Students will work with TCRP lawyers for a week over winter break. Students will conduct research and analysis for TCRP’s ongoing 50-state survey of solitary confinement practices, which will be used to support litigation and advocacy that will challenge solitary confinement practices in Texas and seek to minimize, if not end, solitary confinement in Texas.
Organization
