AUSTIN (AP) — Hard criminals would do hard time and
the backlog of state prisoners in county jails would be relieved
under bills approved by the Texas Senate.
Senators overwhelmingly approved a revision of the state’s
penal code Thursday and adopted a second measure creating
22,000 new “state jail” beds for nonviolent offenders.
“These bills are definitely going to make Texas a safer place
to live and work,” said Sen. John Whitmire, D-Houston, chair-
man of the Senate Criminal Justice Committee.
Currently, people convicted of crimes like murder and rape
are required to serve at least one-fourth of their sentences. But
the revision of the penal code would require them to serve at
least half of their sentence.
“Instead of a guy going to prison for 40 years and serving
10, he will serve at least 20,” Whitmire said.
“I think that the penal code and the jail bill will go a long
way in keeping the violent criminals locked up for a longer
period of time — that’s the bottom line,” said Gov. Ann Ri-
chards’ press secretary, Bill Cryer. He said the governor likely
would sign both measures.
The House was expected to consider the bills Friday.
Child molestation would be added to the list of the state’s
most violent crimes and the minimum time served for capital
murder would increase from 35 to 40 years under the penal
code revision.
“This legislation will do more than anything that has been
done at anytime in the last 20 years to make Texas a safer
place to live,” said Lt. Gov. Bob Bullock.
Other notable changes would allow the state to prosecute
the intentional transmission of AIDS as attempted murder, and
increase punishment for solicitation of a child by making it a
felony instead of a misdemeanor.
