On Thursday’s Houston Matters: In light of recent revelations about evidence planting in a Texas prison, we take a closer look at who advocates for the rights of inmates in the Lone Star State.

Also this hour: Nearly 100 unmarked graves near Sugar Land will be exhumed after a judge earlier this month granted Fort Bend ISD permission to go ahead with the process in order to build a new facility for students. We learn what the process entails and what can be learned about the bodies.

And writer Rick Bragg talks about his book, The Best Cook in the World: Tales from My Momma’s Table.
