The records come from a running tally of critical incidents inside county jails dubbed Managing For Results, which correctional staff supervisors update after every shift. They were leaked to
Phoenix New Times by an MCSO staffer who was concerned about the increase in suicide attempts. The staffer declined to be named out of fear of retribution.
When reached for comment, MCSO spokesperson Norma Gutierrez-Deorta disputed the numbers in the records. In an email, she claimed that there were only two suicides and two attempted suicides in 2021. Similarly, she wrote that there were four suicide attempts and two suicides in 2020. After being presented with the leaked records, Gutierrez-Deorta wrote that she had to do some research on the issue. When contacted again for comment, she wrote, it’s going to take some time to go through our records.

Well, this was the first Mother’s Day holiday without my Mom, which was harder than I thought it would be. In order to distract my mind from the grief of her unexpected death, I was grateful to have friends and family send messages of support, love and laughter which were like salves for the deep wound left from her passing. My brothers visited her grave, and are thinking about ways of making the visits a bit easier, such as installing a granite bench and maybe adding a flower holder to leave her sunflowers. I am located across the country, making it hard to visit, but I am grateful that my brothers are close. I thank them so much for making the day bearable.

The attorney for Arizona Senate Republicans has been threatening to subpoena Maricopa County officials, including elected officials, to turn over more equipment related to last year’s election.
Specifically, the Senate wants certain passwords and routers so the companies they hired to audit the presidential and U.S. Senate elections in Maricopa County can examine them.
The county has said it doesn’t have the passwords to some of the voting machines, because Dominion Voting Systems, which owns the machines, has them. As for the routers, Maricopa County Sheriff Paul Penzone is among those saying the county would put itself at risk if it were to turn those over.
