The Texas Department of Criminal Justice (TDCJ) manages the operation of Texas state prisons, state jails, and parole system. It has two divisions. The Institutional Division (ID) manages and operates Texas prisons for the confinement of adult felony offenders. The Parole Division (PD) operates the state’s adult parole system and supervises offenders who are on parole or mandatory supervision. The Parole Division does not decide whether to grant, deny, or revoke parole to individual offenders.
