Federal monitors are due in Dallas Monday -- for a week-long look at the county jails.
Three years ago, a Justice Department probe found that inadequate staff and other shortcomings led to deaths and injuries to inmates. Since then, thecounty has been under a federal order to improve health care and sanitation -- and to increase staffing.
Next week's evaluation is the first of the semi-annual inspections the jails can expect for the next several years.
