Prisoners get CHARGED for water? How is that not some sort of human rights violation?

Doesn't surprise me. Texans don't give a shit about human rights.

A surprising number of us do ... but we live in a state where the Legislature convenes special sessions to nullify voter propositions and ban city ordinances that don't toe the party line. It's a bizarre place to live, and I can't wait to GTFO to just about anywhere else.
