Click on the image to download a pdf of a sample grievance. TDCJ
prisoners can use this sample grievance to protest restrictions on
indigent mail.
During their August 2013 Board Meeting, the Texa$ Board of Criminal
(in)Justice approved a revision to the Texas Department of Criminal
Justice (TDCJ) Correspondence Rules. The rules came into effect with no
warning on October 1, 2013.
This new revision restricts indigent prisoners to 5 one-ounce domestic
letters per month. It also removed all references to the first 60 days a
prisoner is indigent – essentially allowing the TDCJ to collect
“indigent debt” indefinitely. The previous policy allowed 5 letters per
week and only allowed TDCJ to recoup amounts expended during the first
60 days a prisoner is indigent. This revised policy clearly violates the
First and Fourteenth Amendments, especially in light of Guajardo v
Estelle, 432 F.Supp 1373 (1977 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 16242).
We must proactively resist this policy. Attached is an example grievance
that can be filed by TDCJ prisoners. I encourage you to edit, expand,
personalize, or revise it. Proactively seek out other prisoners who have
the courage to resist this revision. Encourage family/friends/freeworld
comrades to contact the officials below and demand that this new policy
be repealed:

Another new policy that came out of the August Board Meeting which needs
our proactive resistance prohibits prisoners from receiving stationary
through the mail, starting 1 March 2014. You will only be allowed to
purchase stationary through the commissary. TDCJ is attempting to create
a monopoly. Once this happens, they will be able to charge whatever
prices they wish for their stationary. Start organizing resistance to
this policy NOW!
