Notes on the record
- The jail, the district court and the circuit court all sit in the same complex at 1201 Mesa Drive.
These three offices decide who sits in a cell in Converse County and what it costs the people who live here. Nationally, almost 77% of the people who died in local jails in 2019 had not been convicted of anything, and suicide was the leading single cause of those deaths (Bureau of Justice Statistics, Mortality in Local Jails, 2000–2019).
