Illuminating the Truth: Our Transparency Initiatives

At Texas Prison Transparency Project, we believe in the power of open dialogue and accountability. Our transparency initiatives are designed to shed light on the realities within the Texas prison system, fostering understanding and driving meaningful reform. Discover how we're working to create a more just and humane environment for inmates and staff alike.

Building Bridges, Not Walls

We bridge the gap between prisons and the public, turning outrage into understanding, and understanding into action. We empower families to become advocates by standing beside them as they find their strength and voice, while also honoring humanity inside the system through memorial projects, family outreach, and advocacy rooted in dignity and truth.

Transforming Pain into Purpose

TPTP’s work transforms pain into purpose, promoting reform that is collaborative, not combative. We bring together staff, families, legislators, and communities to build something better for everyone. We help people on every side of the system see that change is not only possible, it’s already happening – when we lead with courage, compassion, and transparency.

"The Texas Prison Transparency Project is transformative because we don’t just report problems — we humanize them and work toward solutions. Our initiatives bring truth, accountability, and compassion to a system that too often operates in silence."
