A new Injustice Watch investigation reveals that 18 detainees died at Cook County Jail, the highest number of people in almost a decade. A spokesperson for Sheriff Tom Dart points to an influx of fentanyl-laced paper smuggled into the jail as the “primary driver” for the spike. Advocates say there’s more need for oversight. Reset sits down with Injustice Watch reporter Carlos Ballesteros who followed this for over a year. For a full archive of Reset interviews, head over to wbez.org/reset.
