Шериф округа Бексар сообщил о прохождении исправительного центра ежегодной проверки штата

BEXAR COUNTY, Texas – State inspectors visited the Bexar County Adult Detention Center earlier this month and gave the facility a passing score, the Bexar County Sheriff’s Office announced Wednesday. Four inspectors from the Texas Commission on Jail Standards arrived at the jail unannounced for its annual review between Aug. 18 to Aug. 19, according to the sheriff’s office. The facility’s operations, maintenance and inmate care protocols were inspected. A BCSO spokesperson said the jail went through “a rigorous evaluation.” The annual visit came weeks after Bexar County commissioners heard public concerns about the facility and supported efforts to improve medical services and healthcare provided at the jail. The Aug. 4 Bexar County Commissioner Court meeting followed an inmate death July 15. Jessell Constancio, 49, was the seventh inmate who has died in BCSO custody this year, according to a KSAT Investigates analysis. Constancio died at a hospital days after an apparent seizure at the jail, according to the sheriff’s office. BCSO told county commissioners earlier this month that some detainees had existing medical conditions at the time they were booked into jail, and those conditions were not always known to jail staff until there is some type of episode. The full report of the state jail inspectors’ visit will be available to the public within the next few days, the sheriff’s office said. “The men and women of the BCSO who work hard, literally 24/7/365 in the Bexar County Detention Center, deserve a huge amount of credit in yet another passed inspection,” Bexar County Sheriff Javier Salazar said in a news release. “We also thank our Commissioners’ Court, our partners in medical, maintenance and facilities for their ongoing support.” Read also:
