TEXAS PRISONS


Four days after audacious escape from prison bus, Texas still hasn’t found convicted murderer

Officials are still trying to piece together how Gonzalo Lopez managed to cut through a metal door and hijack a prison bus Thursday. An extensive manhunt continues in Leon County.

Webb County, a Democratic stronghold, is set to welcome Texas Gov. Greg Abbott’s controversial migrant arrests

The county is the most populous to embrace the Republican governor’s “catch-and-jail” policy to arrest people accused of crossing the border illegally for state crimes, including trespassing.

Spared execution once, Texas prisoner Kenneth Foster could face death penalty again after cellmate's death

Foster had been the getaway driver, not the triggerman, in a killing that first put him on death row. Former Gov. Rick Perry commuted his death sentence to life in prison in 2007.

U.S. Supreme Court justices appear reluctant to loosen restrictions on religious advisers during Texas executions

The latest Texas execution protocols forbid spiritual advisers from praying aloud or touching prisoners as the prisoners are killed. Some members of the high court said they feared overturning the rules would lead to a flood of requests for other religious accommodations during executions.

Migrants arrested by Texas in border crackdown are being imprisoned for weeks without legal help or formal charges

Defense attorneys have started asking courts to set migrants free because local justice systems, overwhelmed by arrests under Gov. Greg Abbott's border security push, are routinely violating state law and constitutional due process rights.

After a Texas prosecutor dismissed dozens of migrant trespassing cases, some men were dropped at a border bus station

Officials said immigration authorities weren’t interested in taking migrants who had no criminal conviction into federal custody. But without documentation, at least one newly released migrant soon found himself back in detention.

For third time in recent years, U.S. Supreme Court halts a Texas execution over rules for religious advisers in the death chamber

John Ramirez was scheduled to die Wednesday. His last request to the state had been to let his pastor hold on to him as he died, something the state denied. The high court wants to hear oral arguments on the matter later this year.

An 18-year-old Venezuelan was among the first set free from Texas’ new jail for migrants. No one knew what to do with him.

After more than three weeks in jail, a trespassing charge against the man was dropped because state troopers shouldn’t have arrested him under Gov. Greg Abbott’s border security push. He wound up in bureaucratic limbo for days as federal agencies passed the responsibility for resolving his immigration status.

Converted Texas prison gets first immigrant detainees as Gov. Greg Abbott’s border security effort ramps up

Border-crossing immigrants are being arrested by Texas troopers on state charges like trespassing, and they’re starting to trickle into a prison emptied to house them.

House and Senate committees advance GOP bail legislation, as Democrats warn bills could lead to mass detentions

Legislators in the House and Senate filed matching bills to change state bail practices earlier this week, echoing legislation that failed to pass in the regular session. On Saturday, committees in both chambers approved the bills.

Texas executes John Hummel for murdering his family in 2009

A civil liberties group had tried to delay Hummel's death after reporters were excluded from the state’s last execution.

Texas empties prison to prepare to detain immigrants arrested during ramped-up border enforcement

The prison — Dolph Briscoe Unit in Dilley — will have capacity for about 1,000 people.

Dozens who died in Texas prisons during the pandemic had been granted parole, new report shows

At any given time, thousands of Texas prisoners have been approved for parole but not yet released. At least 42 of those people died in the 12 months after the coronavirus first swept the state.

For the first time in more than 40 years, media was not allowed to witness a Texas execution

On Wednesday, the state executed Quintin Jones, 41, for the Tarrant County murder of his great-aunt in 1999.

After sweltering temperatures killed Texas prisoners, lawmakers vote to install air conditioning

The bill initially approved by the House aims to cool all of Texas’ prisons before 2029. But even if it is signed into law, the lockups will only be air conditioned if lawmakers provide specific funds for installation.
