The Texas Prison System is one of the largest in the United States, managing over 140 facilities. It is operated by the Texas Department of Criminal Justice (TDCJ), which oversees the incarceration, rehabilitation, and reintegration of inmates. The system includes state prisons, private prisons, and county jails, housing a diverse population of offenders. In addition to housing inmates, the Texas Prison System focuses on rehabilitation programs, including education and vocational training. These initiatives aim to reduce recidivism and help inmates reintegrate into society upon release. The system also faces challenges, such as overcrowding and funding issues.
