Seven months after Tammie Lewis was granted parole, she is still in Marlin Transfer Facility waiting to go home. Officials wonât release her from the Texas state prison until she completes a six-month program focused on decision-making.* But she hasnât been able to finish the program because, after waitlists and other delays, classes normally taught in person were suspended due to coronavirus, says Lewisâs sister, Temeka Hildreth. Now that classes have resumed, theyâre by correspondence. âTheyâve got them in their dorm doing packets,â Hildreth said last week.
