Death in the Jail

Unfortunately there was a death in the jail yesterday.

The Star Tribune has an article which states:

"An inmate at the Hennepin County jail died Monday after an apparent in-cell suicide attempt, authorities said.

The inmate, a 25-year-old woman, was found unresponsive in her cell at about 1 p.m., according to Sheriff's Office spokeswoman Lisa Kiava. The inmate had apparently attempted suicide, but the sheriff's office provided no further details." 


Those words can't describe the professionalism and heart demonstrated during that stressful time. I'd like to thank all of the jail staff who responded and worked so hard to trying to save the woman's life using CPR.


I'd also like to thank our MNPEA attorney Rob Fowler, who sat with our members during the Critical Incident investigation conducted by the detectives. It's a service our profession has long needed.
