A Texas Commission on Jail Standards (“TCJS”) inspection recently found the Jasper County jail to be out of compliance with State standards. This determination was made as a result of a January 14, 2020 inspection.

The TCJS inspector, while reviewing inmate medical files, determined that an inmate had not had his or her medication reviewed or verified from the date of booking until the date of the inspection. That inmate had been booked in August 2019.

The TCJS inspector also found the Jasper County jail to be in violation of Texas standards relating to health records. The inspector noted, while reviewing inmate medical files, that medication administration record sheets were not being properly and accurately completed by jail staff who were administering medications.
