Elevator issues have been reported at a jail facility, with people getting trapped inside more than 100 times. The problems have raised concerns about safety and backup access. An incident last month was captured on surveillance video, showing a deputy trapped with four inmates in a stopped elevator for five minutes.

The facility has nine elevators, serving different purposes such as inmate transport, medical, and kitchen use. A sheriff has expressed concern about the reliability of these elevators, unable to guarantee that they will not get stuck.

Further details about the elevator issues and the facility are available, including exclusive access and a report from a news team that rode the elevators with the sheriff.
