TX CURE

Membership is composed of prisoners and their families, corrections professionals, public officials, and "ordinary citizens" concerned about criminal justice in Texas.
BOARD OF DIRECTORS
Tape Recorder Proposal
The tape recorder proposal would promote prisoners to achieve higher education through audio correspondence courses, as well as, a form of correspondence to keep the family structure intact. This would help T.D.C.J. mailroom personnel to audibly scan prisoner’s correspondence.
Pay Phones and Phone Cards
By placing pay phones in prisons and selling phone cards in the commissary, the State of Texas creates revenue to help with the T.D.C.J. budgeting issues.
