The Llano County jail, in Llano, Texas, failed an inspection by the Texas Commission on Jail Standards (“TCJS”). The inspection occurred on June 7, 2021.
The TCJS inspector determined that, on two separate occasions in April 2021, jailers did not conduct 15-minute face-to-face observations of inmates placed in restraints. It is very important that such observations be made to assure that inmates are not in medical distress and would not thus need medical care. Hopefully, the Llano County jail will bring itself into compliance with Texas minimum jail standards.
