Special Volunteers are individuals that participate in volunteer program activities but are not approved volunteers. Special Volunteers are limited to 4 visits with an approved volunteer. Ex-offenders can be a special volunteer 1 year after their release Other volunteer opportunities are available such as correspondence, literature, conference planning and can be done while waiting to get approved by TDCJ. Approved Volunteers have completed the volunteer application and attended the 4 hour VOLUNTEER TRAINING ORIENTATION and have been approved by TDCJ Volunteer Services Requirements for Approved Volunteers must have 1 year of sobriety, if participating in a Substance Abuse Treatment Program such as AA, NA, CA, be 18 years of age, have a clear criminal history for at least 18 months - meaning no felony charges or convictions for 18 months and, if been to prison, been out for a period of at least 18 months at the time of the application. IF DOING A SPECIAL ORIENTATION TRAINING, LIKE THE ONE THAT ONE OF OUR CFC COMMITTEES DO, THEN YOU CAN FILL OUT THE VOLUNTEER TRAINING APPLICAION AND DO THE 4 HOUR ORIENTATION ALL AT ONCE. If doing a Regular Orientation Training, which is one that is held throughout the year at the different TDCJ units,(see above) then you will need to complete the Volunteer Application online or print the application and mail it in. TDCJ will review and upon approval will send you a letter saying you are approved. Then you can go to one of the Regular Orientation Trainings. You can get this form online at the TDCJ Volunteer Services Rehabilitation Programs Division at tdcj.state.tx.us/divisions/rpd/rpd_volunteer.html People on probation or parole may become an approved volunteer provided they have a clear criminal background for the previous 18 months and have a letter from their PO. This letter, generally, is just to acknowledge probation or parole officer knows person going in. Ex-offenders can be a special volunteer 1 year after their release or participate in the Partners Program where they have to be out 6 months and go in with an approved volunteer. If a relative, friend, victim or enemy is incarcerated volunteers are required to acknowledge it on their application. Volunteers cannot go into the facilities where relatives, friends, victims or enemies are assigned but they can go into other facilities. If someone wants to be an approved volunteer and has a clear record the process typically takes 2 or 3 weeks. If there is a criminal history, then, additional information or support letters or possibly dispositions for crimes, etc…will be required and will require additional processing time. .

  • Dear Human Rights Defender
    Dear Human Rights Defender, I’m writing to you because I think you understand that securing basic human rights has always hinged on the success of daily battles for civil liberties and human dignity. I think you would also agree that human rights and civil liberties are only truly present when they are available to all people, especially the most vulnerable among us. I founded the Human Rights Defense Center and our monthly magazine, Prison Legal News, on these principles, and as a result the organization has focused its efforts on responding to the constant flow of injustices stemming from America’s jails and prisons. As the Russian novelist Fyodor Dostoevsky said, “The degree of civilization in a society can be judged by entering its prisons.” That doesn’t bode well for this country, where we have 5% of the world’s population and 25% of the world’s prisoners. With more than 2.4 million people in U.S. prisons, jails and other detention facilities, and approximately another 5 million on probation or parole, this country has been faced with an unprecedented rate of mass incarceration, the likes of which the world has never seen. It is what some have called a Fill out the attached slip to receive a sample issue of PLN! “Nation Inside”— others have called it “The New Jim Crow.” More than 60 percent of prisoners in the Nation Inside identify as African American or Latino men, despite those demographics making up only 15 percent of the male population in the U.S. It is difficult to overstate the impact of institutional racism and classism in the criminal justice system.

  • Texas Department of Corrections: 30 Years of Progress
    If you have issues viewing or accessing this file contact us at NCJRS.gov. ____~____ ~:-:'----;-- - ~-- ----;--;:-'l~. - Texas Department of Corrections: 30 Years of Progress ,. In 1967, the Department published a report, Texas Department of Corrections: 20 Years of Progress. That report was largely the work of Mr. Richard C. Jones, former Assistant Director for Treatment. The report that follows borrowed hea-vily and in many cases directly from Mr. Jones' efforts. This is but another example of how we continue to profit from, and, hopefully, build upon the excellent wC';-h of those preceding us. Texas Department of Corrections: 30 Years of Progress NCJRS dAN 061978 ACQUISIT10i~:.j OFFICE OF THE GOVERNOR DOLPH BRISCOE STATE CAPITOL GOVERNOR AUSTIN, TEXAS 78711 My Fellow Texans: All Texans owe a debt of gratitude to the Honorable H. H. Coffield. former Chairman of the Texas Board of Corrections, who recently retired after many years of dedicated service on the Board; to the present members of the Board; to Mr. W. J. Estelle, Jr., Director of the Texas Department of Corrections; and to the many people who work with him in the management of the Department. Continuing progress has been the benchmark of the Texas Department of Corrections over the past thirty years. Proposed reforms have come to fruition through the careful and diligent management p~ovided by successive administ~ations. The indust~ial and educational p~ograms that have been initiated have resulted in a substantial tax savings for the citizens of this state and one of the lowest recidivism rates in the nation.
