Gee, we haven’t had a Miss America in years.  But Texas keeps showing up on the list of Worst Prisons.  Reeves County in Pecos, Texas, which was supposed to merely hold those “illegal aliens” until trial, just received the distinction of 8th Worst Prison in America.  The GEO Group, which operates Reeves, proudly declares itself “the largest detention/correctional facility under private management in the world.”  Largest isn’t best, here.  “Overcrowded and understaffed, Reeves has a reputation for horrifically inadequate medical care.”
