From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground.

RDAP is a voluntary program that lasts between nine and 12 months (ordinarily, it requires roughly 38 weeks to complete in five-day workweeks, three-hour-a-day segments). The 500-hour program strives to educate inmates on the dangers of addiction. Most importantly, relapse prevention is stressed with the goal of helping inmates during post-release stay clean and sober to avoid reoffending. Congress appropriates more than $100 million annually for RDAP.

Nine people have died inside L.A. County jails so far this year, an alarming number for the Sheriff's Department as it continues to face a lawsuit from the state over the conditions in local lockups.

The families of two people who died in San Diego jails last year have filed separate civil rights lawsuits in federal court both accusing the Sheriff's Office and its private medical contractors of systemic failures they say took the lives of Callen Lines and Corey Dean. Lines died from drug withdrawal in the Las Colinas women's jail in May, a day after her arrest. Dean, who suffered from schizophrenia, died two months later in the Vista jail after weeks in solitary confinement. Both lawsuits, filed last week by attorneys Grace Jun and Danielle Pena, allege staff ignored repeated pleas for help from both.

Judge Anthony Cartin remarked that Pinckard's offending was "only discovered because of a clumsy mistake," adding: "An officer gathering evidence found evidence from your camera." He noted that her camera "had been activated during the intimate encounter." Judge Cartin further stated: "The offence wasn't a one-off it went on for a number of months and the card was sent." In jailing Pinckard, he concluded that her "conduct diminishes the public confidence in the criminal justice system."
