"I am eternally grateful to the Texas Jail Project. Their
voice is one that cannot be retaliated against or silenced
through threats. They bring attention to problems and present
those problems to higher authority that has to be held accountable...."
Gail Cummings wrote that in 2007 after we publicized some of the abuses in the Angelina County Jail. Now one of TJP's "champion" advocates, Gail supports inmates and their families by helping us research medical conditions and by emailing and calling. She's even been known to show up in court, to support the family and let attorneys know someone is watching.
Gail is helping with cases in more than her home county. This past month she helped me advise a Dallas woman who wrote us with questions about her nephew's symptoms in the notorious Lew Sterrit lockup. While still monitoring that situation, Gail took on emailing information and reassurance to the mother of an injured inmate in Galveston.
Thank God for Gail and email!
