State inspectors who toured the Westmoreland County Jail have found several deficiencies.
The Trib reports that state inspectors identified housing, medical and health services, sanitation and maintenance issues in their inspection. Some of the issues included: A missing faucet handle on a bathroom sink, improper inventory of needles placed on a medical cart, Incorrect count of handcuffs, leg shackles, belts and other restraining devices throughout the facility, poorly tracked key cards and access devices that are shared by staffers, missing tools, dirty cells, a missing light cover, and exposed fluorescent bulbs and wires in an inmate restroom in the facility’s laundry area.
Warden Bryan Kline said he was taking the issues seriously and that each issue has already been corrected.
