It is on a 58-acre (23 ha) lot, co-located with the Skyview Unit.[1] It has a capacity of 989 prisoners. The inmates live in traditional prison cells.[2]
The prison's inmates have mental disabilities. Prison guards assigned to Hodge take special training to come to this prison. As of 1999[update], most prisoners stay for about 20-60 days before returning to a general-purpose prison, but some stay long-term. Steve McVicker of the Dallas Observer wrote that at Hodge and Skyview "both guards and prisoners seem more relaxed than their counterparts at other prisons".[2]
