Kleberg County, Texas Jail Fails State Inspection

The Kleberg County Jail, in Kingsville, Texas failed a recent inspection by the Texas Commission on Jail Standards (TCJS). The TCJS conducted an inspection on November 30th, 2021. Hopefully, the Kleberg County Jail will remedy its issues.

The inspector saw that the jail facility lacked an acceptable level of cleanliness and sanitation. The inspector noted that this was at least the second time that the Kleberg County Jail was warned about such issues, as these issues were noted as an area of technical assistance during the prior annual inspection. The inspector was also unable to verify whether inmates were being provided an hour of recreation at least three times a week. This is required by TCJS minimum jail standards, as well as simple human decency.
