A few odds and ends, just to clear my browser tabs:

I agree, to an extent. But when the city was demanding to have a disproportionate share of control and the police chief in charge at the time of some of the worst crime lab scandals has turned up like a bad penny on Houston's city council, you can't really blame the county for wanting to keep control. Houston couldn't get its act together before, and has shown no real inclination to change since.
And so I will pay for both a county and a city facility. Feuding pols picking pockets in perpetuity.
"The feds have floated a plan to aggressively limit prison phone calls."
Uh, you meant the phone *costs*.
Phone calls are already limited by budget!
