Texas SB2289 mandates county jails to report annually on prisoners confined in out-of-state jails due to overcrowding.

Texas SB2289 requires each county jail to submit an annual report to the Texas Commission on Jail Standards by February 1. The report must detail the number of prisoners confined in out-of-state jails during the previous year due to overcrowding and the number of prisoners who died while in such confinement. The commission will then summarize these reports and submit them to the governor, lieutenant governor, speaker of the house, and relevant legislative committees by March 1 each year.
