In criminal cases, what document informs inmates of their rights?

The correct choice is the document that specifically addresses the rights of individuals in custodial settings, which is Article 38.22 of the Code of Criminal Procedure (CCP). This article outlines the requirements for informing individuals of their rights when they are in custody and before they are interrogated. It ensures that inmates are aware of their rights to remain silent and to have an attorney present during questioning, among other protections.

While the Bill of Rights provides fundamental protections applicable to all individuals, including those who are incarcerated, it is more general and does not specifically address the procedural aspects of how these rights are communicated to individuals in custody. The Penal Code of Texas deals primarily with the definitions and penalties of offenses, not the rights of inmates. Appendix 5 of the law does not serve the same purpose as Article 38.22 in the context of informing inmates of their rights. Hence, Article 38.22 is the most relevant and specific document regarding the rights of inmates in criminal cases.
