Now, you might be wondering, "Just how many prisons are we talking about here?" Well, strap yourselves in, because Gatesville's got quite the collection:
-
The Christina Melton Crain Unit (formerly Gatesville Unit): This granddaddy of Gatesville prisons has been around longer than your grandpa's toupee. Originally a school for wayward youngsters (who knew toddlers could be so bad?), it's now a full-fledged adult prison.
-
The Hilltop Unit: This prison boasts a name that sounds more like a luxury retirement community than a place where people are locked up. Don't be fooled by the fancy moniker, though. Hilltop is all about corrections, not concierge services.
-
The Dr. Lane Murray Unit: Here's a fun fact: Dr. Murray wasn't a prison warden with a medical degree (although that would have been pretty cool). He was actually a bigwig in the Texas prison system. Now his name graces this particular facility.
-
The Linda Woodman State Jail: Now this one's for the ladies (though not the kind you'd take out on a Friday night). The Linda Woodman State Jail houses female offenders, offering "accommodation" Gatesville-style.
-
The Patrick O'Daniel Unit (formerly Mountain View Unit): And last, but certainly not least, we have the Patrick O'Daniel Unit, home to Texas's female death row. Now, that's not exactly a place you'd want to find yourself checking in for a weekend stay.
Bonus: There's also the Alfred D. Hughes Unit, the lone wolf prison for the fellas in Gatesville.
So there you have it, folks! A comprehensive (and slightly comedic) guide to the correctional facilities of Gatesville, Texas. Remember, when it comes to prisons, Gatesville's got you covered...maybe a little too covered.
