Texas Prison Lockdown
The Texas Tribune reported that a day before the statewide lockdown was enforced, an incident at the Coffield Unit led to the termination of seven correctional officers and the resignations of another six.
The situation prompted the TDCJ Office of Inspector General to initiate over 500 criminal investigations into illegal activities involving inmates, staff, and prison visitors.
In particular, the rise in inmate homicides has been a significant concern. According to TDCJ spokesperson Jeremy Hernandez, there have been 16 inmate homicides this year alone, a stark increase compared to previous years. Last year saw seven inmate homicides, while the year prior there were nine murders.
