GRAYSON COUNTY, Tex. – After the Grayson County Jail failed its annual state inspection last week, repairs are now in the works. Stephanie Brletic has the details.

The three-day inspection took place last week, and most of the problems were minor, classified as “preventative maintenance.” Shower leaks, ceiling cracks, and loose tiles are the primary problems. Officials say those issues are being fixed right now.

Since receiving the inspection results on Friday, dozens of inmates have been moved out of the jail temporarily and taken to other facilities so repair work could be taken care of quickly.

Sheriff Keith Gary tells us the most severe problem on the report was a non-functional fire detection system.

Gary did not give an exact timeframe for completion of the work, but he says once everything is finished the Texas Commission on Jail Standards will be notified.
