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">https://www.texascjc.org/system/fi...

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& #39;ve been entangled in the criminal legal system.
