The family of Sandra Bland, an African American woman who's body was found in a jail cell, has just received a $1.9 million wrongful death settlement.

Bland was originally pulled over on July 10, 2015, when she didn't signal that she was changing lanes. The stop turned into a confrontation when she became "argumentative and uncooperative," according to the Texas Department of Public Safety. The dashcam footage from the police car caught the entire confrontation. Later, Bland was found hanging in her cell and her death was ruled a suicide.

Sandra Bland was a 28-year-old civil rights activist, often posting videos to online. She had also recently moved to Texas to start a new job.

After her death, her family pursued a wrongful death lawsuit. The lawsuit was just settled, with Bland's family receiving $1.9 million and promises of prison reform.

The most positive outcome in this suit will be the advent of better surveillance when it comes to prisoners and emergency medical staff at all shifts throughout the jail or prison. This could lead to fewer deaths in the prison system and more accountability.

The reforms will be initiated by the Texas Department of Public Safety and Waller County. The Department of Public Safety will start to conduct training to de-escalate conflict and physicians will be able to be examine inmates face-to-face.

Hopefully, the reforms presented will lead to fewer deaths in the prison system in Texas and guarantee safety to its inmates.
