TPCA Family Mediators
Need help with navigating the TDCJ system? Under the direction Director of Family Support, Tatiana Santollo and Assistant Director Rebeca Alvarez our Family Mediators are volunteers who help affected families navigate their advocacy needs of their loved ones within the TDCJ units. They accomplish this by educating the affected family members and acting as liaisons between affected family members, unit wardens, and various TDCJ administrative personnel. Our Family Mediators are focused on the units within a given TDCJ region. They are trained to guide family members through the process of advocating for their incarcerated loved ones.
