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. -

Jasuta RETURN TO TABLE OF CONTENTS According to figures gleaned from the official website site of the Texas Department of Criminal Justice (“TDCJ”), Texas currently has 114 facilities, some operated by private contractors, but the majority operated by the State (see Table “A” attached hereto), which are capable of housing approximately 164,000 inmates. As the current Texas legislative session winds down, “inquisitive minds” wonder if there will be an effort by the Legislature to cut some long terms costs by closing some of the current units. In an article in the Fort-Worth Star Telegram (“Lawmakers Look to Close Private Prison in Mineral Wells”), writer Dave Montgomery detailed discussions in the Senate Finance Committee on the question of whether the State should close the privately run prison in Mineral Wells. -
