Background and Discussion:
Harris County’s jail facilities are operating at or near capacity and are not equipped to support the increasing needs of the population. The aging facilities require significant attention to meet current operational demands, and the increasing complexity of detainee medical and mental health needs further challenges existing capacity. These conditions highlight the urgent need to assess carceral infrastructure to ensure safe, secure, and rehabilitative environments for staff and detainees. Following a solicitation and evaluation, CGL Management Group, LLC., was selected to develop recommendations to address the County’s long-term capacity needs, evaluate facility conditions and gaps, and plan for modernized carceral infrastructure.
Expected Impact:
This amendment is to add additional scope requirements to examine how court case processing practices influence jail population dynamics, adds additional resources to support the engagement of local partners, and increases the number of engagements activities.
