The family of a woman who died after becoming dehydrated in the Duchesne County jail in December is suing the county over her death.
Madison Jensen was 21 years old when she died on the four day after being arrested for testing positive for heroin and marijuana. Her family had called deputies to their home after she had a suicidal episode in late November.
Over her five days in custody, Jensen vomited, couldn’t eat or drink and pleaded for help as she lost at least 17 pounds before dying behind bars, The Tribune has found.
