In this Sunday Edition: Current and former medical staff at LA County jails describe a working environment that's dysfunctional, abusive and detrimental to providing health care. One county physician describes it as a daily “human rights disaster.” And much of the criticism is leveled at Chief Medical Officer Dr. Sean Henderson. This week, criminal justice reporter Robert Garrova talked about the KPCC investigation with All Things Considered host Nick Roman. Then: The L.A. County Office of Diversion and Reentry houses thousands of people with mental health challenges who otherwise would be incarcerated. The program is widely heralded as a success. But an ODR program that helps those convicted of felonies or awaiting trial on felony charges is no longer accepting clients because it has maxed out its funding. The question now is: will the county consider putting up more money for it? Criminal justice reporter Emily Elena Dugdale sought to find some answers.
