Preparing for the 2027 Texas legislative session focusing on parole reform and earned credit opportunities, PACT, which is the Parole Advocacy Coalition of Texas, and the TPA, Texas Prisons Alliance, are campaigning. Join the campaign now. The goal is to help build a system where progress matters and where people have a real opportunity to work toward earlier release consideration. PACT is presenting a bill that will focus on creating more meaningful ways for incarcerated people to earn credit for positive behavior, work, education, program and rehabilitation, and personal growth.
The work being developed through the Parole Advocacy Coalition of Texas is a coalition space focused on legislative strategy, and policy development. As of now, PACT does not have a confirmed bill sponsor. That means there is not a specific Texas House or Senate member officially committed to filing the bill. PACT is working hard along the Texas Prisons Alliance on the next steps of drafting bill language, identifying possible lawmakers, and building relationships before the 2027 session begins. We need a Texas state representative or Texas state senator to get involved. We need to rally troops of support and sponsors for the Parole Advocacy Coalition of Texas. To join the movement, visit the TPA at texasprisonsalliance.org. Communicating from the barriers of solitary confinement, this is female-to-male transgender Xanden Gulley for Prison Radio.
