In December, 1994, the Montford Unit was opened in Lubbock County, beginning with a 400-man Trusty Camp. Prison trusties are those inmates whose nonviolent offenses, good behavior, and parole eligibility have earned them the privilege of working outside prison walls.

Faith-based dorm

In 2010, Simple Acts Ministry helped open the first faith-based dorm at Montford. The dorm houses 50 prisoners who have been screened by the prison chaplain and who have agreed to follow a strict set of rules in order to stay.
