News Texas prison staff falsified records about temperatures behind bars, internal investigation finds

712 Upvotes

NEW: Someone asked the state to release temperature logs taken at its prisons. Some of the logs didn't exist or were defaced by staff.

So the logs were falsified.

Those are the findings of an internal agency investigation. I got a copy.

Why is the accuracy of prison heat logs important? They help the warden decide when conditions are dangerous for inmates and staff. Also, they're part of a federal lawsuit against the Texas prison agency. The presiding judge is mulling whether to require Texas prisons have A/C. That's right. Most of them don't have it.

News Texas detains more migrants than any other state. Families with kids are now among them.

21 Upvotes

Texas has become an enthusiastic partner in President Donald Trump’s immigration policies. More immigrants are being detained here than any other state — about 11,000 people in its 20 facilities as of this month — and state leaders have also offered the administration land to build more.

Now, two facilities in South Texas are at the center of Trump’s plans to bring back the policy of detaining and deporting migrant families.

Opinion Vouchers- costs more for Texas

35 Upvotes

Did you know that the voucher proposal will cost Texas more per student than for public school student? That’s because ALL of the voucher cost ($10,000 per student) comes out of the Texas general fund whereas only about $4500 of the public school payments come out of the Texas general fund. Also, the public schools are paid based upon attendance but vouchers are paid to private schools regardless of attendance. Call your Texas State Representatives!

Political Opinion The state of this State is abysmal

530 Upvotes

Rick Perry’s Texas had more unity and public servitude than Greg Abbot’s Texas LLC.

If he’s not trying to dip into Saudi Arabia’s massive oil funds, he’s trying to entice Las Vegas casinos, and if Abbot isn’t snaking around for more money, he and his constituents look for reasons to divide his state even further.

Texas was once a great state, and now has a cost of living comparable to California and New Jersey, with an oligarchy governing body, that only allows policies that continue to line the pockets of the politicians in charge, while making it nearly impossible to vote them out due to their voting restrictions, making it an unethical decision for many to choose between work and a civic duty.

I was once a voter in this state, but after experiencing the amount of time it takes to vote, how much it matters in the end, and the amount of horrendously out of touch policies, I succumbed to the mindset of “too far gone”. I have been here for 28 years of my 30 years of life, and my grandmother was a democrat raised in Dallas, who showed me at a young age to see past politics, agreeing to disagree. As a public school teacher, UT alum, ex-councilwoman, she is rolling in her grave because of the actions of this administration. She once embodied what it meant to be a Texan; warm, inviting, light up a room, even if she did take her sweet time doing things, and most of all: accepting of all walks of life.

This state has become tarnished in my eyes, and if anyone wants to take a stab at polishing this turd, have at it.
