On Monday, while still locked away in jail, detectives say Jeramiah Williams left a bible study group to brutally beat and sexually assault the veteran Harris County Sheriff’s Deputy. He then returned alone to his cell.

When the woman was found, she was unrecognizable.

Mr. Williams has been incarcerated for raping two joggers in the park.

Harris County jail is a huge jail, the third-largest in the nation. I know someone who works there. This astonishing story is true. How is this possible?

Are reasonable people in control here? Or are we no longer able to manage our infrastructure?
