Home visits could reduce infant deaths and feds slam Fulton's Jail

from WABE's Week In Review · host WABE

A federal investigation has found Fulton County Jail is violating the civil rights of people in its custody by failing to protect them from violence, using excessive force, and holding them in filthy and unsafe conditions. Sheriff Patrick Labat says the issues predate his tenure but he believes the problems outlined by the department of justice are fixable. Plus, DeKalb County is planning to raise water and sewer rates to make major improvements to its water system. And we go inside a program that sends medical professionals to new and expecting moms in an effort to curb Georgia's extremely high maternal mortality rate. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
