Not Fail-Safe in the Courthouse

I’ve heard several reports that when the power blinked out yesterday at the Harris County Criminal “Justice” Center all of the electronically actuated doors (including exits from holdover areas to courtrooms, and doors to fire stairs) locked.

That’ll make things really exciting when there’s a fire and a power outage at the same time.

    sctexas is correct. It was another sign of the CJC Apocalypse.

    Maybe that explains those four creepy-looking guys on horseback I saw on Market Square.

    Why hasn’t the HFD Fire Marshal addressed this? Who got paid so this building could pass inspection?
