We are asking that the recent telephone access given to general population inmates also be granted for death row inmates. The system set in place has voice recognition and can be safely controlled. Allowing death row the same phone access promotes good behavior. For every call placed, state taxpayers will be making money.
The new phone system features a number of security measures to allow officials to monitor calls. Only outgoing calls are to be allowed and those calls can be made only to friends and relatives approved in advance by prison officials.
However, TCDJ has excluded Death Row from these privileges. Please sign this petition to help us get phone access for those inmates also. These inmates are only allowed one five minute phone call every 90 days. The state can do better than that and the families of death row inmates are desperate to hear their voices. Let's all stand together for change.
Texas Death Row inmates deserve not to be forgotten in the long overdue changes that Texas needs to recognize and finally acknowledge.
