Interview with Alycia Welch
Description
An account of the resource
Alycia Welch is the Associate Director of the Prison and Jails Innovation Lab at the LBJ School of Public Affairs at UT Austin. In this interview, Alycia speaks about her work to dismantle the gender gap behind bars. Alycia works to create policy and reform for women in Texas prisons because their needs are often ignored and neglected by TDCJ and the state. Alycia speaks about the types of reform she is hoping to see in Texas prisons, revolving around women’s access to their children, improvements to education/programs, leadership changes, and environmental changes. Alycia also speaks to the societal conditions that often push women into state violence and the carceral system, and ultimately, the hardship women face because of their gender. This interview was conducted on May 13th, 2021 via Zoom by interviewer Bryn Starbird and narrator Alycia Welch.

Description
An account of the resource
At the time of this interview, Amite Dominick was the Vice-President of the Texas Prisons Air-Conditioning Advocates, and a former board member of Texas Cure. In July of 2021, Dominick became the president of TPAA, and the organization changed its name to the Texas Prisons Community Advocates. She has been advocating for the installation of air-conditioning in all Texas prisons since 2015. Detailing her experiences at the Texas legislature, Dominick dives into the realities of criminal justice advocacy and how conditions of confinement intersect with every other aspect of carceral life. Dominick’s work is one of ongoing effort, and she explains the exhaustion, the frustration, and the sacrifice of trying to change the laws creating fatal circumstances for so many, who physically cannot demand more from their state representatives. This interview was conducted by Murphy Anne Carter as part of the Sheltering Justice interview collection by Texas After Violence Project. Carter and Dominick spoke on June 1st, 2021 via Zoom.

Interview with Andrea McCutcheon
Description
An account of the resource
Andrea McCutcheon’s fiance has been incarcerated since May of 2018. In this interview, Andrea discusses the difficulties her fiance has endured as an immunocompromised individual during COVID-19 and the neglect he faces in Texas prisons. Through consistent engagement with advocacy groups, social support networks, and –when possible– her loved one, Andrea is able to provide information on current situations involving programming, housing, and health protocols happening on the inside. She is one of many who deal with the extra frustration of having a loved one who is still inside despite having been found eligible for parole. Andrea speaks about her journey into advocacy and political action regarding conditions in Texas prisons. She is also involved in Texas Air-Conditioning Advocate and Texas Cares. She further discusses her fear of her fiance becoming infected with COVID-19 and losing his place in line for release. This interview was recorded on June 6, 2020 via Zoom with interviewer Murphy Anne-Carter and narrator Andrea McCutcheon.

Interview with Bob Libal
Description
An account of the resource
Bob Libal is a community organizer and civil rights activist living in Austin, Texas. Currently, he is the Senior Campaign Strategist at The Sentencing Project. Bob began contributing to Austin community organizing when he began studies at UT in 1999.

Bob has also worked with Grassroots Leadership in student organizing, immigration rights organizing, and criminal justice reform. He speaks specifically about each of those movements and what abolition and community safety means to him. Additionally, Bob discusses his work organizing against Prop B in Austin and how its passing affects communities most affected by state violence. As a person with white, male, and educational privilege, Bob speaks on the strategies he implements to use his privilege to the advantage of the organizing’s purpose. This interview was conducted on July 1, 2021 by interviewers Murphy Anne Carter and Jane Fields and narrator Bob Libal.

Interview with Cluren Williams
Description
An account of the resource
Cluren Williams is a 4th generation Austinite, author, and activist. In this interview, Cluren discusses the deep roots of racism and classism in the US and Austin, and how he got involved with community organizing and advocacy. He is particularly troubled by the amount of violence that the Black community faces everyday; he seeks to be a voice of unity and peace. He shares how the socioeconomic changes in Austin have displaced much of the East Austin Black community and how the Austin Police Department (APD), gentrification, and corporations have made Austin a playground for the wealthy. Cluren also discusses his brother’s assault at the hands of the APD and his subsequent incarceration. He shares the low quality of care his brother received in the hospital and how his family was barred from visiting him. Ultimately, Cluren speaks on the stark injustice and systemic racism that affects the Black community everyday. He will continue to advocate for his community and all other marginalized communities in hopes that we can see each other as equal humans, all deserving of love, respect, and dignity. This interview was recorded on July 14th, 2021 by interviewers Jane Field and Amy Kamp and narrator Cluren Williams.

An account of the resource
David Johnson is an activist and community organizer in Austin, Texas. He currently serves as the Criminal Justice Organizer for Grassroots Leadership. In his interview, he discusses the impact of COVID-19 in prisons, specifically how prisons across this country are not set up to protect incarcerated people from illness. Related to this, Johnson speaks about his own incarceration and his support system, and how many incarcerated people lack friends and family members that seek to remind them of who they are. Johnson emphasizes the importance of community and organizing , especially during a crisis, and the grassroots movements that have grown during COVID-19.

Interview with Eric Martinez & Samantha Benavides
Description
An account of the resource
Sam Benavides is a recent college graduate of Texas State University, where she earned her degree in Public Administration and Political Communication. She is from Laredo, Texas, and currently works as a Campaign Fellow with Mano Amiga in San Marcos, Texas, where she focuses on communications as well as centering the voices of directly impacted individuals in legal reform advocacy efforts. She previously worked with MOVE Texas, a statewide nonpartisan nonprofit organization that works to build power in underrepresented youth communities. It was through her work with MOVE that she met the Mano Amiga team, and formally joined the organization in the summer of 2020.
Eric Martinez is the Policy Director for Mano Amiga. Eric’s political evolution began in libertarian anarchist circles and drifted towards employment in right-wing research think tanks, where he focused on local governance issues fighting against developers. He gladly left that life behind, over what he saw as inconsistent application of anti-violence principles on matters of immigration and the criminal legal system. and has since developed profoundly and rapidly, earning him an invitation to work directly for the county’s top elected official, a progressive democrat and fellow college dropout, the Hays County Judge, where Eric helped lead a criminal legal system assessment identifying the cost of the local jail had risen 7000% in 5 years.
He then left to lead Mano Amiga full time, where along with the team, he successfully advocated for the state's of Texas's only Cite & Release Ordinance, brought a revolving community bail fund to Hays County: The Bail Project, and advocated for $5 million in ARP funding to go towards establishing a public defender's office.
Based in San Marcos, Mano Amiga was formed out of a need to organize and campaign against the detainment and deportation of undocumented people in the US. Today, Mano Amiga has expanded their goals to advocate for criminal justice policy reform in Hays and Caldwell Counties.

Description
An account of the resource
Jennifer Toon is a journalist from East Texas with 27 years of system involvement. She wrote for the state prison newspaper, The Echo, for over ten years, and as a freelance writer she has published work with The Texas Observer, The Marshall Project, and the Guardian. In this interview, Toon offers a personal perspective on how her lived experiences influence her current journalism and advocacy. She discusses how important it is for peer support to come from actual peers, highlighting the concept of “nothing for us without us.” The specific issues she touches on include nuances of the female experience behind bars, the familial community built during her years there, and the irreplaceable importance of maintaining connections to the outside while locked inside. Toon also outlines the most pressing objectives she hopes to highlight during COVID. She can speak directly to the ways that the virus has escalated injustices happening in prisons because of her close contact to many of those still incarcerated. (Line break) Despite the atrocities that she is regularly hearing and writing about, Toon offers the optimistic perspective that hardships can be shaped into tools to help self or others. In this interview, and throughout all her writings, Toon maintains positivity without denial of how severely problematic the system can be. Some of her articles, including ones discussed in this interview, can be found at https://muckrack.com/jennifer-toon/articles. This interview was conducted virtually by Murphy Anne Carter on August 10, 2020.
