Episode: Sheriff's department: Inmate dies after being assaulted
Description: A man incarcerated at the George Bailey detention center died this week. Social justice advocates say 19 inmates have died in 2022, surpassing the 2021 death toll.

Organizers say they expect 30,000 people to attend each day of the three-day conference dedicated to the livestream platform, Twitch.
