Newly released body-camera footage from the Los Angeles Police Department shows officers beating Jose Carlos Hoyoz-Munoz, 58, after he was handcuffed and restrained for combative behavior. Hoyoz-Munoz was found dead in a jail cell shortly after the use-of-force incidents. The LAPD's account of the number of use-of-force incidents has also shifted.
Meanwhile, in England and Wales, concerns are mounting over prison capacity. A minister from the Labour party has warned that cells for newly arrested individuals could be exhausted without early prison release schemes. This plan has drawn criticism from various groups, including domestic abuse charities and bereaved families, highlighting a potential crisis in the justice system's ability to hold offenders.
