Legal Question in Criminal Law in Texas
TDCJ ex contract employee
a contract employee with tdcj is investigated by rank for possible inappropriate relationship with an offender, employee was put on lock out from that particular unit and the offender was transferred to another unit. the case was dismissed after a complete investigation due to lack of evidence, written proof avaiable. the employee was not allowed to come back to work at the unit and nothing to base that decision on. the exemployee communicates openly with the offender via mail. one year has past since this occurrance. when letters and/or pictures are sent between the exemployee and offender they are intercepted by tdcj personnel and forwarded to the unit where this all started. the pictures and letters are kept by the personnell and internal affairs and they have been shown and used for other unoffical purposes, pictures mainly. how can the prison personnell intercept mail without notifing the offender and then send it to another facility and use it to their benifit? once a case has been run and dismissed can they continue to try and make a case even though the employee is no longer there or employeed by that establishment and a year has past?

Re: TDCJ ex contract employee
Of course, any sexual relationship between a jailor and an inmate is illegal and can be criminally prosecuted. The inmate is in a position of disadvantage legally compared to the bull/boss/turnkey. Pushing this issue, especially before the expiration of any period of limitations has expired, may give the former jailor and the inmate more in common than the jailor would have desired.
