The Life of Sandra Bland Embodied In Legislation

The version of the Sandra Bland Act bill passed by the Legislature is like an alcoholic beverage where the ice has melted. It no longer retains the Texas House’s potent non-jailable provisions that stipulated no one could be arrested for committing an offense that is punishable only by fine. Although it remains an amazing bill, it does not speak to the case of Sandra Bland, who should never have been arrested and found dead days later in a Waller County jail. The bill addresses how law enforcement will be trained, jails will be equipped and what resources will be available to people with mental illness, substance abuse or intellectual differences.
