Stringfellow Main Unit

I, John Hammond, recently visited the Stringfellow Main Unit for the first time and was impressed by its stunning chapel—unlike any other I’ve seen. While older prisons often have chapels, newer units typically do not. Curious about its history, I learned from Wikipedia that the unit opened in July 1908 as part of the Ramsey Prison Farm, incorporating former plantations. Before desegregation in 1963, the Ramsey II Unit housed African American prisoners over 25. It was renamed in 2006 in honor of Alfred McIntyre “Mac” Stringfellow, a former TDCJ board chairman.
God bless, Pastor John Hammond
