I have finally decided on a research paper topic for my Texas Politics class. I choose to talk about the Texas prison system. I will breakdown my paper into talking about the history of the system, the demographics of the state and how it relates to prison population, and the crime data of the prisoners. A lot of the paper will be about comparing Texas to the national average levels. It was difficult to decide what part topic to choose because people need to decide what they are passionate about and find interesting. I think Texas prisons are interesting because they have the largest prison population in the country yet they don't have the highest incarceration rate per 100,000. Louisiana leads in that category.
I will be spending multiple days working on my paper. It has to be 15 pages and I absolutely hate writing. It will be interesting in how I will breakdown my paper and make it flow.
