The Texas Department of Criminal Justice (TDCJ) manages offenders in
state prisons, state jails and private correctional facilities that contract
with TDCJ. The agency also provides funding and certain oversight of community
supervision and is responsible for the supervision of offenders released from
prison on parole or mandatory supervision. The Department of Criminal Justice
came into being in 1848 when "An Act to Establish a State Penitentiary" was
passed by the Second Texas Legislature. The act established a governing body of
the penitentiary as a three-member Board of Directors, appointed by the
Governor, with the approval of the Senate. The Board was responsible for
creating and distributing a set of rules and bylaws for the administration of
the penitentiary, overseeing the treatment of convicts, preparing an annual
inventory of property, and making an annual report to the Governor.
In 1881, the Legislature reorganized the prison system, abolishing the
Board of Directors, and creating in its place a Penitentiary Board, consisting
of the governor, the state treasurer, and the prison superintendent (Chapter
49, 17th Legislature, Regular Session). In April 1883, the administrative
system was again reorganized, with the board comprised of the governor and two
commissioners appointed by the governor (Chapter 114, 18th Legislature, Regular
Session). In 1885, the board composition changed once more, now consisting of
three commissioners appointed by the governor (House Bill 562, 19th
Legislature, Regular Session). This board was succeeded by the Board of Prison
Commissioners in 1910, which was composed of three commissioners appointed by
the governor (Senate Bill 10, 31st Legislature, 4th Called Session). Convicts,
or inmates, were housed and worked in one of the two prisons or on one of
several state prison farms. The shop industries slowed down while the prison
farms expanded. This arrangement made it more difficult to provide education
and other reform measures. Such measures were generally practiced at
Huntsville, with some teaching extended to a couple of prison farms by the
early 1900s.
The Texas Prison Board replaced the Board of Prison Commissioners as
the governing body for the Texas Prison System in 1927, increasing in size to
nine members (House Bill 59, 40th Legislature, Regular Session). The members of
the board were appointed by the governor, with senate approval, to six year
overlapping terms. During the Board's tenure, 1927-1957, the Board made changes
in the system including more emphasis on prison reform, teaching,
recreation--including the establishment of the Texas Prison Rodeo--and a new
method of classifying inmates. The Texas Prison System became the Department of
Corrections in 1957 (Senate Bill 42, 55th Legislature, Regular Session). This
Department was governed by the Board of Corrections, composed of nine members
appointed by the governor with the advice and consent of the senate to six year
overlapping terms.
In 1989, the Texas Department of Criminal Justice (TDCJ) and the Board
of Criminal Justice were created (House Bill 2335, 71st Legislature, Regular
Session). The Board is composed of nine members appointed by the governor with
the advice and consent of the senate to six year overlapping terms. This new
agency absorbed the functions of three agencies: the Department of Corrections,
the Texas Board of Pardons and Paroles, and the Texas Adult Probation
Commission. The Department of Corrections, which was responsible for the
operation of the prison system, is now the Institutional Division of the
Department of Criminal Justice. This Division still manages the housing of
inmates within the prison system.
The prison system has changed since the 1900s. A major penal reform
program was initiated in 1947, modernizing agricultural production, initiating
industrial production by inmates, and providing improvements in physical
facilities for inmates and employees. A Construction Division was created in
1948 to make use of inmate labor, prison-made brick, and concrete for new
building projects. In 1963, the Prison-Made Goods Act authorized an Industries
Program to produce materials for internal use and for sale to qualified
agencies in the state while providing occupational skills training to inmates.
Other services available to inmates include education, recreation, religion,
and physiological and psychological health care. The Windham School District
was created in 1969 to offer GED certificates or high school diplomas to
inmates. Junior college and senior college classes are available.
Rehabilitation programs offer vocational training, work furlough programs, and
community services to aid inmates in securing work upon release and making the
adjustment and transition into society. Legal services are also available to
inmates through the Office of the General Counsel.
In 1974 a class action suit was filed by inmate David Ruiz and others
on behalf of the inmates in the Texas prison system against the director W.J.
Estelle, Jr. and the Texas Department of Corrections. Hearings began in 1978
and legal action continued through the 1990s. The courts found the conditions
of confinement violated the United States Constitution and appointed a special
master and monitors to supervise implementation of the court-ordered changes.
These changes have included reduction of crowding in the prisons and the
development of better living, health, and working conditions for inmates.
Federal oversight of the Texas prison system ended in 2002.
Return to the Table of Contents
Born in 1942, David Ruiz was one of 13 children in a migrant worker
family, and grew up in Austin, Texas. He was twice-convicted for armed robbery
and was serving a 12-year sentence in the Texas Department of Corrections
(TDC), in the Eastham Unit, when he filed his hand written writ of habeas
corpus in 1972 against the Department of Corrections. He was asking for
declaratory and injunctive relief, alleging that the conditions of his
confinement violated his constitutional rights. He and other writ writers
involved in other suits were able to obtain the services of attorney William
Bennett Turner (of San Francisco) through funding from the NAACP (National
Association for the Advancement of Colored People) Legal Defense Fund. In 1974
Ruiz's complaint was combined with seven other complaints to form the class
action suit, Ruiz v. Estelle. The case was
initially assigned to the U. S. District Court in Tyler. The venue was changed
to Houston, with federal Judge William Wayne Justice assigned to hear the case.
The plaintiffs' case concerned issues involving prison overcrowding, security
and supervision, health care, disciplinary procedures, limitations on access to
courts, and deficiencies in fire safety, sanitation, work safety, and hygiene.
Private counsel was appointed to represent the prisoners and the United States
Department of Justice intervened in the case on behalf of the plaintiffs. The
Texas Attorney General's Office represented the Department of Corrections and
the State of Texas, with additional outside counsel later joining the defense.
The trial is perhaps the longest civil rights trial in the history of the
American justice system. The trial started on October 2, 1978 and lasted 159
days, in which 349 witnesses testified and over 1500 exhibits were entered into
evidence. In order to protect inmate witnesses, Judge Justice issued a
protective order in the fall of 1979 for the 96 inmates who testified allowing
them to transfer to federal custody. Seventy-eight of the witnesses requested
and were granted such transfers.
On December 10, 1980, Judge Justice issued his Memorandum of Opinion,
finding that the prisons were overcrowded; that the recreational facilities,
health care, hearing procedures for disciplinary actions, and prisoner access
to courts were wholly inadequate; and that fire safety and sanitation standards
violated state law and the United States Constitution. The court directed the
parties to draft a plan for providing general relief in addition to correcting
deficiencies in the areas noted. In March 1981 the court signed a partial
consent decree (filed in April 1981) mandating widespread changes in the prison
system. Shortly thereafter, the court appointed a special master to "observe,
monitor, find facts, report or testify as to his findings, and make
recommendations to the court concerning steps which should be taken to achieve
compliance." Monitors were appointed by the court to assist the special master
and to oversee the implementation of court-ordered changes. In effect, the
federal government began its oversight of the Texas prison system.
One of the most troubling issues concerning TDC at the time was prison
overcrowding. In some cases inmates were triple-celled. TDC was ordered by the
court to reduce the number of inmates per cell, eventually settling on two to a
cell, based on size restrictions of the cells. In order to reduce prison
overcrowding, TDC was able to get money from the state to build several new
dorms at existing prisons and eventually a few new prisons. It also worked with
the Board of Pardons and Paroles to push through any inmates eligible for
parole and on May 10, 1982, TDC temporarily stopped accepting prisoners. The
doors were reopened on May 17, 1982.
In the 1980s a number of court rulings were handed down by the U.S.
Court of Appeals for the 5th Circuit and most were appealed by the Department
of Corrections. The court generally decreed the parties work together to
develop a plan to solve each of the outstanding issues. One issue of particular
interest was that of building tenders. Tenders were inmates given special
responsibility by the guards including overseeing the work of fellow inmates.
On April 14, 1982, the parties presented to the court a plan (Stipulation
Modification to the Consent Decree) in which TDC would be prohibited from
allowing prisoners to have any position of authority, to assist in counting
other prisoners, to possess weapons, to escort other prisoners, to influence
cell assignments, or to have access to another prisoner's medical or
institutional record. The plan provided a method for dismantling the building
tender system and was approved by the court.
On March 6, 1990 Judge Justice ordered the parties to start
negotiations on finding solutions to the remaining issues so a comprehensive
final order in the case could be issued. The parties submitted a proposed final
judgment to the court on August 13, 1992; it was approved on December 11, 1992.
Topics addressed included staffing, support services for inmates, discipline,
administrative segregation, work health and safety, use of force, access to the
courts, maintenance of facilities, programming and recreational activities,
visitation, crowding, new facilities, monitoring, health services, psychiatric
services, death row conditions, and enforcement procedures.
In March of 1996 TDCJ asked the court to vacate its final judgment,
citing the Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 60 (b). The federal Prison
Litigation Reform Act (PLRA) was signed into law on April 26, 1996. TDCJ wanted
to end the district court's supervision of the Texas prison system and on May
21, 1996, asked the court again to vacate its final judgment, pursuant to the
PLRA. The court declined to vacate the judgment. Two Texas legislators,
Representative John Culberson and Senator J.E. Brown, asked the district court
to allow them to intervene in the lawsuit. The plaintiffs and TDCJ opposed this
move and the judge declined their motion to intervene on November 24, 1997.
Following amendments to the PLRA the legislators appealed and on November 20,
1998, the Fifth Circuit Judge (William Lockhart) reversed the district court's
ruling and remanded the case.
On May 6, 1998, TDCJ again asked the district court to terminate the
final judgment, pursuant to the PLRA, under its two-year termination provision.
Judge Justice again declined to do so, reaffirming his view that the PLRA was
unconstitutional (June 19, 1998). Because a supplemental motion filed by the
defendants on September 6, 1996 to terminate the judgment had still not been
officially ruled on, they petitioned the Fifth Circuit Court for a writ of
mandamus to end the delay in the case and force the district court to make a
ruling. The Fifth Circuit ruled that the district court would have to issue a
ruling within 31 days of an evidentiary hearing on the motion. Hearings were
held in January and February 1999. On March 1, 1999, Judge Justice ruled he
would not terminate the final judgment order. This order was appealed by the
defendants and the United States filed a cross-appeal. The Fifth Circuit
reversed and remanded the case. The district court, under remand, then
reconsidered its decision. Judge Justice determined that constitutional
violations still existed in three major areas: administrative confinement
segregation, failure to provide reasonable safety to inmates against abuse and
assault, and excessive use of force by correctional officers. Federal oversight
would continue only in these areas until the parties could craft remedial
changes to correct these violations. A final judgment, ending federal oversight
of the prison system, was issued on June 17, 2002. The case was dismissed by
the court, with prejudice. David Ruiz was released in 1983, but it was
short-lived. He was back in the prison system when the final ruling came down.
He died in November 2005, in the prison hospital in Galveston.
Basic changes resulting from this suit which the TDCJ had to implement
included: filing reports on the number of inmates and space per inmate,
requiring the TDCJ to reduce inmate population, eventually resulting in only
two inmates per cell; preserving verbatim records of all disciplinary hearings;
giving inmates in administrative segregation the opportunity for regular
exercise; ensuring that inmates be allowed access to courts, counsel and public
officials; developing and implementing a system for classification of inmates;
developing concise standards and procedures governing the use of physical force
against TDCJ prisoners; developing programs, standards, and procedures
concerning inmate health care; dismantling the building tender system;
developing programs, standards, and procedures concerning special needs
prisoners; and developing standards and procedures for the use of inmates in
support service capacities.
A number of pleadings were filed by Ruiz, et al., each naming the
director of the prison as the first defendant, thus the style changes from
Ruiz vs. Estelle (the director at the time of the
original suit) to, for instance, Ruiz vs. McKaskle,
etc., changing when the director of the prison system changed.

The Texas Department of Criminal Justice (TDCJ) manages offenders in
state prisons, state jails and private correctional facilities that contract
with TDCJ. The Ruiz litigation case files document a 1974 class action suit
filed by David Ruiz and others against the Texas Department of Corrections and
director W.J. Estelle, on behalf of inmates in the Texas prison system over
confinement violations. Records present include correspondence; interoffice
memoranda; decision memoranda; reports (internal reports, reports of the
monitor, reports of the special master); administrative records (unit reports,
plans, procedures, statistics, lists of inmates, manuals, rules and
regulations, weekly activity reports, etc.); notes; court pleadings; audio
tapes and a DVD of interviews; and discovery documents, hearing transcripts,
testimony and depositions from the 1999 hearings. Dates covered are 1964,
1971-2001, undated, bulk dating 1981-1989, 1996-1999. These are the
correspondence and administrative files of the Texas Department of Criminal
Justice (formerly the Department of Corrections), General Counsel's Office
during the period of federal oversight incurred due to the David Ruiz
litigation. General counsels or assistant general counsels/directors
represented in these records include Gerald Fall, Steve Martin, J. Kirk Brown,
James Hall, and Jim Brady. Topics discussed covered all aspects of the federal
oversight issues, including overcrowding, administrative segregation, health
care and housing, classification of inmates, rules and regulations, incident
reports, use of force, disciplinary action against inmates and guards, inmate
access to courts, needs of special inmates, issues concerning SSI (support
service inmates), and others.
Correspondents include the Attorney General's Office (primarily
Melinda Bozarth, Nancy Juren, Cynthia Milne and Scott McCown), plaintiff's
attorneys (primarily Donna Brorby and William Bennett Turner), outside legal
counsel for the state (primarily the firm of Fulbright and Jaworski), court
appointed monitors or other court officials, including Judge William Wayne
Justice, and the special master (Vincent Nathan). Internal memos are present
between staff of the General Counsel's Office, the executive director's office,
and other sections of the Texas Department of Criminal Justice (fomerly the
Department of Corrections).
The described materials were reviewed to confirm (and in a few cases
supply) folder titles and dates. Folder titles generally do not include all
record types that may be present in the file. For instance, a folder labeled
"Amended order of reference, July 24, 1981" may
contain a copy of the order and/or possibly correspondence, reference materials
or notes about the order.
A few of the materials have some insect damage and/or mold damage.
Most of the mold was removed, what remains is along the tops and edges of
documents and is not active. In severe cases, some materials were photocopied
on acid-free paper and the moldy materials were discarded.
This series is part of the
Texas Department of Criminal Justice finding aid.
It was removed from that finding aid and is split into three separate
finding aids due to the electronic file size limitations imposed by the online

Arrangement |
|
The records arrived at the archives in no apparent order. Most of the
files within the boxes have been maintained as received from the agency. Some
minor rearrangement by staff was done to correct obvious misfiles. Files have
been loosely arranged intellectually into four groups by State Archives staff:
Correspondence and topical files, court filings, court filings-reports, and
1999 hearings. Another guide exists for those wishing to see the files in the
order they were processed, which has no real reflection on their arrangement at
the agency. |

numbers, access device numbers (V.T.C.A., Government Code, Section 552.136);
and biometric identifiers (V.T.C.A., Government Code 560); an archivist must
review these records before they can be accessed for research. The records may
be requested for research under the provisions of the Public Information Act
(V.T.C.A., Government Code, Chapter 552). The researcher may request an
interview with an archivist or submit a request by mail, fax, or email
including enough description and detail about the information requested to
enable the archivist to accurately identify and locate the information
requested. If our review reveals information that may be excepted by the Public
Information Act, we are obligated to seek an open records decision from the
Attorney General on whether the records can be released. The Public Information
Act allows the Archives ten working days after receiving a request to make this
determination. The Attorney General has 45 working days to render a decision.
Alternately, the Archives can inform you of the nature of the potentially
excepted information and if you agree, that information can be redacted or
removed and you can access the remainder of the records.
All of the Ruiz records are restricted and have to be reviewed by an
archivist before they can be accessed for research. Most of the possible
exceptions are not noted in the folder inventory because they apply to the
majority of the folders, only exceptions that are less obvious are so marked.
Some of the folders have been reviewed and redacted (if needed) and are thus
open to the public. Such folders have been identified in the inventory.
Materials do not circulate, but may be used in the State Archives
search room. Materials will be retrieved from and returned to storage areas by
staff members.
Restrictions on Use
Most records created by Texas state agencies are not copyrighted and
may be freely used in any way. State records also include materials received
by, not created by, state agencies. Copyright remains with the creator. The
researcher is responsible for complying with U.S. Copyright Law (Title 17
U.S.C.).

1999 hearings: |
|
[Boxes 2004/016-99 thru 114 are from a group
of files whose boxes were marked March 1999 hearing, each had a box inventory.
The hearings were held in January-February 1999, the ruling came down in early
March 1999. Files contain discovery responses, court filings, exhibits, expert
reports and depositions, testimony, affidavits, correspondence, attorney work
product memoranda, custodial death reports, and transcripts from the January
and February hearings. Some of the materials were gathered into notebooks by
the Attorney General's Office and there appears to be some duplication of
notebook materials and loose materials in other boxes, but some of the
duplicate sets of reports, etc., have notes not present in the documents filed
in the notebooks. The boxes for this group were received from the General
Counsel's Office in Austin and had some order to the boxes, as opposed to the
rest of the Ruiz materials. Files within the boxes remain unchanged, some
intellectual arrangement of the boxes was undertaken by State Archives
staff.] |

[An investigation of inmate deaths was
required by statute to be sent to the Texas Attorney General's Office. The
reports in boxes 2004/016-103 thru 105 contain the TDCJ-ID investigation,
medical records and autopsies, and possibly some internal memoranda. Most, if
not all of the materials are confidential. In some cases, two reports are filed
for the same individual, under different case numbers. The reports were
initially filed in two very overstuffed boxes, each with an inventory. Once the
reports were placed in folders, the volume of the files became three cubic ft.
Files are arranged by case number.] |
