The Tarrant County jail recently failed an inspection by the Texas Commission on Jail Standards (“TCJS”). This is very concerning, as the Tarrant County jail fairly recently failed another inspection by the TCJS. During the March 8-12, 2021 inspection, the TCJS inspector noted that 140 inmates were not given at least one hour of dayroom time as required by jail standards. The TCJS inspector determined that this occurred on 93 separate days from September 13, 2020 through February 20, 2021. The Tarrant County jail seems to be having, of late, considerable problems. Several inmates have died in the not-to-distant- past in the Tarrant County jail in Fort Worth, Texas.
