In neighboring San Mateo County, an inmate was found dead in his cell last week.
He was identified as 25-year-old Kyle Harrison, convicted of killing the parents of twin girls when the car he was speed-racing in collided with them in 2022.
He was less than a month in an eight-year sentence.
The cause of death in that case has yet to be determined.
