Ct. R. 10 ............................................................................................................... 25 iii To the Honorable Samuel A. Alito, Jr., Associate Justice of the Supreme Court and Circuit Justice for the Fifth Circuit: Plaintiffs-Applicants, two inmates at a geriatric state prison unit in Texas, filed the underlying action to require prison officials to provide safeguards against further COVID-19 contamination in a facility that has already experienced at least one COVID-19 related death. After an evidentiary hearing, the district court found that Plaintiffs made a sufficient showing of deliberate indifference to support a narrowly tailored preliminary injunction necessary to preserve the status quo and protect the lives and health of these elderly inmates. On April 22, 2020, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit stayed that preliminary injunction over Plaintiffs’ objection and in contravention of the district court’s factual findings. The COVID-19 pandemic is a serious public health crisis shown to spread in confined conditions at an alarming rate. Every day that the state refuses to implement the measures set forth in the injunction exposes Plaintiffs to serious and irreparable harm from COVID-19. This Court’s intervention is urgently needed. Applicants respectfully request that the Fifth Circuit’s stay be vacated. 1 STATEMENT While most of the country observes social distancing and remains in their homes to keep safe from COVID-19, one highly at-risk population for contraction of the virus has been all but forgotten: those in our Nation’s prisons. This case concerns the most basic human right—the ability to protect oneself from grave danger. Plaintiffs Laddy Valentine (age 69) and Richard King (age 73) are elderly inmates in the Pack Unit, a prison in Grimes County, Texas for geriatric prisoners— a high-risk population for COVID-19. Plaintiffs filed a putative class action alleging violations of their and similarly situated inmates’ constitutional rights under the Eighth Amendment and statutory rights under the Americans with Disabilities Act. Ex. 5, Complaint. Plaintiffs allege their rights are violated by Defendants’ willful and deliberately indifferent and discriminatory conduct in failing to protect inmates housed in the Pack Unit who face severe illness or death from exposure to COVID- 19. Id. 1. According to the complaint, Defendants are subjectively aware and “act with deliberate indifference to the serious risk COVID-19 poses to the inmates in their custody and care, including the numerous medically

  • 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.

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”).

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.
