"In the two weeks leading up to the discovery of nearly 400 cases, numbers reported by TCJS rose from 47 to 92. Those 398 total cases were reported the day after Sheriff Omar Lucio lost his primary runoff race, on July 15."
The Brownsville Herald
An inmate at one of Cameron County’s three jails has died of COVID-19, a report from the Texas Commission on Jail Standards confirmed.
COVID-19 reports are updated by TCJS daily. The document, published on Aug.13, indicated zero active positive cases among inmates, no tests pending, no inmates in isolation, no jailers with active positive cases, and no jailers quarantined. No custodial death report had been filed with the Texas Attorney General’s office as of press time on Monday.
The Cameron County Sheriff’s Office referred inquiries about the death to the county’s legal division, which did not respond to a request for information by press time on Monday.
Last month, 398 inmates tested positive after the department’s physician asked officials to test every single inmate.
Reports confirmed that on July 1, the department requested help from the Texas Department of Emergency Management to test inmates at the downtown jail facility in Brownsville, then at the Carrizales-Rucker Detention Center in Olmito.
In the two weeks leading up to the discovery of nearly 400 cases, numbers reported by TCJS rose from 47 to 92. Those 398 total cases were reported the day after Sheriff Omar Lucio lost his primary runoff race, on July 15.
The high number of cases prompted a county-wide jail lockdown through the end of July. According to TCJS reports, the spread appears to have been managed, though the department issued no statements or updates on the status of the inmates.

The criminal element gets NO sympathy! He was there for a good reason.
El Paya Jerry belongs to QNON, juan. He's faked you out, bro.
paper pusher is pals to the big hunchos so don't expect anything to get better expect it to get worst in that area...
CONTINUATION OF HIDING COUNTS AND THIS WILL ONLY BE THE BEGINNING.
Now read los mamones start insulting everybody...
Please hurry Eric and assume the Sheriff's office. I know that with your profound knowledge and experience in law enforcement you will cast out COVID-19 from our jails and heal our inmates.
What is it? Oh yes, "If you can't do the time, don't do the crime.". Bad Karma to be in the Iron House during Covid time, but that is just the way of it. My sympathy factor for Jail Birds is very low, but then again, I have never been one.
Racist McHale already favoring the white guy in Phil Cowen's race. Predictable.
The facts remain that Sheriff Lucio hid the truth for his campaign and election. Holding to facts and risking the lives of inmates and employees. As it is the Sheriff holds no respect or dignity after his loss and supporting a Republican candidate for Sheriff who is pending sentencing on a crimal case. The Sheriff has lost his grip on reality or is too dumb to blindly believe his current administrators that let him down on a downward spiral.
El Paya Jerry simepre le va a sus blancos. Cowens y Cowens y Cowens. Es lo que es, el guey!
Not good, but it would be more dangerous to let them all out in the public at this point. It's safe to assume all the inmates inside the facility have been exposed to corona.
EN la Lavada sale TODO..
INCLUDING EVERYONE.
ERIC IS NOT A SAVIOR..
BUT HE WILL BE OUR
S H E R I F F !
with covid 19 test we could release some of the inmates after a quarantine period outside in tents.
Just ask him how many felony arrests has he made? NONE NADA NUNCA and if he did he wouldn't know what to do a boy scout would know MORE
The Sheriff learned from our lying POTUS. Disgraceful.
savior que se cree Dios? pinche pendejo
@10:52 thanks for the laugh during this pandemic I hadn’t had a good laugh in a while profound experience what a joke if you believe wearing a badge for a picture is profound then you must be right.
Los del el depa del Sheriffe andan bien riatas con el guero Chamber. Dicen que tienen juntas con los reyna y el almanza de besaculos.
The favorite employees at the Sheriff's Office are unhappy after the loss. Some suggested change of careers others opted to support the Republican candidate as is the Reyna's choice. They will seek to support what the Reyna's want to remain in the favorite graces. That only means that the Republican candidate will not make changes and will keep the favorites in the same positions which have caused all the chaos in the department.
We have a mind reader at: August 19, 2020 at 12:16 PM pendejo
We have a kiss-ass.. @6:35am Que no te duela!
para el pendejo at: 12:16pm and 2:25pm
El lastimado lloron assuming the gringo will win and that is good but will el coco eric keep you ass? He will if YOU kiss his ass. If we hear from you it will only mean that you did kissed his ass. Have at it guey ASS KISSER!
@4:57am. Like you kiss the Reyna's ass.. Lol.
OSHA Should be Notified Immediately, That Lt.Sanchez making guards go into the dead inmates cell to clean up is not correct. A special company should be brought in that specializes in cleaning. What he did is putting guards life at risk. But he's king of the jail and gets away with it.
Lt. Sanchez is related to Major George Garcia and has continously gotten his way with no repercussions. He even states that the Reyna's can't touch him because of George.
Well,George the Rat Garcia has Retired again. I wonder why?.And all Head and no ASS George Hdz.gets Promoted to Major .Wow how low can they go. Nobody ever went from Sgt.to Major in a couple of years.The biggest fake in the world.But he knows how to suck Real good. Even in Church.I wonder why his wife left him. To be continued.
You sound like your ASS is in pain over this? What bothers you the fact that you don’t have what it takes? Someone has NO BALLS and is too much of a P$$$$ and hides behind a PC.
Look who's talking shit. You just answered Pendejo. Are you hiding behind a PC. What a Morran. And Your probably Educated and working for 15.00 an He. Pendejo.
