Plantation Slavery in Texas, 2010

I want to thank George Leake for sending me a link to a really amazing article in this week's Chronicle, detailing the shameful history of the Texas Prison system, its roots in plantation slavery, and the unfortunate influence its example exerts across the country...A remarkable, important story...

(Good to know the Chronicle remains the last outpost for real journalism in the city...Easy to believe, sometimes, they exist only to shill South-by, or provide snooty movie reviews...Then an article like this comes along, reminds you just how important they are)...
