Sheriff Bonner seeks new facilities to address a crisis in Shelby County Jail after two recent inmate deaths, emphasizing staff shortages and outdated infrastructure.

The issues are mounting at the 201 Poplar jail as the Shelby County Sheriff’s Office investigates the deaths of two more inmates, days apart from each other.

A man was found "unresponsive" in his cell at 201 Poplar and died at the hospital a day later. The Shelby County Sheriff's Office is investigating.

The deaths are at least the 73 death in custody since 2016, according to data maintained by ABC24, and mark the the third and fourth in one week.
