In Arapahoe County, there is plexiglass paneling on bunk beds. Jefferson County’s strategy involves flexible pens. And in Denver, it is tear-resistant sheets and blankets. Across the state, jails and prisons are employing an array of strategies to push back against rising inmate deaths and suicide attempts, a problem complicated by the state’s burgeoning mental health and opioid abuse crises. “We certainly aren’t naive enough to think this is a suicide-proofing program,” said Vince Line, detention services bureau chief for Arapahoe County. “Inmates are creative, and if they’re intent on self-harm, they will find a method to accomplish that.” This year has seen a string of inmate suicides in Colorado, from a man found last month in a Douglas County cell hung by a sheet from his bed, a self-strangulation death in Mesa County a week later and two strangulation suicides in Jefferson County, one in September and one in June . In a report on jailhouse deaths published … [Read more...] about Bendable pens, tear-resistant sheets, plexiglass: In Colorado, these are the tools of inmate suicide prevention

While politicians tout agriculture as essential to Colorado’s economic life, some garlic and chile farmers of the Arkansas River Valley are battling a proposed state-backed gravel mine east of Pueblo that threatens to drive them away. The farmers for 16 years have defended their fields against the mine on adjacent state-owned land up the hill. They contend gravel mining would destroy prairie needed to sustain pollinators, disrupt production with dust from noisy trucks, and foul their 1874 Bessemer Ditch with sediment that clogs irrigation sprinklers. They asked Gov. John Hickenlooper to intervene. But last week, Colorado’s land board and the state mining board rejected the farmers’ appeals. The conflict shows how, despite wide political support for the idea of saving farming amid a Front Range development boom, state agencies cannot easily make that happen. The State Land Board is required to lease state land to maximize revenue for schools. The mining board has limited … [Read more...] about Gravel vs. garlic: Colorado farmers fight state-backed mine as urban expansion fuels demand

Democrats in general, especially Democratic women, are much more likely than Republicans to block or unfriend people on social media over political disagreements, according to a new study. The study , which was conducted by the Public Religion Research Institute, found that 24 percent of Democrats who use social media said that they blocked, unfriended, or stopped following someone after the election because of political differences. That compares to only 13 percent of the survey’s respondents, which numbered 1,004 in all, who said that they cut ties on social media because of politics. Just nine percent of Republicans said that they removed people from their social circle for political reasons. The survey, which was conducted by researchers Dr. Daniel Cox and Dr. Robert P. Jones, also found a significant gender gap when it comes to blocking and unfriending. “Women are twice as likely as men to report removing people from their online social circle because of the … [Read more...] about Democratic Women Are Most Likely To Block People Online Because Of Political Views

WHITE HOUSE - U.S. President Joe Biden, while expressing frustration, has limited power to overrule decisions by state governors who are ending mask mandates and lifting other restrictions amid the coronavirus pandemic. "I think it's a big mistake,” Biden told a small group of reporters Wednesday in the Oval Office when asked about Republican governors in Texas and Mississippi casting off restrictions and allowing businesses to reopen at full capacity. As the nation makes progress with vaccinations, “the last thing we need is the Neanderthal thinking that in the meantime, ‘Everything's fine. Take off your mask. Forget it,’ ” added the president, a Democrat. “It still matters.” During the previous administration of Republican President Donald Trump, who downplayed the severity of COVID-19 despite eventually becoming infected himself, not wearing a mask became a political statement. Since taking office in January, Biden and top federal health officials repeatedly have emphasized … [Read more...] about Ending Mask Mandates Reflects ‘Neanderthal Thinking,’ Biden Says
