Los Angeles County’s jails are set to be under the watch of thousands of new digital eyes. The L.A. County Sheriff’s Department has purchased 4,641 body-worn cameras for deputies to wear in the facilities, which have seen a spike in inmate deaths this year. The department has also reached an agreement to implement the technology with the labor unions that represent its employees, according to a recent report by the office of Inspector General Max Huntsman.
