An investigation has been launched by the US Department of Justice. It will examine whether a county has provided adequate conditions for people held in a jail. The jail in question has faced allegations of poor conditions, including overcrowding and infestations.
The Justice Department's inquiry is expected to focus on the facility's conditions. This investigation is separate from another one.
Further details about the investigation are available, including the types of problems that have been documented at the jail, such as mold and mildew issues.
