Reforming Hays County’s criminal justice system pushed county commissioners earlier this month to establish a task force to prioritize ways to overhaul the process.
Hays County Judge Ruben Becerra said he prioritizes criminal justice reform for the county in an effort to streamline a process that is currently slow moving. That task force is part of a commission responsible for moving Becerra’s plan forward.
The commission is made up of 22 members including Hays County Pct. 1 Commissioner Debbie Ingalsbe, Pct. 3 Commissioner Lon Shell and Chief of Staff Alex Villalobos. Representatives from local law enforcement departments, the court system and other related criminal justice departments make up the commission as well.
