AUSTIN, Texas — Harris County Sheriff Ed Gonzalez said it’s time to take a serious look at investing in corrections infrastructure in one of the nation’s largest counties, including a new jail in one of the most rapidly growing areas in Texas.

Gonzalez commands the state’s largest sheriff’s department whose jail is out of compliance with the state and is experiencing an inmate boom.

“I do believe that it’s worth seriously considering it. I think our population’s grown, the buildings are outdated, the facilities are very limited in terms of programming that we can offer,” Gonzalez said.

Gonzalez wants a complex that will be able to house any future criminal justice disruptions, provide rehabilitation services, job training and adult education.
