Almost 7,000 individuals in Texas have died while in police custody or behind bars over the past 10 years, according to an online report released Wednesday by a University of Texas at Austin research institute. Nearly 2,000 people who died had not been convicted of a crime, Institute for Urban Policy Research and Analysis data shows.

“We can’t have an informed conversation about who’s dying at the hands of police or who’s dying in jails if we don’t literally know who’s dying and how they’re dying,” said Amanda Woog, a postdoctoral fellow at the institute. “I think this information can help us get to the bottom causes of mortality in the criminal justice system and with that lead us to solutions.”   Continue reading “Report Finds Almost 7,000 In-Custody Deaths in Texas”
