Texas plans more prisons as oil slump strains budget
The Texas Board of Corrections tentatively approves a 67.13 million dollar prison project and seeks funding for two more facilities from the 1987 Legislature. With oil prices down, state revenue shortfalls loom as the budget deficit grows, threatening penalties under a federal court order to reduce population. Corrections chief Alfred Hughes warns occupancy nears 95 percent, pressuring future construction while crime rises. The department plans to get a priority tag for prison appropriations at the January 1987 session.
