Prison guard escort inmate through corridor in jail corridor for booking after arrest.
The Tyler County Jail, in Woodville, Texas, failed an inspection by the Texas Commission on Jail Standards (TCJS) occurring on or about July 13, 2022. Therefore, the Tyler County, Texas jail is now listed at TCJS’s website as being non-compliant.
The TCJS inspector determined, during a review of an escape from the Tyler County Jail, that jail staff failed to perform observation checks for several hours. This demonstrates that observation checks, which must be made at specific periodic intervals, protect not only jail inmates and jail employees, but also the public at large.
