While the Polunsky unit houses the death row, it also has other security levels, and the builders noted on Willie Nelson's blog are not on death row.<br /><br />The TDCJ website says this unit has programs in transmission repair, HVAC, and cabinetmaking.

Quite possibly both would apply.<br /><br />You are exactly the type of person that our political leaders, and those who make money off of the hysteria surrounding crimes of all nature but especially sex related crimes, target to maintain their control over the minds of their constituents. Constituents who either don't know how to use their own minds and search for the real truth or are complicit in it all.<br /><br />You won't really understand until you or someone you love lands on this registry list. Then you will see how this affects every aspect of your life, as well as your families. The list will continue to grow, and grow, and grow until it reaches the critical point where society will have to face the consequences of what they have allowed to happen, just like the German people during the '30's and early '40's, like our own federal government's passing of laws that disallowed rights to people of color stating that they could not live in certain neighborhoods, etc..

Whether through misinformation or disinformation, they are a group who are easy targets for anyone. And what can they do, starting an organization to correct the misinformation which will be compared to NAMBLA, and who would dare to be associated with something like that. Even the resident GFB cop hater will often use the tactic to increase his base by posting links to some Facebook page purporting to document child sex crimes committed by police officers.

For the past FOUR YEARS, after calling for five consecutive business days (each year),and leaving a message, my calls were not returned, resulting in a two to two and a half bus ride (each way)just to make an appointment !!
