Dear Department of Justice and Federal Bureau of Investigation,

It is with a heavy heart and a sense of urgency that we write to you today regarding the ongoing crisis within the Texas Department of Criminal Justice (TDCJ). Inmates in the custody of TDCJ are dying at an alarming rate, and Governor Greg Abbott is turning a blind eye to their suffering.

Advocate Angela Thomas Smith has reported a significant increase in calls and letters from inmates across TDCJ, both male and female, detailing the horrific conditions they are facing. These inmates have no connection to each other, so there can be no doubt that their accounts are genuine and not part of some conspiracy.

The corruption within TDCJ has been allowed to fester for years, and the inmates are fed up. They are speaking out against the injustices they are facing every day, and it is time for Texas to be held accountable for the lives they have ruined and the current state of their prison system.

It is clear that TDCJ is in violation of the 8th Amendment, which prohibits cruel and unusual punishment. We are calling for the reopening of the landmark case of Ruiz vs. Estelle from 1981, which exposed the horrific conditions within Texas prisons.

The situation is dire, and a serious call for action is needed. The lives of these inmates are at stake, and we cannot stand idly by while their rights are being violated.

We urge the Department of Justice and the FBI to conduct a thorough investigation into the TDCJ and hold those responsible for the mistreatment of inmates accountable. The inmates deserve to be treated with dignity and respect, and it is time for Texas to reform its prison system to ensure the safety and well-being of all those in their custody.

The time for change is now. We cannot allow the injustices within the TDCJ to continue unchecked. The lives of these inmates matter, and we must fight for their rights and demand justice for all those who have suffered at the hands of this corrupt system.
