CHEROKEE COUNTY, Texas (KLTV) - The Cherokee County Jail is no longer on the Texas Commission on Jail Standards list of non-compliant jails.
“I just want to thank all of my employees for all their hard work in getting us back into compliance,” said Sheriff Brent Dickson. “It’s hard to keep a facility the size of our jail in compliance.”
Dickson, who took over as the new Cherokee County sheriff back in September, said his office implemented several new programs to get the jail back in compliance. He said one of those is a jail maintenance crew that checks on compliance issues every day.
