The numbers of people dying in county jails are adding up in 2014—and most recently, the death of 18-year-old Victoria Gray was especially tragic and needless. She died in September in the Brazoria County Jail after that jail failed in so many  ways, it will take a full investigation to sort that out and hold officers and officials accountable. So many young people are dying of what are usually called natural causes and their deaths are NOTalways investigated. More have died in police custody or other facilities; we are only listing those in county jails. Earlier this year, the list included Courtney Ruth Elmore, was 33 years old. She died February 11, 2014, around 7:00 a.m.. in the Brown County Jail. Was the staff trained to watch for respiratory failure?  The following is a list of more people who have died in Texas county jails, but we only have their names and dates so far; if you know any of them or have information about them, please email us at info@texasjailproject.org
