Cameron County jails back in compliance with the state
· KRGV (NBC 5)
Cameron County jails have regained compliance with state standards after being previously cited for overcrowding. The announcement came following a recent inspection by the Texas Commission on Jail Standards. In April, the jails were over capacity by 47 inmates, prompting the sheriff's office to collaborate with local judges and the district attorney to expedite court processes. To manage the inmate population, the jails stopped accepting nonviolent offenders. Sheriff Manuel Treviño praised the efforts of his staff, stating that their dedication played a crucial role in resolving the overcrowding issue.
