    Case 4:14-cv-01698 Document 412 Filed in TXSD on 05/09/16 Page 1 of 47 UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF TEXAS HOUSTON DIVISION KEITH COLE, JACKIE BRANNUM, RICHARD § KING, LAVAR SANTEE, FRED WALLACE, and § MARVIN RAY YATES, individually and on behalf § of those similarly situated, § CIVIL ACTION NO. Plaintiffs, § 4:14-cv-1698 § v. § § BRAD LIVINGSTON, in his official capacity, § ROBERTO HERRERA, in his official capacity, and § TEXAS DEPARTMENT OF CRIMINAL JUSTICE, § § Defendants. § SECOND AMENDED CLASS ACTION COMPLAINT Since 2011, at least twelve prisoners have died from heat stroke because of the sweltering temperatures inside buildings where the Texas Department of Criminal Justice houses inmates. Hundreds more have suffered heat-related illnesses, many of whom were among the elderly and disabled inmates housed at the Wallace Pack Unit. Despite this, TDCJ has done nothing to lower the temperatures inside the housing areas at the Pack Unit. As this inflicts needless suffering on prisoners, and exposes them – many of whom are sick, elderly, and disabled – to serious risk of harm, Plaintiffs ask the Court to enjoin TDCJ from continuing this dangerous practice. STATEMENT OF THE CASE 1. Plaintiffs, on behalf of themselves and those similarly situated, bring this lawsuit because the Texas Department of Criminal Justice (TDCJ) refuses to cool inmate housing areas, despite the cruel and dangerously hot indoor temperatures prisoners are forced to live in. Case 4:14-cv-01698 Document 412 Filed in TXSD on 05/09/16 Page 2 of 47 2. TDCJ operates the Wallace Pack Unit (“Pack Unit”). The Pack Unit is a medical and geriatric prison where the indoor inmate housing areas are not climate controlled with refrigerated air (commonly called “air conditioning”).

  • Texas Department of Criminal Justice Rehabilitation Programs Division Department Report August 2012
    Texas Department of Criminal Justice Rehabilitation Programs Division Department Report August 2012 CHAPLAINCY Manager III Department or Program Head: Phone #: Marvin Dunbar Bill Pierce and Richard Lopez (936) 437-3028 MISSION The mission of the Chaplaincy Department of the Texas Department of Criminal Justice (TDCJ) is to positively impact public safety and the reduction of recidivism through the rehabilitation and re-integration of adult felons into society. This is accomplished by the availability of comprehensive pastoral care, by the management of quality programming, and through the promotion of therapeutic religious community activities. It is the purpose of Chaplaincy to provide guidance and nurture to those searching for meaning in life and to those offenders who are in transition. Programs, activities, and community participation are prudently managed wherein individuals have an opportunity to pursue religious beliefs, reconcile relationships, and strengthen the nuclear family. AUTHORITY Administrative Directive: AD 07.30 (rev. 6) Chaplaincy services shall be provided within TDCJ operated units or contracted facilities in order to serve offenders who desire to practice elements of their religion.
