The Dickens County jail, in Dickens, Texas failed a State jail inspection on September 25, 2020. The Dickens County jail is now listed as being non-compliant by the Texas Commission on Jail Standards.
Texas Commission on Jail Standards inspectors found that, on the day of inspection, provided documentation did not indicate that all Dickens County jail staff had received life safety training immediately upon employment and at least one each calendar quarter. This is a requirement of Texas minimum jail standards. Hopefully, the Dickens County jail will bring itself into compliance and assure that all of its personnel have been properly trained.
