On April 16, 2025, Senior Policy Advisor Luis Soberon testified before lawmakers on improving college education access in Texas prisons.
Why this matters:
Expanding access to college-level programs for incarcerated Texans reduces recidivism.
What the data shows from the Texas 2036 report "Opening Doors: The State of Higher Education in Texas Prisons":
📉 50% drop in enrollment over the past decade
🔁 41.5% reduction in recidivism
💵 Taxpayers see a $1.61 return for every $1 spent
(Read more data from our report on www.texas2036.org/tdcj)
What’s Broken:
🚫 Too many people waitlisted (3x more than enrolled)
⚠️ Poor coordination under TDCJ
What HB 5261 Would Fix:
🤝 Moves oversight to Windham School District
📋 Codifies an advisory board to ensure progress
📌 Formalizes the transition with a TDCJ–Windham Memorandum of Understanding (MOU)
