Grand Jury and the Jail

I applaud the Grand Jury for its investigation and advocacy for getting better care for those in custody at the County Jail.

Unfortunately, heads of departments who are elected don’t have to abide by recommendations from the Grand Jury even if the Board of Supervisors agrees with the Grand Jury. If it was a department where the director was hired, that person could be fired if they failed to abide by the recommendations.
