Hudspeth County, Texas Jail Fails State Inspection

The Hudspeth County Jail, in Sierra Blanca, Texas, recently failed an inspection by the Texas Commission on Jail Standards (TCJS). The TCJS’s inspection occurred on January 19th, 2022.

The TCJS found at least two minimum jail standards violations. First, the TCJS inspector determined that intercoms in two tanks, and the holding cell, did not work as designed. There was no two-way voice communication in those areas. Moreover, while walking through the jail, the TCJS inspector determined that maintenance and sanitation in the jail did not meet acceptable levels of cleanliness and sanitation required by minimum jail standards. Hopefully, the Hudspeth County Jail will bring itself into compliance with TCJS minimum standards.
