AUSTIN, Tx -- (DMJ) - Persistent problems at the Harris County Jail will cease only with the construction of a new facility, Sheriff Adrian Garcia said today after negotiating with state officials to keep the downtown lockup running despite its failure of a recent inspection. Garcia appeared before the state Commission on Jail Standards to outline plans to address the problems that prompted inspectors to fail the jail after a visit in April, including broken intercoms that cut off communication between deputies and 90 percent of inmates held on two floors of one building.
