Texas corrections officials announced a crackdown on holiday furloughs for violent offenders, limiting seven day releases to 45 inmates versus 160 last year. Among the prior releases were murder or involuntary manslaughter cases and aggravated assault on officers. The move followed cross party criticism of lenient leave policies highlighted by national figures and state histories.
