Jury-mandated jail upgrade debated by Texas commissioners
County leaders weigh whether to modify the existing jail or build a new facility to meet court orders. Public Works Director C Jud son Shook says a new jail would take three years and about 9.4 million to add floors and a roof recreation area, with 1,957 beds needed by 1977. Some officials push for federal standards over Article 5115, while funding options include bond issues, revenue sharing, and a 350000 grant proposal from the Texas Criminal Justice Council.
