2010 Chaplaincy Dept. Monthly Reports
Texas Department of Criminal Justice Rehabilitation Programs Division Department Report CHAPLAINCY Manager III Department or Program Head: Phone #: Marvin Dunbar Bill Pierce and Richard Lopez (936) 437-4965 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. It is the policy of TDCJ to extend to offenders of all faiths, reasonable and equitable opportunities to pursue religious beliefs and participate in religious activities and programs that do not endanger the safe, secure and orderly operation of the Agency. Participation in all religious activities and attendance at religious services of worship is strictly voluntary. No employee, contractor or volunteer shall disparage the religious beliefs of any offender or compel any offender to make a change of religious preference. Chaplaincy services shall strive to assist offenders who desire to incorporate religious beliefs and practices into a process for positive change in personal behaviors by offering meaningful, rehabilitative religious programming as an important tool for successful reintegration into society. -
Agency Strategic Plan FY 2015
Texas Department of Criminal Justice FY 2015- 2019 Agency Strategic Plan Introduction As defined in the Agency Strategic Plan Instructions for Fiscal Years 2015-2019 issued jointly by the Governor’s Office of Budget, Planning and Policy (GOBPP) and the Legislative Budget Board (LBB), the following provides a brief narrative to the strategic planning process for state agencies: “In 1991, Texas initiated a comprehensive process of strategic planning for all state agencies within the executive branch of government. House Bill 2009, Seventy-second Legislature, Regular Session, 1991, authorized the process. This legislation established the requirements and time frame under which Texas completed its first planning cycle. House Bill 2009 was subsequently codified as Chapter 2056 of the Texas Government Code. In 1993, the Legislature amended Chapter 2056 of the Texas Government Code to consolidate certain planning requirements and to change the required planning horizon from six years to five years (i.e., the second year of the current biennium and the next two biennia). Agencies must complete and submit plans every two years; however, they may engage in planning on a continual basis and may adjust plans internally as changing conditions dictate. An agency’s strategic plan is a formal document that communicates its goals, directions, and outcomes to various audiences, including the Governor and the Legislature, client and constituency groups, the public, and the agency's employees. An agency’s strategic plan is often used as a starting point for developing the agency's budget structure." The Texas Department of Criminal Justice (TDCJ) Strategic Plan discusses goals and strategies to be accomplished in the next five years beginning with Fiscal Year 2015. -
