Texas just earned the dubious distinction of having the largest prison population in the country (163,190), surpassing the prison population of California (163,067), which has 13 million more citizens than Texas. The Lone Star State has more than 700,000 of its citizens under criminal justice control.
Jesus fucking christ, 'we' had to start shipping them off to islands when shit got that bad
As a comparison England/Wales has nearly 3x the population and only 80k incarcerated.
