The Hill County jail, in Hillsboro, Texas, is now listed as being non-compliant by the Texas Commission on Jail Standards (“TCJS”). The TCJS conducted an inspection on February 25, 2021. The TCJS inspector determined, after reviewing documentation received in response to a complaint, that an inmate was placed on disciplinary restrictions without a signed waiver or appearing before a disciplinary board. Hopefully, the Hill County jail will bring itself into compliance with Texas minimum standards.
