Jan Jacinto County, Texas Jail Fails TCJS Inspection
The San Jacinto County jail, in Coldspring, Texas, recently failed an inspection by the Texas Commission on Jail Standards (“TCJS”). The TCJS inspection occurred on October 14, 2020.
A TCJS inspector noted that food was not being prepared under the supervision of a staff member, as required by minimum jail standards. Moreover, inmates are not being offered physical recreation at least three days per week. Aside from this being a minimum jail standard, simple decency would require that inmates be provided some form of physical exercise.
