Gray County Jail in Pampa, Texas Fails State Inspection

Inside The Old Idaho State Penitentiary

The Gray County jail, in Pampa, Texas, recently failed an inspection conducted by the Texas Commission on Jail Standards (“TCJS”). As a result, the Gray County jail will be listed as being non-compliant.

All Gray County jail staff did not receive required training during the fourth quarter of 2019 and the second and third quarters of 2020. Further, restraint chair logs indicated that staff exceeded the required fifteen-minute observation checks by several minutes on multiple occasions. Jail staff were also not allowing at least 24 hours to pass after serving inmates with a claimed violation or charge. The TCJS inspector noted that technical assistance was given for this last issue in a prior 2020 annual inspection.
