The Texas Commission on Jail Standards (TCJS) re-inspected the Liberty County jail, in Liberty, Texas, on June 10, 2022. The Liberty County jail once again failed the inspection. As a result, it continued to be listed as being a non-compliant jail at the TCJS website.
The TCJS Complaint Inspector determined, after investigating a complaint, that an inmate had been housed in booking for over the maximum 48 hour period. The inmate had in fact been housed in the booking area from May 12, 2022 through May 18, 2022. The TCJS Complaint Inspector also determined, when reviewing Liberty County jail shower logs, that they did not indicate that inmates were offered an opportunity to shower at least every other day.
