TPI is submitting comment reports about deficient PREA audits of Texas prisons.
TPI has developed a simple auditor tool for auditors to see current information about any unit that we have in our system, providing important PREA-related information concerning these facilities.
Content warning: Some of these letters describe threats and incidents of violence that may be disturbing. We will note whether each letter is considered a low, moderate, or high risk for being disturbing. We consider this letter to be low risk.
The following letter report is TPI’s report of deficiencies we were able to identify with the 2024 audit of TDCJ Clemens Unit. The audit report can be accessed at this link.
Deficiencies noted in our report include a failure to spend the minimum required time conducting the audit, failure to provide accurate and truthful information (information about the numbers of interviews appears to be intentionally falsified), failure to meet minimum interview requirements, and failures and apparent failures to identify noncompliance and require corrective actions.
