Are sex offenders place in general population?

I have wondered about that. There are so many of them nowdays that I don't see how you could segregate them.

Thanks to the wonderful world of the internet, I am working on my computer during an interminable legislative hearing (let's hear it for multitasking!). I just happen to be sitting next to Ed Owens, deputy high muckety-muck with TDCJ, and he says that sex offenders are housed in general population.

How 'bout that for TDCAA service, folks!

Notwithstanding Shannon's speedy response, my answer is: In the counties I have worked in, there are TOO MANY sex offenders in the general population!

And, you are no doubt busy trying to find housing for them elsewhere.
