Memo from David A. Dean to William P. Clements regarding Board of Pardons and Paroles, November 24, 1980
-
Description
-
Memo from David A. Dean to William P. Clements regarding Board of Pardons and Paroles. The memo was prepared for the purpose of assisting the governor when asked questions regarding the Board and the governor's role in the parole process. While the governor had a high parole denial rate of 28 percent, the overcrowding issue is due to more people committing crimes and prison construction not keeping up with that pace.
