Budget Cut Proposals

Obviously there are plans for the Legislature to review budget cuts and TDCJ will be included in the cuts for 2011. Everyone is always asking about whether 3g offenses will start getting Good Time Credits applied to their time for parole eligibility. While the legislation is on break, preparing plans for these budget cuts, maybe it is a good time to write our senators. Show them there is a way to cut the budget, to provide an incentive to inmates with aggravated offenses to follow the rules and still protect the public. Afterall wouldn't the ones that have aggravated crimes be the ones you want to follow the rules the most? If they follow the rules and receive Good Time then they are likely to do the same out here. Those that cannot follow the rules wouldn't get the Good Time.
