## Resource

San Diego County just paid $3 million to the widow of Keith Bach, a 63-year-old Type 1 diabetic who died in jail after being denied insulin — a death ruled homicide by neglect. Despite repeatedly asking for help, jail staff failed to act, and his cellmates saw him struggling. This tragic case adds to a mounting toll: the county has paid over $86 million in similar settlements. In response, jail officials say they’ve implemented new safeguards — including alerts, medical unit housing, and continuous glucose monitors — to prevent future failures.
