Dear Elected Officials of Texas,
We, the concerned citizens of Texas, are writing to express our grave concerns about the current state of the Texas Department of Criminal Justice (TDCJ). We believe that there is a pressing need for an external investigation to address the widespread abuse of power by officers, instances of favoritism, unprofessional conduct, and the ongoing issues with food and phone services that have been consistently brushed under the rug.
TDCJ is failing its duty to protect and serve the incarcerated population and the people of Texas. We urgently call for serious reforms and believe that the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and the Department of Justice (DOJ) should step in and take charge until necessary measures are put in place to rectify the situation.
We have been inundated with complaints from numerous inmates on a daily basis. It is important to note that these complaints are not repetitive; rather, they highlight the consistent issues that exist within the TDCJ. As concerned advocate, we find it perplexing that the administration fails to acknowledge the existence of a problem when it consistently receives the same complaints. We call upon you, as our elected officials, to recognize the seriousness of these complaints and take immediate action.
While we understand that inmates have committed crimes, it does not negate their status as human beings with inherent human rights. We firmly believe that these rights should be protected and respected within the TDCJ.
Most recently, we have received numerous complaints about Sergeant Gardner at the Connally Unity and Officer Tyler at the Hobby Unit. These individuals have been accused of abusing their power and dehumanizing inmates. Such behavior is unacceptable and cannot be tolerated within our prison system. We implore you to address these specific cases and ensure appropriate action is taken against those responsible.
It is evident that the TDCJ is not living up to its mission or its stated core values. This issue demands immediate attention and rectification. As elected officials, it is your duty to advocate for the well-being and fair treatment of all citizens, including those within our correctional facilities.
We ask for your commitment to launching an external investigation into the TDCJ. We need a thorough examination of the abuse of power, favoritism, unprofessional conduct, and the ongoing issues with food and phone services. It is crucial that transparency and accountability are upheld in order to rebuild the trust and confidence of the people of Texas in our criminal justice system. and rectifying the issues within the TDCJ. Texas deserves a prison system that upholds the principles of fairness, justice, and respect for human rights. Now is the time to act.
Thank you for your attention to this matter. We eagerly await your response and hope to see swift and effective action to reform the TDCJ.
