Bexar County Prison Tragedy: 35-Year-Old Jasmine Zaimon Found Dead
Jasmine Zaimon, a 35-year-old inmate, was found unresponsive and pronounced dead in a Bexar County correctional facility.
Authorities are looking into the death of a 35-year-old prisoner discovered motionless Sunday morning at a Bexar County Sheriff's Office detention center.
A unit officer found the inmate, Jasmine Zaimon, and promptly requested for medical help. On-site University Health staff reacted and started life-saving operations. San Antonio Fire and EMS soon arrived, but Zaimon was pronounced dead at 9:00 a.m.
Officials claim Zaimon had been taken into the center on criminal trespass charge Saturday after being apprehended Friday. She was receiving medical attention from University Health personnel and at the time of her passing was adhering to an aggressive course of treatment.
The Castle Hills Police Department is guiding the death inquiry to guarantee an impartial review following the Sandra Bland Act. The Texas Commission on Jail Standards has likewise been informed, as mandated by state law. Furthermore launched a parallel internal affairs inquiry by the Bexar County Sheriff's Office, which authorities assert is routine practice for all in-custody deaths.
Zaimon, the eleventh prisoner to pass away at the Bexar County jail this year, causes ongoing attention on inmate health, supervision, and custodial circumstances.
Measures included in the Sandra Bland Act are enhanced mental health access, better medical continuity, increased monitoring for high-risk inmates, and independent investigations of jail deaths meant to improve inmate safety across Texas facilities.
As the inquiry goes on, no additional details have been made public.
