I am all for this because as a Significant Other I would like to be able to hold my man's hand instead of always seeing him through the glass...I drive 2 1/2 hours EVERY weekend & this would be a nice change!
Michelle supported: Advocate for Changes in Texas's Inmate Classification Plan to Include Significant OthersMy husband is currently incarcerated and we have not had a contact visit since June 2024 we only had 2 contact visits and that was it. I hope that signing this petition helps other in the same predicament and not just the person who created the petition!
Adrianna supported: Advocate for Changes in Texas's Inmate Classification Plan to Include Significant OthersMy fiancé and I were planning on having a small ceremony next year after he gets out with us and the kids. We are practically common law without the legal paperwork. We shouldn’t have to file for common law status or even get married behind bars just to be able to have a contact visit. In his eyes I’m already his wife and I’m the only person he wants to visit him. So I don’t understand especially in this time and age with so many couples not even getting married but are in long term commitment relationships how we cannot be classified for contact visits..
Amanda supported: Advocate for Changes in Texas's Inmate Classification Plan to Include Significant OthersThis has been an issue for so long. Forcing people into a marriage simply to hold a hand or give a hug!!? I am my LOs only visitor and we have a grown son. He is my heart and there is NO reason for our relationship to be any less than that of a couple who have only known each other in prison and married only to have contact. IT’sTIME FOR CHANGE!
Heather supported: Advocate for Changes in Texas's Inmate Classification Plan to Include Significant OthersI am mother of child but also ex-wife and cannot have a contact visit even when I bring our child bc a copy of AOP is not enough to TDCJ for our son to be able to hug and touch his father. His father and I are back together as a couple and all we want is to be able to touch each other and rebuild our marriage and TDCJ is preventing us from progressing.
Marisela supported: Advocate for Changes in Texas's Inmate Classification Plan to Include Significant OthersTHIS SHOULD BE A NO BRAINER. ABSOLUTELY WOULD GIVE THE INMATE HOPE AND A REASON TO LOOK FORWARD TO SOMETHING OTHER THAN THE DAILY STRUGGLES THEY FACE. MY LOVED ONE H/B INCARCERATED FOR 26 YEARS (A VICTIM OF THE TIMES) IF HE DIDN'T GET THOSE VISITS FM US HE WOULD LOSE HOPE. YES WE'RE FAMILY, BUT IT SHOULD EASILY INCLUDE SIGNIFICANT OTHERS REGARDLESS OF A PIECE OF PAPER. THAT IS YET ANOTHER WAY TO USE THEIR "power" OVER HUMAN BEINGS.
Diana supported: Advocate for Changes in Texas's Inmate Classification Plan to Include Significant OthersYour words truly moved me. I feel your heart, and I want you to know you're not alone. My husband, Arnulfo, is also serving a 35-year sentence and has been incarcerated for 26 years. He, too, was denied parole with the same 2D code—despite creating personal development programs for others, mentoring peers, earning the support of staff, and being recognized as a leader in rehabilitation and reentry work.
It’s heartbreaking to see men like Alexander, who have clearly changed, be passed over time and again. I signed your petition with compassion and prayer—believing change will come. I’m also asking for support in my husband’s case. If you'd like to read and share it, here is his petition:

You’re not alone. Keep going. You're making a difference.
Leila supported: Grant Alexander Ives ParoleI've had the blessing to know Alexander Ives , personally as a Prison fellowship academy group member and my brother IN CHRIST .
The man I have come to know is not a violent man and that's the truth .
But what I do see is a man who excels in everything he puts his hand to & contributes to his environment.
He has goals set for his release and there is no doubt he will continue to be a asset to the community when released.
As a concerned tax paying citizen I'm requesting that parole please allow Alexander to come home to his family and loved ones .
Thank you
Matthew supported: Grant Alexander Ives ParoleYou’re not alone — a community of supporters is ready to back you.
