Relating to an annual report on the use of administrative segregation in facilities operated by or under contract with the Texas Department of Criminal Justice.
HB 4764 requires the Texas Department of Criminal Justice (TDCJ) to submit an annual report by January 31 on the use of administrative segregation (including solitary confinement, death row, and other restrictive housing) in all TDCJ-operated or contracted facilities. The report must include detailed data for each affected inmate, such as their demographics, reasons for placement, duration in segregation, mental health diagnoses, availability of rehabilitative programs, and outcomes like self-harm or suicide attempts. This bill directly affects incarcerated individuals in Texas correctional facilities and ensures transparency for the governor, lieutenant governor, and all state legislators. The mandate focuses on collecting specific, factual data to inform oversight without altering segregation policies.
