Annual Inquiry of Detention Facilities – Part 2: Jail Facilities

The jury describes January–February 2026 visits to the Main Jail, Todd Road Jail and Juvenile Facilities. Generally favorable observations coexist with concerns including Main Jail roof-exercise access and a juvenile interview-room intercom failure. Limited voluntary interviews do not establish every detained person’s experience. Facility counts and health-unit bed figures refer to different passages and are not combined into one current capacity. This inquiry has no formal findings or recommendations and no requested final response. A tour observation is not independently verified remediation or continuing compliance.
