Prison guard esicort inmate throught corridor in jail corridor for booking after arrest
The Dallas County Jail, in Dallas, Texas, was recently found to be not in compliance by the Texas Commission on Jail Standards (TCJS). The TCJS inspector found, after reviewing videos submitted after a custodial death, that observation rounds were not conducted in accordance with minimum jail standards. There is no excuse for not conducting observation rounds in our Texas county jails. The failure to do so could lead to serious injury and death. Hopefully, the Dallas County Jail will bring itself into compliance with minimum jail standards.
