It’s a known fact that Texas prisons are no joke. We aren’t talking about “city jails” like the ones in Houston or Dallas even though those can be pretty bad in their own right.
We’re talking about TDCJ (Texas Department of Criminal Justice) and ask anyone that’s been to one of their prisons and they will tell you that those are 4 letters you DON’T WANT to hear. Even some county jails have notorious reputations for being violent, unsafe conditions and even being “understaffed” to the point of where the inmates run it and not the guards.
