The power our legislature has bestowed on this part of the criminal justice system is out of control. By reducing technical violations and the subsequent reincarceration of said violators, the prison population would decrease significantly. By putting mandatory demands back on the BPP we would see the prison population decrease. As it stands, few are paroled and the population in TDCJ continues to increase at record speed. Too much power for "descretionary" action has been given to a group of people more inclined to exact revenge than justice. The "interim" subjects are clearly lacking focus when something as important as offenders being released on parole is ignored. Couple that with the sorry state of medical care in TDCJ and the term "warehousing human beings" should be the mantra of our prison system.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
