LUBBOCK, Texas (KCBD) - More inmates are heading to other jails across the state due to overcrowding in the Lubbock County Detention Center. On Monday, Lubbock County Commissioners agreed to allocate more funds to find these inmates beds, however, Lubbock County Judge Curtis Parrish stated the current situation will not change anytime soon. 'We are just spreading our inmates out all over West Texas, and even some into central Texas, just so we can find beds to house them,' said Parrish. Overcrowding is something the Lubbock County Detention Center has been battling for years.
