华盛顿的监狱监督法案失败了 使国家无法为当地监狱制定可执行的标准 Washington's jail oversight bill failed, leaving the state without enforceable standards for local jails.

华盛顿参议院第5005号法案本可以为地方监狱建立全州监督制度,但在被大大削弱后在立法机构中死亡。 Washington’s Senate Bill 5005, which would have created a statewide oversight system for local jails, died in the legislature after being significantly weakened. 该法案旨在建立一个独立机构,以实施标准,进行强制性检查,并改善审前被拘留者的条件,其中许多人患有未经治疗的心理健康问题和戒毒问题。 The bill aimed to establish an independent body to enforce standards, conduct mandatory inspections, and improve conditions for pretrial detainees, many of whom suffer from untreated mental health issues and substance withdrawal. 反对者,包括执法和县级团体,认为最初的提案过于繁琐,导致一个被剥除的版本,造成一个没有执法权力的不具约束力的监狱理事会。 Opponents, including law enforcement and county groups, argued the original proposal was burdensome, leading to a stripped-down version that created a non-binding jail council without enforcement power. 尽管有文件记载的死亡、伤害和安全失灵,但国家仍然是仅12个没有可执行的监狱标准的国家之一。 The state remains one of only 12 without enforceable jail standards, despite documented deaths, injuries, and safety failures. 律师警告说,缺乏监督会增加法律风险,损害公共安全,特别是考虑到将近80%的囚犯正在等待审判。 Advocates warn the lack of oversight increases legal risks and harms public safety, especially given that nearly 80% of inmates are awaiting trial.
