Clements orders reversal on prison intake plan
Gov. Bill Clements intervenes to stop closing Texas Department of Corrections to new prisoners and tasks TDC with alternatives to ease overcrowding. The plan to release about 450 inmates immediately and 1,200 more in two months aims to meet court-ordered space requirements and keep criminals off the streets. Meanwhile a TRIP study finds 17,276 Texas bridges fall short of engineering criteria, signaling widespread road infrastructure needs.
