"Everyone in that jail should be escorted, including me," Sandy said. "No one is escorted, not even volunteers are escorted."A historic number of deaths set off safety concerns at the Harris County Jail.

"So, the ones with the better behavior are the ones that are shipped out."These employees say disabled older inmates and veterans are the most often victimized and beaten.
