Jail visitation canceled amid Emergency Disaster Declaration

Jail visitation canceled amid Emergency Disaster Declaration

Wed, 03/18/2020 - 4:00am

On March 13, Governor Abbott issued an Emergency Disaster Declaration for the state of Texas. Texas Commission on Law Enforcement (TCOLE) regularly requires jails, prisons, and holding facilities to have a written plan for visitation per 37 Texas Admin Code 291.4(2), but according to the Camp County Sheriff’s office, TCOLE requested Governor Abbott’s office grant a suspension of the rule given current circumstances. Governor Abbott’s office approved this suspension, and as a result, Camp County Jail will not allow visitation until the Disaster Declaration is no longer in effect. COURTESY PHOTO
