The Coalition of Texans with Disabilities
T
he GEO Group Foundation donated $5,000 to The Coalition of Texans with Disabilities. The Coalition supports many programs including the Pilot Program for Non-Violent Offenders. This program is used in the criminal justice system when individuals with mental illness or intellectual disabilities are charged with crimes but deemed incompetent to stand trial. When this occurs the person must be restored to competency and be able to participate in his or her defense before the legal process can continue.
