- According to a North Texas law firm, the individual who died in custody was not included in the report. More likely than not, this special investigation was related to the custodial death of a 38-year-old man in the Beaumont correctional facility. The inmate was discovered on the floor and in distress about 12 hours after being jailed. He died at approximately 3:40 p.m. on August 7, 2017.
TJP's Policy Fellow, Kevin Garrett, has identified this as at least two Jefferson County deaths in a two-year span. Read about the most recent death in custody here.
