Fort Bend County approves pretrial inmate insurance MOU and intercounty jail services agreement
Summary
The county approved a memorandum of understanding to implement a pretrial inmate insurance program at no cost to Fort Bend County and an agreement with Colorado County for jail services to maintain necessary detention capacity.
The Fort Bend County Commissioners Court approved two items related to jail operations and pretrial services during its June 10 meeting, County Judge KP George said.
The court approved a memorandum of understanding to implement a pretrial inmate insurance program described in the recap as coming at no cost to Fort Bend County. Judge George said the program is intended to help manage resources responsibly.
Separately, the court approved an agreement with Colorado County to provide jail services as needed to ensure the county maintains necessary detention capacity and facilities. The spoken recap did not include contract terms, lengths, or the expected costs; those details were listed as not specified in the oral summary.
Officials said both items were approved to support operational efficiency and public safety. Administrative staff will follow up to execute agreements and clarify operational details.
