SAN JOSE (BCN) — Santa Clara County leaders announced a plan Thursday to assess and speed up improvements at its jails in light of an in-custody death allegedly at the hands of three correctional deputies two weeks ago. Michael James Tyree, 31, was a mentally ill inmate being held on drug and theft charges at the county’s Main Jail in San Jose, where he was pronounced dead on Aug. 27 after he was allegedly assaulted by correctional deputies Jereh Lubrin, 28, Rafael Rodriguez, 27, and Matthew Farris, 27, prosecutors said. On Tuesday, the deputies were each arraigned on a murder charge for Tyree’s death along with an assault under the color of authority charge for an alleged attack on another inmate identified as Juan Villa, prosecutors said. Supervisors Dave Cortese and Cindy Chavez provided details of the plan to review the custodial processes, procedures and protocols at county jail facilities. The plan will be presented at the board’s meeting next Tuesday. Read More. |
