In October 2019, the Texas Civil Rights Project (TCRP) released a report titled “Torture By Any Other Name: Solitary Confinement in Texas,” which showed that (as of May 2019) there were 4,165 inmates in long-term solitary confinement at the Lone StarState. The number of inmates being held in these harsh conditions is “more than all other states and the federal Department of Corrections combined.”
Consequences of Gang Membership
Many join gangs hoping to be protected. That’s a false hope. Gang rivalries and coercion fuel violence. This puts your loved ones in prison at risk and can jeopardize the safety of your family outside of prison. Other negative consequences are:
- No contact visits allowed;
- The number of allowed visits may decrease;
- It is not permitted to participate in academic activities;
- may not participate in any professional activity;
- TDCJ does not consider emergency absences;
- TDCJ gives no credits for diligent participation;
- No work allowed;
- restricted movement;
- accommodation in administrative separation;
- State and Local Law Enforcement Agencies Notified of Release; and
- Might affect parole.
