Montgomery County Commissioner Mary McDonald is calling on oversight agencies of the Montgomery County Jail to investigate its operations in the wake of the most recent death of an inmate.
In a statement issued this week, McDonald called on state and local entities, including the Ohio Bureau of Adult Detention, Public Health – Dayton & Montgomery County, the U.S. Marshals Service, and the Montgomery County Grand Jury, to “conduct comprehensive reviews” of the jail and “share their findings with the public.”
