TDCJ is expanding its testing to continue to keep COVID-19 out of our 104 prison units. Incoming offenders arriving at our 24 intake facilities are now being screened for fevers. Anyone with a 100.4 temperature or higher will be medically isolated and treated following our contagious disease protocol. Employees and staff had already been being temperature screened before entry to the units. Anyone with a fever of 100.4 or higher would be denied entrance. All visitation is still suspended. #TDCJ
