An issue that has been seen for years is the overcrowding of jails in the city. The mayor is currently looking at a warehouse near downtown that could be used as a place for people to go who have been arrested for public intoxication in order for them to sober up.

Police in Houston make nearly 60,000 arrests a year for this charge. Although it will take money to build the center, the mayor believes that it will save the city millions in the long run. The Sobering Center is set to open by the end of 2012.

“We’re not taking away the option of jail from the officers. Sticking someone that is probably intoxicated, we know there’s gonna be folks that over overly combative. We don’t want them assaulting the staff at The Sobering Center, so if that’s the situation, jail is always going to be an alternative,” Houston Police Department Lt. Michael Lee said.

Rice University released information regarding the most diverse regions in the country based on census data gathered from 1990, 2000, and 2010. The data shows that two different suburbs are even more ethically diverse than the actual city of Houston. Pearland and Missouri City are the most diverse suburbs in the region.

The data also revealed that segregation is still high in Houston, regardless of the overall decline in the past 20 years. Researchers believe this is caused by old housing in the city, poverty, and big gatherings of minority groups in certain areas.
