Liberty County, Texas Jail Fails State Inspection

DM Corridor in County Jail with inmate and deputy

The Liberty County jail, in Liberty, Texas, failed an inspection by the Texas Commission on Jail Standards (TCJS). The inspection occurred on May 2, 2022.

The TCJS inspector determined that the Liberty County jail violated a specific minimum jail standard. That standard addresses multiple occupancy cells, including their size and other specifics. The TCJS inspector determined, after reviewing Liberty County jail documentation, that the jail had been housing inmates over the jail’s rated capacity for 23 days in April 2022, which included continuously since April 9, 2022. Hopefully, the Liberty County jail will bring itself into compliance. Overcrowding can lead to significant injury and death, both to inmates and jail personnel.
