White worries over prison settlement in Texas
Governor Mark White criticized a proposed prison lawsuit settlement as potentially excessive and unconstitutional. The plan would add 900 single-inmate cells, cut sentences by 60 days for program completions, and fund a $6.5 million psychiatric hospital at Ellis II Unit near Huntsville. White warned against overbuilding psychiatric care beyond constitutional minimums and urged appeal if judges overstep. He also announced Wendell A. Odom’s appointment to the Board of Pardons and Paroles to oversee strict early-release standards.
