Texas Criminal Justice Coalition
2007 Newsletter
Dear TCJC Supporter,
I couldn’t be more excited to tell you about everything TCJC has been involved with this year to improve Texas’ criminal justice system. It’s not an exaggeration to say we are witnessing history here in Texas, and we’ve been privileged to be a part of it.
Whether you’re a probation or parole officer or director, the family member of a person in prison, an attorney, a state or local judge, a member of law enforcement, an alcohol or drug treatment provider, a formerly incarcerated person, a researcher or policy analyst, an advocate for victims or those incarcerated, a faith-based advocate, or a Republican or Democratic policy-maker and staff, you gave us your trust, your expertise, your knowledge gained from years of personal experience, and your valuable time – all for the purpose of creating strategies that will make our criminal justice system more responsible, just, safe, and cost-effective.
