About
Charting the transformation from segregation and desegregation in Texas prisons--which resulted in Texas prisons becoming one of the most desegregated places in America--this book chronicles the pivotal steps in the process, including prison director George J. Beto's 1965 decision to allow inmates of different races to coexist in the same prison setting, defying Southern norms.
