There will be a renewed push next year and it's got a decent chance, not the least of which because it would save a lot of money in TDCJ's budget and solve problems created for county jails and juvie detention centers under the federal Prison Rape Elimination Act.Gritsforbreakfasthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10152152869466958902noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8597101.post-68845291895404442552016-08-28T09:08:58.452-05:002016-08-28T09:08:58.452-05:00Earlier this year, and I believe over the last few...Earlier this year, and I believe over the last few years the Supreme Court has ruled against the automatic treatment of people under 18 as adults in the penal system, specifically making it retroactive. Do you know when Texas will change the automatic treatment of 17 year olds as adults? Have law suits been brought forth against the state? How many people already incarcerated and sentenced would be impacted with this change? Any update would be great!

And of course, it was an R-led Legislature and governor which decarcerated juvie prisons and decriminalized education code offenses, etc..

And why aren't we talking more about replicating those successes with large-scale decarceration and a reduced justice-system footprint on the adult side?<br />................................................................<br /><br />Because that would be contrary to the "tough on crime" policies which republicans have championed since the beginning of time. <br /><br />As informed as you are, Scott, sometimes you appear quite Magoo..Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
