While this all is interesting, the original point began with the cost of
locking up more people. So f$%king what if TX can lock them up per inmate
cheaper if we are still paying 1% over the national average as a % of total
state buget?

The bottom line is all that matters to me. I'm not going to prison anytime
soon. Good for f$%king Texas; they can lock them up cheap. Lower my f$%king
taxes TOO! Too many motherf$%kers are in jail in Texas....PERIOD!
