Employee of TDCJ chair nominated to join him on board

One of the nominees up Monday to the Texas Board of Criminal Justice overseeing the state prison system is actually an employee of its current chairman Oliver Bell, according to her LinkedIn page, which informs us that Annette Raggette has been Vice President of Oliver Bell, Inc. from June 2003 to the present. Her bio on the TDCJ board page does not list the affiliation, focusing on a more recent, concurrent post as President and CEO of something called The Crescent Group, Inc., about which not much information is available online. Small world, huh?
