Michael Unit (MI) is a Texas Department of Criminal Justice men's prison located in unincorporated Anderson County, Texas. The unit is along Farm to Market Road 2054, {{convert|4|mi|km}} south of Tennessee Colony. The unit, on {{convert|20518|acre|ha}} of land, is co-located with the Beto, Coffield, and Powledge prison units and the Gurney Transfer Unit.[1] The unit is in proximity to Palestine and the Rusk ironworks,[2] and it is in about a one-hour driving distance from Dallas.[3] The Michael Unit opened in September 1987.[1] Texas officials referred to the facility as "model for the future."[4] Robert Perkinson, author of The Rise of America's Prison Empire, described Michael as "one of the meanest lockups" in Texas.[5] OperationsMichael was one of the first prisons to no longer use the "telephone-pole" layout,[6] which has central pickets with dead-end cell blocks extending from them.[7] The telephone-pole layout, while inexpensive to build, is difficult to police without building tenders, convicts paid to police other convicts. Instead Michael uses a modular pod design, which allows for riot control and visual surveillance. Most pods have double-bunk, reinforced concrete cells with security features such as slit windows and bolted-down metal toilets. Some pods have dormitories.[6] Michael was one of several new prisons to have the ability to have many prisoners in extended lockdowns.[2] State officials said that Michael's features allowing for extended lockdowns of prisoners were modeled on the United States Penitentiary, Marion.[6] Notable prisonersCurrent:
