Texas History: Infamous People Who Did Time in Prison

While I have never seen or visited any prison or jail facility in Texas, I have no desire to stop by as a prisoner or visitor. The last thing I ever 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. But I can promise you, the last place you ever want to do is end up behind bars. 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
