In 2003
Texas had 4.6 percent of its adult population in jail, prison,
probation, or parole...
Compare the astronomical Texas incarceration rate to the
rates
of other nations in the world chart below. The true George W. Bush is
shown by his previous governorship of
Texas 1994 - 2000. Some of the Texas info is at the end of the
enclosed
timeline chart that illustrates the 5-fold increase of the U.S.
incarceration
rate since fellow "friendly-fascist" President Nixon declared a
War on Drugs in 1971.

| 1925 to 1977 incarceration rates are estimates
based on prison rates. 1925 to 1977 jail rates are estimated to be 50% of prison rates. The 2 rates are added together to get the 1925-77 incarceration rate. High*** and low** rates are shown for 1925-77. See endnotes. |

| The last link above
is a clickable U.S.
map of state-by-state incarceration rates. The rates are for inmates per 100,000 state population. Note that no state in the USA has a rate less than 200. Bush was governor of Texas 1994-2000. His legacy: Louisiana (1025) and TEXAS (1014) (under Bush) had the highest rates in 1999. In 2001 (see the 4 links just above) it was Louisiana (1013) and TEXAS (966) that again had the highest incarceration rates with 1% of their populations imprisoned. 2001 Federal incarceration rate of 49 was NOT added in to those numbers. In the USA it costs around $25,000 average per year for each inmate. Bureau of Justice Statistics (BJS): "At midyear 2005, nearly 4.7 percent of black males were in prison or jail, compared to 1.9 percent of Hispanic males, and 0.7 percent of white males. Among males in their late 20s, nearly 12 percent of black males, compared to 3.9 percent of Hispanic males and 1.7 percent of white males, were incarcerated" Above BJS quote is from the link below: |
