HARRIS COUNTY, Texas — Calling the Harris County Jail a "ticking time bomb," County Judge Lina Hidalgo said about 1,000 "non-violent" inmates will be released.
Hidalgo said this drastic action is necessary so they can practice social distancing to stop help stop the spread of coronavirus inside the jail. It could be three or four days before people leave the downtown jail. Hidalgo said there will be a screening process that includes the District Attorney and pre-trial services, but it’s no doubt a process that comes with plenty of controversy.
