I'll also grant that what you describe could get worse because the <A HREF="http://gritsforbreakfast.blogspot.com/2005/07/texas-prisons-overflowing-now-what.html" REL="nofollow">prisons are full</A> and <A HREF="http://gritsforbreakfast.blogspot.com/2005/10/perry-vetoes-leave-prisons-packed.html" REL="nofollow">Rita forced</A> emptying two prison units into rented county beds. So I don't discount what you're saying at all.<BR/><BR/>Still, the <A HREF="http://gritsforbreakfast.blogspot.com/2005/09/why-are-texas-county-jails-overcrowded.html" REL="nofollow">pretrial numbers</A> are much bigger, and local officials can actually do something about them without lobbying the state or going to court. <BR/><BR/>Thanks for the comments!

Add that to the number of inmates sitting in jail awaiting transfer to state prisons, up to 45 days, and you have an even bigger percentage in county jails that are technically the state's responsibility. Its a problem that was worse before the litigation you mentioned and will likely result in more litigation as county jails approach their capacities. Most are at 90% or higher.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8597101.post-1129894562937002682005-10-21T06:36:00.000-05:002005-10-21T06:36:00.000-05:00Wow, that wasn't clear from the article.

It sounded like TAC was demanding that inmates be qualified for Medicaid, looking for federal and state subsidies for their general pops, not just parole violators. <BR/><BR/>After the state lost some litigation a few years back, it was my understanding that folks now wait a lot less time, on average, in local jails pending transport to prisons. But according to the state jail pop report from the commisison on jail standards, about 600 of Bexar's 4,231 inmates on Sept. 1 were parole violators, so that's not a small number. Statewide, less than 6,000 of the state's 71,047 jail inmates on 9-1-05 were parole violators.Gritsforbreakfasthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10152152869466958902noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8597101.post-1129847582660034002005-10-20T17:33:00.000-05:002005-10-20T17:33:00.000-05:00The unfunded mandate that TAC is talking about is ...The unfunded mandate that TAC is talking about is the uncompensated healthcare for inmates that counties are holding for the state. Either parole violators awaiting hearings or transport to prisons. These aren't county inmates and shouldn't be a burden to the county taxpayer.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
