A Deep Dive on Injustice in Texas on PBS’s The Open Mind Texas Defender | Posted on January 15, 2026 |
Dear Friends,
Texas is one of the major centers of mass incarceration in the world. We are grateful to PBS for doing a deep dive with us on The OpenMind’s episode Deep in the Heart of Texas. Together we explored the harms of mass incarceration, the problems with the Texas death penalty, the importance of second chances, and the long-lasting effects of prison on people seeking to reenter society.
Thank you to Alexander Heffner for inviting us and for the thoughtful questions about how mass incarceration harms Texas communities—and how we can together forge a path for change. Please check out the full 30-minute video interview here!
With gratitude,
Burke Butler
