Deaths at the Salt Lake County jail: Families of inmates say poor care, callous staff must change

(Leah Hogsten | The Salt Lake Tribune) "I try blocking it out as much as I can, because it's wrong," said Meagan Deadrich, wiping tears from her facing while talking about the loss of her unborn daughter in 2018 while an inmate at the Salt Lake County jail. Deadrich began bleeding vaginally and repeatedly asked jail staff to see a doctor. Finally, she was taken to a hospital, where it was discovered that her baby had died.
