An advisory panel found that Waller County Jail needs a major overhaul including a new facility, better mental health screenings for inmates and a body cam policy for officers.
A new report calls for the Texas jail that 28-year-old Sandra Bland died in last summer to be shut down and a new facility with more space be rebuilt to take its place.
According to Houston NBC affiliate KPRC, an advisory board consisted of defense attorneys and a former Congressman reviewed Waller Country Jail, where Bland was found hanging with a trash bag tied around her neck, and concluded that the facility needs major changes if it plans to be more affective for the community.
