Um,
He's one of three members.
He's one of seven members on the prison board, but he's an elected official who's making now the decisions.
Lamont Jones is another person.
I mean, he's got political power.
The coroner is an elected official.
These are elected officials who we have the ability to go to them to, if we don't like what's happening in our local government, in our local communities.
To get new people in, especially like these off cycle elections, they tend to be so low turnout and it's just the person that we know.
But these are hugely important offices.
And we have seen change since Justin has gotten into office.
We have Prime Care Medical, which is the company that provides health care services to the jail and has for the last.
40 years has never been audited has never had their contract even put out to see what other companies are out there they now are the subject of an audit because of justin they're up for an rfp which means there are other companies and they're potentially going to be out after 40 years of you know some bad situations and well we've come to find some potential corruptions of their former owner paying off
or paying and giving money to a commissioner who was voting on these issues.
So, I mean, there is power.
It's not like the people are powerless, but we got to get these elected officials in office to actually make these changes that need to be made.
I mean, all three of the individuals that we talked about are all young black men.
Black men tend to be significantly overrepresented.
There's a UCLA report, a team of researchers from UCLA looked at the deaths at Dauphin County Prison and found that black men are subjected to more violence and that
Our coroner, our elected coroner appears to habitually misclassify deaths that would be attributable to violence against these individuals as natural or undetermined.
And again, that that's something that that it's black men tend to be much more subjected to that.
