Texas History: Infamous People Who Did Time in Prison
I have never seen or visited any prison or jail facility in Texas, and I have no desire to ever stop by as a prisoner or visitor. The last thing I want to do is give up my freedom and the ability to do what I want to do when I want to do it.
But there have been so many people that have gone into a Texas prison and some of them are very well known. Most of the names that you see below relate to a high-profile crime of some sort.
Whether people know your name on the outside or not, it would be a horrible feeling knowing that you couldn’t walk outside and get some fresh air when you wanted to do so.
This Should Be a Lesson for All Texas Criminals
One thing is certain, Texas is not going to take it easy on you if you decide to commit a crime here in the Lone Star State. In this state, we hold people accountable for their actions. In Texas, it doesn’t matter who you are, if you do the crime, you will be forced to do the time.
