The investigation into the 2021 death of a Santa Rita Jail inmate gained some traction this week with the announcement that the Alameda County Sheriff's Office will comply with a request for information on the case. District Attorney Pamela Price announced Wednesday that Sheriff Yesenia Sanchez has agreed to provide information to investigators from Price's office regarding the death of Maurice Monk , who was found dead in his cell on Nov. 5, 2021.
Monk, I am told, had a mental illness -- a diagnosis. He had medical issues. We all know that mental illness is not a crime, and it should not be a death sentence in Alameda County,' Price said. A lawyer for Monk's family said he expects Price to file criminal charges once the investigation is complete.
