(Before someone gripes that she shouldn't be on the web, TYC kids, like adults in TDCJ, don't have internet access, so for every inmate blog you see, someone on the outside is helping them put up their posts, which are invariably sent back and forth, with much delay, relatively speaking, via snail mail.)Check out the links above for more.

DMS represents about half the number of TDCJ releases compared to parole, but it's still a large number.By my calculations, if DMS approval rates in 2008 had been the same as in 2004, the parole board would have released 1,450 more prisoners. [read post]

(Offenders already get a packet of information from TDCJ when they get "off paper," and the bill would have included notice of voting eligibility and a voter registration card in the packet.)That insensible decision, IMO, was made purely out of political calculation, hoping to reduce the number of (supposed) new Democratic voters at the margins.
