At approximately 9 A.M. a correctional officer at the Telford Unit in New Boston, Texas was escorting an offender back to his cell from the dayroom when the offender assaulted the correctional officer. The officer suffered serious injuries and was transported to Christus St. Michael’s Hospital in Texarkana, Texas where he died from his injuries. The agency is working to notify the officer’s next of kin at this time. Investigators with the Office of Inspector General – TDCJ are at the location and processing the crime scene.
“Our hearts are deeply saddened by this tragic loss of life. This dedicated correctional officer came to work each day determined to make Texas a safer place to live. I would ask the public to please keep the officer’s family and the entire TDCJ family in your prayers during this difficult time,” said Brad Livingston, Executive Director of the Texas Department of Criminal Justice.
“Our thoughts and prayers go out to the family, friends, and co-workers of the correctional officer killed this morning. It is times like these that we fully understand the dangers that our officers face each day while on the job,” said Oliver Bell, Chairman of the Texas Board of Criminal Justice. “We will see that the offender who is responsible for this murder will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.”
The offender has been identified as 37 year old Billy Joel Tracy. He is serving a life sentence for aggravated assault and burglary of a habitation. He was also convicted of assault with a deadly weapon, aggravated assault with serious bodily injury on a public servant, and possession of a deadly weapon in a penal institution and is serving 45 years for those offenses.

I may lose my job over this, as I am sure someone will snitch!!! How do you sleep at night Mr. Director Man? Knowing that you close your eyes to what your supervisors do Knowing that blood is on your hands! How do you sleep at night knowing that children are asking their Mother is it true dad is dead? Lay your head on your pillow TDC administration sleep well tonight You will have to face God on judgment day. This was such a tragic senseless thing to happen and if the supervisors would stand up and say no more we are going to follow policy this would not have happened. No we have to get the showers, rec, dental, medical, UCC and GOD forbid should the supervisors snitches stay on a pod and work instead of being in the office kicking back with their supervisor buddies.

Sounds like you have a story you want to tell.

We all have seen it on All Units...Your a Marked person if you stand up. Sad to say..I am sure the Blame will fall solely on the Officer/Officers assigned to work that area...God Knows a Supervisor never pressures officers to take Short Cuts..What officer has not signed a Training Roster..What Shift Notes will show what was really showed..Personal Favorites will be protected from Wrong. seen it happen to many times... Who is gonna admit it..Of course it is always Money is why we quit...It is never over safety issues, It is never on Doing Right..It is Grey vs White... I hate to admit it..but I was "happy" it happened to a stranger in a sense..because I did not know him personally...My Heart skipped many beats praying for friends and Family on Allred, fingers crossed it was not one of them...until I knew It was on another unit..
How Many have heard the Phrase..Just do your Time and Go Home..or This Prison runs 24 Hours and It does not Stop for you..Every Shift has 16 hours of Work to fit in 8 or 12 hour Shifts..Safety Requires time and there is not enough time to do it right..
Some never care..Some of us have cried ourselves to sleep...some of us has sacrificed our Health and that is not enough for them, we have cracked, I break out in Cold Sweat in the Night, I have laid awake at times unable to sleep until I have collapsed from Exhaustion. I have lost time. No Idea what I was doing and Not one offer of Help from anyone..Not one effort to help..only Blame..At times I have wished I had died instead of all the wasted money on Surgery and Medical Treatments..only to try and come back to a Place that makes me sick to work for. I have asked myself why I stayed after getting assaulted and The System wanted to Discipline me. Because I did my Job and told an Offender "No". I have dreams that it is people in Grey beating me down for standing up..Offenders in White coming to help me instead of the other way around. I can see the Resentment in the Grey's eyes for speaking out..because if people really listened they will have to work also, stop getting special Treatment.
I can almost bet I can write the SIR without ever Reviewing the Evidence based on my Experience on Allred, Improper Restraint application, Slipped Cuffs, Improper Escort Procedures, who knows exactly what the Policy of "second Officer in Close Proximity to assist if Necessary" really means? Someone popped the Door wrong? No clear line of Sight? No Clear communication between Escort and Picket Control...The read and Signed Post Orders..etc..etc..Sure Working Extra Overtime is great for the Officer's Pockets..but It exhausts the Officer's Mind and Body to a breaking point..Once Broken they are discarded for a Newer Officer.
But Who is gonna Say Enough is Enough..The Man at the Top bringing home a 6 figure Salary or The Officer at the Bottom who has to provide for their Family? Who is gonna Feed them, Cloth them, keep them healthy? How many more will die, before Grey Stands for Each other and Not the Suits, not those behind the Desks.
Who cares about adding Extra Officers when Funerals cost less than an Officer for a year, When we can go to Africa and Hire New Ones.

I was locked up on that unit for 2 and 1/2 years so I know the crooked corrupt stuff that the supervisors and the majors overlook. They use chemical agent pepper spray on inmates and place both inmates in the cell naked with nothing. I pray for officer Davis and his family but I think it needs to be looked over its corrupted there... Newsflash Tdc officers if you get killed hurt,stabbed,jumped,whatever when they take you to the infirmary someone will be taking your place in the next 10 minutes. God bless you all
