WJZ media partner The Baltimore Sun obtained records showing that correctional officers at the jail refused to admit nearly 2,600 detainees who were in police custody between June 2012 and April 2015.
Baltimore police are under scrutiny for their treatment of detainees following the death of Freddie Gray last month. Six officers have been charged in Gray’s death, which sparked riots and widespread protests. The Justice Department is conducting a civil-rights investigation of Baltimore police.

It's always been the same way with Delaware detox centers.It's difficult to treat drunks and drug addicts when they are bleeding and broken from interaction with the police.
If they didn't break the law they wouldn't be arrested. Some of them deserve to be hurt regardless of their color.
90% of jail refuses that count as "injuries" are for intoxicated people. There's no story here.

You are an idiot.
Thousands too injured to even be put in jail??
THOUSANDS?
And no cop did anything wrong at all?
Sounds like Chris Kyle telling his kid that he just about killed someone in a traffic dispute because the guy "tried to break my fist with his jaw."
Something doesn't add up.
Keep cheering.
If they are intox. Or the person even says that they want to see a doctor they wont take them. If the person pulls a bandaid off an there is a cut underneath they wont take them. If they take them in the jail has to pay the medical bill. There are ways around dealing with police. Do what your suppose to do.
An overwhelming majority of those seen in the ER who are brought in while in custody are experiencing withdrawal or expect to experience symptoms of withdrawal.
If alcohol is suspected, it is a must that they be transported to ER as alcohol withdrawal syndrome is life threatening and does cause death.
All will tell you, it's better to be "drug sick" (slang for drug withdrawal) in the hospital than in a jail cell.
Break the law, go to jail, period. If you get hurt in the system, too bad, you deserve it. It is called punishment for a reason.
Must have slipped and fallen while intoxicated....don't blame Po Po cause they can't stand up!!!!
1:10-Just a few weeks ago---- I believe in Cecil county-maybe Harford--- there was an in custody death of an intoxicated subject who when the officer turned his back, he stood up started to walk and feel straight back hitting his head on the floor causing a fatal head injury. The video is on line.
