Brazoria County, Texas Jail Fails State Inspection
Danger on the street. Blue flasher on the police car at night.
The Brazoria County jail, in Angleton, Texas, failed a Texas Commission on Jail Standards inspection (“TCJS”) in December 2020. As a result, the Brazoria County jail is now listed as being non-compliant.
The TCJS inspector learned that the Brazoria County jail was not following its approved Health Services Operational Plan and ensuring that procedures are in place to ensure nutritional requirements for pregnant inmates. The Brazoria County jail was also unable to produce documentation showing that dietary menus included provisions for ensuring nationally-recognized nutritional requirements for known pregnant inmates. Finally, the TCJS inspector noted issues with information contained in recreation logs.
