America is a very punitive society, particularly when it comes to those convicted of a crime. This attitude is especially apparent in places like Texas, where many people believe we should “lock them up and throw away the key.” But inmates in correctional facilities are still human beings with needs and rights, and they deserve the same protections the rest of us do.
If you or someone you love has suffered civil rights violations while in the custody of the state or federal government, contact the skilled attorneys at Ellwanger Henderson today. We are among the nation’s premier civil rights firms, and we bring decades of combined legal experience to each case and client.
Incarcerated individuals in Texas have rights that include (but are not limited to):
Two of the most common and dangerous violations of prisoners’ rights include withholding medical care and acts of violence committed or allowed by corrections officers. These can be fatal for inmates and are frequently the basis of wrongful death claims.

Thankfully, however, there are attorneys at our firm who are passionate about fighting for individuals who may not be able to fight for themselves.
