Public awareness of the November constitutional amendments was low even before September 11. Proposition 8 would authorize an $850 million bond to support 11 state agencies. More than a third would go to maintenance and security improvements for the Texas prison system. All 110 Department of Criminal Justice facilities would benefit if approved.
The plan targets the 26 oldest facilities with 13 units at least six decades old. The Walls Unit in Huntsville, the oldest lockup, shows sections in use for 153 years. TDCJ executive director Gary Johnson likened the repairs to homeowners facing roof leaks and the need to repair or replace to avoid further damage.
