I haven't had a chance to read the report by the Justice Policy Institute on Texas sentencing policy, but Ann has AP's coverage here, and the full report is here. Democracy Now! did a piece on the report, streaming video for which is available here.
The study emphasized racial disparities, said AP: "blacks are sent to prison at a rate five times higher that whites in Texas. Latinos were incarcerated at twice the rate of whites, the report said."
