Ector County jail cleared by state after compliance issues
The Texas Commission on Jail Standards declared the Ector County Detention Center back in compliance on April 19 after an initial report in February citing seven violations. An inmate had been restrained 25.5 hours, and inspectors found missing justification notes and incomplete medical care. A follow up check revealed falsified rounds and an uninspected sprinkler system. Sheriff Mark Donaldson credited training and policy adherence, with two employees disciplined. County officials had previously contracted inmate housing in neighboring counties and approved a $1 million boost to detention services amid budget cuts.
