Kids serving hard time in Texas prisons — what happens when they age into adulthood behind bars and are released into society? Also: The shooter who killed two journalists on live TV in Virginia wanted notoriety. Should the media deny that to him by limiting coverage of his identity? Plus: Why the speed of traffic may not be the best measure of how easily we get around. And: What went wrong with a state program targeting obesity in middle schools. Don’t forget: The week in Texas politics. All on today’s Texas Standard.
