Reprisals discussed by Texas Joint Prison Reform panel
Austin representative Hernandez urged the Joint Committee on Prison Reform to seek Attorney General Benoni’s opinion on criminal consequences for harassing witnesses before the panel. Chairman Gammage supported obtaining the opinion but required a full vote, hindered by a lack of quorum. The discussion followed claims that the Texas Department of Corrections punished prisoners and witnesses who testified, with suggestions reprisals could involve intimidation or perjury.
