While up at the capitol Friday on other business, I ran into some Harris County folks - including former Judge and current jail czarina Caprice Cosper, as well as Alan Bernstein and Dr. Mike Seale (who Grits readers may recall graciously led me on an extensive jail tour last year), along with a small gaggle of others - who'd come to Austin to brief legislative staff on the effects, in particular, of mental health cuts on the criminal justice system and the Harris County Jail.

I took notes on stuff I noticed as the game went along.
