Harris County Sheriff Ed Gonzalez was among current and former police chiefs, sheriffs, law-enforcement, and corrections officials from across the country who filed an amicus brief in support of the ODonnell litigation warning that unnecessary pretrial detention leads to more crime, not less, while also undermining communities and wasting taxpayer dollars. In this 2019 file photo, Gonzalez talks with a Navy veteran who was part of a program to target veterans in the Harris County jail with resources and services.
