Jail or Black Hole? Hard to Tell

The Dallas County jail has been plagued by problems since the county began using a new computer system to keep track of inmates. Numerous inmates have been held past their release dates. These include people who pled out and were held past the end of their sentence, people whose cases were dismissed or no-billed by the grand jury, people who posted bond, and people who were arrested and never charged. The county commissioner responsible for the new system, however, maintains there have only been minor problems, and is not inclined to apologize to any of those wrongly incarcerated. I'm guessing if he were wrongfully held in the jail for months, lost his job, and was evicted from his housing, he wouldn't think these were minor problems.
