19 deaths inside Macomb Co. Jail 'should set off alarm bells,' advocates say

19 deaths since 2012 at the Macomb County jail should “set off alarm bells,” say jail reform advocates and family members that have lost loved ones. “This is what we call a complex, systemic failure,” said Dan Korobkin, the deputy legal director of the ACLU of Michigan. “We’re talking about an overall systemic problem where multiple people are dying and probably unnecessarily.”
