The Coryell County jail, in Gatesville, Texas, failed an inspection by the Texas Commission on Jail Standards (“TCJS”). The inspection occurred on April 14, 2021. The TCJS inspector determined, after reviewing documentation, that Coryell County had been housing inmates over its rated capacity for seven days.
Hopefully, Coryell County will cure its non-compliance with TCJS minimum standards. Our law firm continues to prosecute the case regarding the death of Kelli Leanne Page in the Coryell County jail. We have argued the appeal to the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals and await its decision.
