On Friday, Veronica “Love” Horstead was found unresponsive in the Champaign County Jail. Her death was the third in the jail in just over six months. She was the mother of a six-year-old, and a 2014 graduate of Eastern Illinois University, but for years had struggled with drug addiction. On December 1, 2015, jail video footage showed Toya Frazier laid presumably dead in a solitary cell for nearly an hour and a half before being discovered by jail guards. She had spent the previous night screaming from the pain of heroin withdrawal. On Easter Morning, March 27, 2016, Paul Clifton was pronounced dead of “natural causes,” after multiple asthma attacks in the jail. He had been arrested late night at his home for a warrant of driving on a suspended license. All three were African American, in a jail where Blacks make up 60-70% of the daily population. They were each well-known in the community and will be sorely missed.</span></i><span style='color:black'><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto'><i><span style='color:black'> </span></i><span style='color:black'><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto'><i><span style='color:black'>As concerned community members we will address the Champaign County Board during public comment on Tuesday night, 6:30 p.m. at Brookens Administrative Center, 1776 E.
