Coryell County sheriff gives tour of jail ahead of special election

Coryell County Sheriff Scott Williams gave media outlets a tour of the county jail Monday afternoon and shared more information on the current needs that the jail and county are facing.
Williams and his staff were notified last week that the Coryell County Jail was found out of compliance due to overcrowding by the Texas Commission on Jail Standards, following a surprise inspection on April 14.
Previously, TCJS had requested that the Coryell County Sheriff’s Office provide to the state weekly reports on population numbers within the jail, including those inmates who are “paper ready” to be sent to Texas Department of Criminal Justice facilities. On April 8, 2021, Coryell County had provided the requested information, where it was determined that their population was 103, which was over the rated facility capacity number of 92. Upon further review, it was revealed Coryell County had been housing inmates over capacity, with several days in early to mid-April having the population at or near 100. The number dropped down on April 14 as inmates were sent to another county.

Coryell County voters to decide fate of proposed jail during May 1 election

County officials say it's needed, but residents divided

CORYELL COUNTY, TX — Voters in Coryell County are divided on the proposal for a new, 250-bed jail.
“Appraisals have skyrocketed. Gatesville ISD already has a ten cent rate hike coming this year. We just can’t handle another one,” said Coryell County resident Steve Buckner.
Some say the $30.9 million bond is too much for taxpayers. However, officials say the current jail is overcrowded, and the county is losing money housing inmates in other counties.

Harrison, Marion jails back in compliance


MARSHALL, Texas - Both Harrison and Marion counties have been removed from the Texas Minimum Jail Standards non-compliance list after being re-inspected.
Both jails were initially cited for minor issues, mainly tied to paperwork. The counties were among 14 other counties on the list. Harrison County was cited for a total of four issues; Marion was docked for three.
Harrison County Sheriff Brandon “BJ” Fletcher reported this week that he just received the certificate, reflecting that the jail is now in compliance.
“As you know we went through a jail inspection a while back and had a couple of rocks in the road that we had to fix,” he reported to the commissioners court. “I received our certificate (for) our passing jail inspection.

>> they are investigating. how long do they think it's going to take and hacht this jail -- hasn't this jail been under scrutiny before? >> there's not only cause for for the justice department to take a look at this funny. this jail has been the center of controversy in the past. in 2012 after an inmate hanged himself with a bed sheet. the jail was cited by the texas commission of jail standards on not checking on the inmate every hour like they're supposed to. again, in 2013 an inmate escaped, and they were again cited for not locking the doors of the facility. even more so than just the facility i shared with glen smith who himself is under scrutiny. he was fired for allegations of racism and that was before he became the waller county
