The Cass County jail, in Linden, Texas, failed an inspection with the Texas Commission on Jail Standards, (TCJS). The TCJS inspection occurred on December 2, 2021. The Cass County jail is now listed as being non-compliant with the TCJS.
The TCJS inspector found that the Cass County jail violated one minimum jail standard. The inspector determined, after reviewing documentation provided to him by the Cass County jail, that inmates were not being allowed one hour of supervised recreation at least three days per week. The inspector also noted that this was a repeat deficiency at the Cass County jail. Hopefully, the jail will bring itself into compliance with state standards.
