Death Row Offenders will not be allowed to watch television. However, the current plan is to recreate all Death Row Offenders separately. The physically separate recreation areas do allow for verbal communication between offenders. The recreation schedule is outlined in the Recreation section of the Death Row Plan. Terrell currently has 8 visitation cubicles and 2 legal cubicles available for Death Row Visitation.
Plans are underway to increase the number of cubicles.
The visitation spaces separate the offenders and the visitors with a glass partition, and communication is by telephone, as defined in the General Visitation section of the Visitation Plan. The length of time a visitor may have to wait will be dependent on the number of visitors at any particular time. As noted, plans are underway to increase the number of cubicles. It is the policy of the TDCJ to enable and encourage offenders, consistent with security and classification restraints, to have visits with family members and friends. Group Religions Services are no longer being conducted.
