minus-squareyeahiknow3@lemmy.dbzer0.comlinkfedilinkarrow-up0·edit-23 months agoViolent criminals are a fairly small fraction of total inmates, and a whopping 76% of the Texas jail population hasn’t even been convicted of a crime. Also, Texas loves rapists and most of them aren’t in prison anyway. Not to mention Abbott just pardoned that convicted homicidal murderer.
