due to the over-crowding conditions of Texas prisons
operated by the Institutional Division of the Texas
Department of Criminal Justice, the Legislature has
approved an issue to be submitted as an election for
the construction of new prison buildings and the
renovation of existing facilities, to be held November
5, 1991; and,
the resulting consequences of the over-crowding
conditions has lead to a "revolving door" through which
criminals, with the least exposure to possible
rehabilitation, come and go; and,
the lack of incarceration space and the resulting
increasing presence of the criminal element in society
and on the streets presents an undue economic hardship
on all citizens of the State of Texas; and
the repeated criminal actions of these "revolving door"
criminals results in great pain and hardship for the
citizens of the State of Texas; and,
the passage of Proposition 4 on the November 5th,
ballot would result in an increase of over 25,000
additional criminals being kept off the streets;
