The North Tower Detention Facility as part of the Lew Sterrett Justice Center photographed, on Tuesday, Aug. 16, 2022, in Dallas, TX.As the Dallas County jail inches toward capacity, officials have focused on addressing those who have been arrested on felony charges that have not been filed, which is about 15% of the jail population.
