– People who should be out of jail aren’t, and people who shouldn’t be are, an allegation made by one local defense attorney.
“People who should have been released that weren’t, and there’s some significant information supporting that people who should not have been released are now free on the streets, and the computers still show they’re in jail and they’re out,” he said.That official said the new system is “for the most part working as planned.” The official did not elaborate on the delays that were still affecting the Bexar County Jail.
