Prison guard esicort inmate throught corridor in jail corridor for booking after arrest
The Delta County jail, in Cooper, Texas, recently failed an inspection by the Texas Commission on Jail Standards (“TCJS”). TCJS inspectors determined that the Delta County jail violated a minimum jail standard. TCJS inspectors noted, during a review of life safety training, that Delta County jail staff did not sign training records for the first, second, and third quarters of 2020. Further, the individual conducting the training did not sign the training record. There was also no supporting documentation that life safety training was conducted on dates specified in training records. Hopefully, the Delta County Sheriff’s Office will bring its jail into compliance with TCJS standards.
