Blog interviews with Whitmire, Ellis

Charles Kuffner at Off the Kuff recently posted interviews (audio only) with Texas Senate Criminal Justice Committee Chairman John Whitmire and state Sen. Rodney Ellis, two Democratic leaders on criminal justice topics. Interested readers may want to give them a listen.Whitmire's interview was particularly notable for identifying three prison units he thought should be closed: the Central Unit in Sugarland, the Dawson State Jail in Dallas, and a privately run pre-parole facility in Mineral Wells.
