Not "Safer in Jail"

  • A 19-year-old man being held at Cook County Jail on an attempted murder charge was found dead in his cell early Saturday with apparent head trauma, according to the Cook County sheriff’s office.

    At 1:53 a.m., correctional officers found Pedro Ruiz unresponsive in his cell and immediately “began lifesaving measures,” according to a statement from the sheriff’s office. He was taken to Mount Sinai Hospital and pronounced dead.

    Ruiz’s cellmate was put in handcuffs, the sheriff’s office said, which they said was standard procedure during a investigation.
Yeah, that would be called "cuffing the suspect" at the very least.

Someone has commented that there have been something like thirty deaths in three years at the jail, which would lead us to believe there's a serial killer or killers stalking the corridors. So emptying the jail makes sense - less available victims, right?

Or perhaps chronic under-staffing along with incompetency in management.

They say jails are the biggest mental institutions in
the County. Most inmates have serious psych problems
and wind up in the hooch by default.

Maybe he slipped on a bar of soap - or a piece of pizza.
At least he didn't hang himself.

When I heard this on the news, I immediately thought: "Whomever he tried to kill, had family or friends who came back and handled the situation in Jail...so he couldn't get out and kill them."

Good riddance.

Hope family gets an alderman connected law firm and sued the jail. The poor boy was about to turn his life around and head off to medical school- and a few years down the road fall victim to a shooting sort of like that episode a few months back involving the male nurse- God test his soul, that asshole who murdered him will Smullet his case and be a free asshole courtesy of CC

And no chief of patrol on the new chart.
Some inspectors assigned to compstat goof and some on another branch.
Deputy chief xo, district co, and detective co all report to deputy chief but there is still a chief of detectives?
Deputy chief xo has no responsibility

Seems area deputy chief has more responsibility than a chief

And commander patrolman is still collecting a paycheck at oemc?

CPD has become Office Space where no one knows who they report to. I can’t wait for compstat.

Fantastic idea by the social justice warriors. Why on earth would a jail need to keep a gang database? Oh wait... to keep people alive and stop 7 figure payouts on the lawsuits.

First murder in a long time. All the deaths have to do mostly with overdose. A few successful suicides, a couple natural causes, but mostly overdoses. These inmates can get whatever they want inside that jail. No more strip searches, not enough staff to conduct searches regularly equals a bad mix. Jail is definitely not jail anymore, even if these guys don’t get a I-bond. Pizza parties, chair yoga, everyone has a “mental illness” and needs a program to be in.

12:43 AM CompStat is right. It's like Star Trek.
You know it's fake, but pretty soon people start
quoting lines and episodes at work. You've been around
it so long you no longer question it. And that's exactly the
point. Only the Computer Companies, salesmen, and the
"consultants" get rich on this stuff. System running slow?
Not getting the "correct" "predictions"? Wait, I'll send in
a consultant to tune up your system, re-educate the staff,
do a system analysis. Maybe you need the latest upgraded
software. Maybe you need new hardware. Money is no
problem. Run a defecit or float a bond issue. Hey, we've
been around and fixed a lot of places. The problem with this
business concept is the over-educated elusive guru who is
always at your Beck and call should you ever have a problem.
Notice how you don't call Microsoft or Intel? Yeah, you call
Sean Malinoski, and therein lies the problem. You have been
Pavlov-Dogged into accepting this charade, you just accept it
and it becomes second nature. Pattern Recognition? Yeah,
I'll give you a great one. The pattern Malinoski has from
Coast to Coast, yet most coppers can't see the forest for the
trees.

I worked in the jail a few tears back and have never been able to understand all the "religious" services/meetings the jail is allowed to have. The jail like a public school is a tax payer funded institution, I never went to public school but do they teach religious studies in public schools? I thought there was a separation of church and state if you are not allowed to teach about God in a public school then why should you be allowed to teach about God (in any form) in a public jail if you will. These "religious services " in the jail are nothing more then opportunities to pass drugs, weapons, kites (messages) to other gang members. I remember dude going to Christian, Jewish and Muslim services all in the same week, must of been a theologian. Perhaps if you taught them about God when they were in school they would not necessarily be in their currant situation.

Backin the 70's Area 4 homicide detectives were sent into CCJ to investigate murders. The county staff and sheriff's investigators could not be trusted to do an honest investigation. My heart went out to the people working in that shithole. I found the sheriff's investigators to be pretty decent people, some corrupt politically, but over all trying to do a good job under terrible circumstances.

Snoring is irritating.

Hmmmm, someone has some ‘splainin to do. A whopping, overloaded cell with two violent inmates overnight is unheard of.
KmmmmFxxxxxx2020 (endorsed by Lari the LightLoafer) has to be fuming.
It’s her people that put these two worthless feral behind bars. But now instead of dilly-dallying with two trials, they only have one to prep a plea deal for. Gotta wonder how long Peedro would have had before the street reprisal would have done in him in.

PrickWrinkle, Evans and DilDart’s only solution is a quicker, streamlined Affordable Bond or perhaps skip that trip down to 26th/Cal altogether by appointing Desk sergeants as Cook Co magistrates with powers to adjudicate these commonplace acts of violence faster than any desk or court I-Bond.

Does this death investigation count as a HeyJackass stat?

Just an FYI SCC this guy was a rival to the killer. Little Tommy boy dart at the direction of Preckwinkle stopped asking gang affiliation at intake. So this guy, a Latin Saint was put into a two person cell with an SD who has been known by the detectives to have shot several saints but couldn’t get charged. If they would have separated rival gang Members then this would’ve never happened

When Sheriff Arpaio had 5 deaths in a year the feds were called in. Dart has 5 times that amount while the media gives him humanitarian awards. Look at the fights on transport buses costing tax payers 45 million last year. Almost everyday there is an attack and dart hands out pizza to the offender. Great
Deterrence.

The Teamsters have supposedly told the officers off the record to stand down and basically let the inmates kill each other. Sheriff Dart won't back the officers who do their jobs so do you blame them. The jail had about 12,000 inmates in 2002, down to under 4,000 now. There is basically the same amount of guards as in 02 while now its free for all. Messed up the Sheriff is offering comp time to officers who refer qualified recruits cause few want the job. They use to have thousands of applicants with college degrees lining up. Dart changed that too.

Tom Dart berates and belittles top-staff and thinks he is smarter than everyone else/look at the results. You don't need to beat the inmates, there is plenty of other remedies to deter this violence. There is plenty of high ranking members who recently resigned to let Tom fall on his own sword.
