Comal County Commissioners on Thursday accepted a deal to board excess Coryell County offenders inside the countyâs new lockup â putting additional pressure on federal authorities to finalize a similar arrangement before space runs out.
Sheriff Mark Reynolds said Coryell County Sheriff Scott Williams called last Thursday after the Texas Commission on Jail Standards ruled that Coryellâs 92-bed facility in Gatesville had exceeded inmate occupancy limits.
The countyâs new 582-bed facility was 61% full on Thursday. Inside were 71 of a possible 96 Hays County offenders and the first 10 from Coryell County, which hopes to send 40 more. Comal County is charging both counties $65 per inmate per day â which is $20 per diem above the average cost it paid to board overflow offenders in outside facilities.
