Texas Tough?: An Analysis of Incarceration and Crime Trends in The Lone Star State

This site explores the TX prison population. The claim to be #1 in terms of TX's proportion of its population "under supervision" appears to be valid based on this 2002 data. Of interest here are the comparisons between TX and some other key states and some issues related to race. I don't have the death penalty data to hand.
I will look a little more. RK
