The Texas Department of Criminal Justice's internal investigation gave deeper insight into the deadly inmate escape earlier this year and reviewed plan going forward.

The Texas Department of Criminal Justice released its internal investigation into the deadly inmate escape that happened earlier this year and reviewed the agency's transport recommendations from now on.

When Gonzalo Lopez escaped a prison transport bus in May, he was on the run for three weeks. During that time, he killed five members of the Carson family from Tomball. The report says the most significant factors contributing to the escape were staffing shortages and a lapse in security. Among the 19 new recommendations, one is to do away with letting inmates know in advance of their transport date. They also recommended strip searches and notification that inmates are receiving certain publications. In this case, Lopez ordered serval publications regarding survival techniques, weapons manufacturing and manipulation. Those materials were denied, but no administrators were notified of the attempted delivery.
