Top Dallas County leaders were called to City Hall Monday to explain what some have called a capacity crisis at the county jail.
“That’s not a large number for us but when you’re talking about public safety anyone may be that unacceptable person and we understand that. We’re in constant communication with our law enforcement agencies,” Creuzot.
“We don’t know if the case is set. We don’t know who the defense lawyer is and all of those things. We don’t even know who to talk to. So, if I can’t see who the defense lawyer is, the problem for the defense is they can’t see where their client is. If they’ve been appointed, they don’t know,” Creuzot said.Meanwhile, Creuzot said he is also promoting lower-level drug, alcohol and mental health cases being sent directly to treatment instead of jail.
The county’s top prosecutor said he has received support for this approach from police chiefs of multiple cities. The county officials said hundreds of beds at the jail are off limits for renovation and air conditioning repair so state approval is being sought for hundreds of temporary beds in another area that has been unused.
