At
Dallas Sidebar, Proximo, who works at the Dallas County DA's office, says
everyone is pulling together in Dallas to accomplish the Herculean (or perhaps
Sisyphian) task of reducing the jail population by 1,000 inmates in the next three months. (The Commission on Jail Standards has said they
won't let them take new prisoners after that unless guard-to-inmate ratios are lowered.) But it's ulitmately Sheriff Valdez's problem, he says, and she'll have to take responsibility for it. I offered a suggestion or two in the comments and encourage those interested to
go do the same.
