Yuu must remember that we have over 150,000 inmates in Texas and it is not possible to get input from very single inmate, so obviously what was submitted was a cross-section. Many were reluctant to participate for fear of retaliation.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8597101.post-80255764819648722022012-06-09T09:02:18.330-05:002012-06-09T09:02:18.330-05:00I'm corresponding with several inmates in diff...I'm corresponding with several inmates in different units and have asked them all if they were asked to submit grievances with recommendations for the Sunset Commission. NONE of them even heard of such a thing....in other words, the request for input to the Sunset Commission by inmates didn't happen. Do we know for sure the inmate input was valid? Was this one more ruse by TDCJ? I'm just sayin'......Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
