Hundreds of people die each year in jail cells in the United States each year. Harris county has had 12 so far this year in its jail. It is one of the largest jails in the United States. It is understaffed, and the people that do work there has a starting salary of $34000 a year, a wage that is very hard to live off of. They use it as a stepping stone to get to other jobs, and don't take it as an actual career.
