The
Texas Commission on Jail Standards (“TCJS”), on September 3rd and 4th,
2019, conducted an inspection of the Anderson County jail. The TCJS has
now listed the Anderson County jail as being non-compliant.
TCJS noted that the Anderson County jail violated Section 273.4(b) of TCJS standards. The TCJS inspector noted that, during the inspection, medical staff were not using Medication Administration Records (“MAR”) sheets since the failed implementation of an electronic MAR system in July 2019. Hopefully, the Anderson County jail will remedy this issue and assure the safety of its inmates.
