Stonewall County Jail is Cited for Noncompliance in a November 2022 Jail Inspection Report

Rule §273.5~Mental Disabilities/Suicide Prevention Plan. Stonewall County Jail was allegedly noncompliant with Rule §273.5(b)~Screening Instrument. An approved mental disabilities/suicide prevention screening instrument shall be completed immediately on all inmates admitted.

• A review of medical files revealed that the staff at Stonewall County Jail has not been filling out the Screening Form for medical/mental/developmental impairments in its entirety.

The Purpose of Screening Forms

Screening forms are used during an intake process in which correctional staff triage those who may be at significant risk for suicide. Experience has shown that intake screening is a part of the overall procedure that can practically eliminate custodial suicides.

Intake screening is the first step and is crucial to determine whether inmates require a more specialized mental health assessment. Inmates will not receive treatment for their mental health if it is not identified as a need.

The screening form should be completed by a trained booking jailer or mental /medical health personnel.

The goal of providing information on this website is to help Texas inmates who are now or have previously been prisoners in county or municipal jails in the state. Making allegations that entities or persons have been involved in wrongdoing is never an intention.
