Prison guard esicort inmate throught corridor in jail corridor for booking after arrest.
The Willacy County jail, in Raymondville, Texas, is now listed as being non-compliant by the Texas Commission on Jail Standards (“TCJS”). This result occurred from a December 11, 2020 inspection by the TCJS.
The TCJS determined that the fire panel located at the courthouse had not been inspected for over a year. Likewise, fire extinguishers had not been inspected or charged since 2019. Further, the County continued failing to provide skilled support professionals to make necessary repairs in a timely manner to the jail, to include multiple issues with lighting and plumbing.
