A trove of evidence was publicly released this week in the case of a woman's in-custody death at the Las Colinas jail in Santee, including multiple videos depicting what occurred inside the jail during her final days.
Michael and Paloma Serna stand outside the courtroom in El Cajon where a preliminary hearing was held for the medical staff from Las Colinas Detention Center who were charged with her death.
Serna died shortly after she collapsed in her cell in the jail's medical observation unit on Nov. 11, 2019, five days after she was booked into the jail. Her family alleges jail deputies and medical staff failed to properly care for Serna, who was pregnant and exhibiting symptoms of drug and alcohol withdrawal, including frequent vomiting and seizures.
To that end, Martinez said that the Medication-Assisted Treatment program, which supports inmates suffering from substance use disorder, has been expanded, and jail staff conduct medical and mental health screenings for everyone booked into jail so that withdrawal protocols and other services can be initiated immediately.
