Greetings to all! I’m voicing this message out to anyone concerned and to those families that have been impacted by the criminal justice system in Texas. I pray that you will be able to take a course of action! The “Good Conduct Time Bill” or HB 1064 is again being presented in this legislation session. Because Republicans are the “majority”, to pass any bill in Texas it must have some Republican support. The only criminal justice reform bills the Republicans will vote for are those that will lower crime rate. The Good Conduct Time Credit Bill will lower the crime rate by allowing prisoners who have rehabilitated themselves with education to become eligible for parole according to the extent of their education and good behavior. These prisoners will have far lower recidivism rates than the average prisoner, and shifting parole to them will lower the crime rate via a lowering of the recidivism rate. The Republicans who voted for the 2023 “second look” juvenile bill should be told about the 2025 Good Conduct Time Credit Bill, and its ability to lower the crime rate. Former president Donald Trump enacted a version of this bill for federal inmates, however the “Good Conduct Time” would be open to more qualifying individuals compared to Trump’s “First Step” act.

It’s time for “God’s People” and “We The People” to take a stand in unity and seek a change.

A true transformation into real EQUALITY. Andy Conn is advocating against the bill and has provided inaccurate information to the public that IF this bill is passed thousands of violent criminals will be released into the streets. This statement is unfounded because those that are already eligible are not released, but are “considered only”. Around February there will be a rally for this bill and we need the biggest turnout! Andy Conn will bring his followers to lobby against the bill. If you’re able to spread the word to the population via social media do so, so that those who are willing and wanting to help can come and show support at the Capitol.
