Every year in the US, about 1,000 people die in jail.
Many of them awaiting trial.
This isn't a problem that someone else has to deal with.
We all are at risk for dying in jails.
In a special series,
we'll look at why people are dying in jail and how to prevent it from happening on Here and Now Anytime,
a podcast from NPR and WBUR.
Live from NPR News in Washington, I'm Janine Herbst.
Police are being deployed to synagogues across the U.K. after an attack on one in the city of Manchester in northern England.
NPR's Lauren Freyer reports at least two people are dead.
Several others were injured in a car ramming and stabbing before the suspect was killed by police.
Manchester police say the attacker drove his car into a crowd outside the Heaton Park Hebrew congregation synagogue and stabbed one person before being shot by police.
Manchester Mayor Andy Burnham notes the attack took place on Yom Kippur,
one of the holiest days in the Jewish calendar.
Obviously what we would all want to recognize is how people in our Jewish community will be feeling.
Burnham told the BBC the immediate danger is over though.
Prime Minister Keir Starmer posted on social media that he's appalled and that the timing of the attack on Yom Kippur makes it,
quote, all the more horrific.
He cut short a visit to Denmark and rushed home to chair an emergency meeting in response.
