Texas Prison Museum (502 words)
The new museum exhibits trace the development of the Texas prison system from its humble beginnings in 1848 to the system of today: a system that incarcerates approximately 150,000 offenders with a 2.5 billion dollar annual budget.
In 1924 the State of Texas took control of all executions and prescribed electrocution as the method.
One of the most chilling exhibits at the Texas Prison Museum is "Old Sparky," the decommissioned electric chair in which 361 prisoners were executed between 1924 and 1964.
