NEW REPORT! Today, TCJC and @thearcofthecap released a new joint report that shows how individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDDs) experience the criminal legal system in Texas. https://www.texascjc.org/system/files/publications/Misunderstood%20and%20Mistreated%20Individuals%20with%20IDD.pdf
The report highlights the factors that drive people with IDDs into the system at disproportionate rates, as well as the unique challenges they face once they've been entangled in the criminal legal system.
