Stringfellow Unit Overview
TDCJ's A. M. "Mac" Stringfellow Unit profile lists the unit at 1200 FM 655, Rosharon, TX 77583, four miles west of FM 521 on FM 655. The phone number is (281) 595-3413. Stringfellow is a Correctional Institutions Division prison for male prisoners. TDCJ lists the custody levels as G1 through G4, Outside Trusty, and Substance Abuse. That last label is central to the page because Stringfellow has special treatment functions that make it different from a plain housing unit.
The unit was established in July 1908 and is ACA accredited, with TDCJ listing accreditation since April 2007. Its capacity is 1,212. Stringfellow is co-located with Ramsey and Terrell on the large Rosharon agricultural complex. The facility map and official source notes separate these units by address and TDCJ profile even though they share the FM 655 setting. A prisoner assigned to Stringfellow should be looked up by TDCJ number, SID number, or name in the state locator, then confirmed by current facility before a visit or mail item is planned.
Stringfellow Unit Inmate Lookup
The TDCJ Inmate Information Search is the official search path for Stringfellow prisoners. Search by TDCJ number or SID number when possible. Name searches can work, but common names should be checked against available profile details. The current facility field is the key result when the purpose is visiting, mail, or eCommDirect. A profile that shows another unit should be handled under that other unit's rules.
Do not use the county jail roster as a Stringfellow roster. The county roster helps with recent arrests, local jail holds, and pretrial custody. TDCJ helps after a person becomes a sentenced state prisoner. The Brazoria County jail inmate records route can still matter when a person is waiting for TDCJ transfer, but Stringfellow custody starts with the state locator and the TDCJ unit profile.
- Open the TDCJ locator and enter the TDCJ number, SID number, or name fields.
- Compare returned matches with identifiers and demographic fields shown by TDCJ.
- Confirm A. M. "Mac" Stringfellow Unit as the current facility.
- Use TDCJ rules for visits, mail, and purchases once Stringfellow is confirmed.
Stringfellow Profile Image
The image below comes from the official TDCJ Stringfellow Unit page, which supplies the address, capacity, custody levels, treatment programs, operations, education, and medical details.
The screenshot anchors the facility-specific facts to TDCJ, which is the correct source for state-prison records and Stringfellow unit information.
Stringfellow Unit Address
Stringfellow's address and phone should be used for unit-specific questions after the prisoner's TDCJ assignment is confirmed. The FM 655 location is close to Ramsey and Terrell, so the unit name should be written clearly on mail and checked before travel. A mismatch between facility name, TDCJ number, and address can slow mail or lead to a wrong visit plan.

Stringfellow Unit Visitation
Visits to Stringfellow follow TDCJ visitation rules, including visitor approval, scheduling, identification, dress, and conduct requirements. County jail visiting hours do not apply. Because Stringfellow includes substance-abuse and special-treatment populations, a prisoner's program status or custody status may affect visit planning. Confirm current facility and eligibility before travel.
Family members should not rely on old county jail information after a prisoner transfers to TDCJ. A county booking page may show the earlier arrest, but TDCJ controls the current prison visit. Call the unit if the prisoner recently moved, if a minor child will visit, if accessibility help is needed, or if the locator result conflicts with older information.
| Visit Requirement | Stringfellow Unit Check |
|---|---|
| Current unit | Verify Stringfellow in the TDCJ locator. |
| Approval | Use TDCJ visitor approval procedures. |
| Scheduling | Follow TDCJ visitation instructions for the current unit. |
| Treatment status | Ask the unit when program status may affect the visit. |
Stringfellow Mail and Money
Stringfellow mail is governed by TDCJ inmate mail rules. Use the prisoner's committed name and TDCJ number when available. The unit's special treatment programs do not change the need for correct state-prison mail routing. TDCJ rules can restrict content, enclosures, packages, and publications. Legal mail may have separate handling, so the TDCJ mail page should be reviewed before sending anything tied to a deadline.
For commissary-style purchases, use TDCJ eCommDirect when the prisoner is eligible. eCommDirect is not the same as Brazoria County jail deposits. A prisoner in a substance-abuse or special-treatment program may also have limits or schedules that families should verify through TDCJ channels.
| Need | Correct Stringfellow Source |
|---|---|
| Custody confirmation | TDCJ locator |
| TDCJ mail rules with TDCJ number | |
| Purchases | eCommDirect, subject to eligibility |
| County booking | County jail records only before transfer or for local arrest history |
Stringfellow Treatment Programs
Stringfellow's most distinctive details are its treatment and special operations. TDCJ lists the Sex Offender Treatment Program and the Special Needs Substance Abuse Felony Punishment Facility. Official source notes also list a kosher kitchen, Southern Region Distribution and Freight Terminal, construction carpentry, diesel mechanics, literacy and GED, CHANGES, and cognitive intervention. These are not county jail services. They are TDCJ prison programs tied to state custody and placement.
Medical capabilities include ambulatory care, dental care, mental health, digital medical services, electronic clinics, and CPAP housing. The combination of mental health capability, substance-abuse programming, SOTP, and Special Needs SAFPF means Stringfellow has treatment-related roles beyond general prison housing. Public records will not disclose all program details for a specific prisoner, but the unit profile explains why mail, visiting, and daily schedule questions may depend on custody and program placement.
- SOTP
- Sex Offender Treatment Program, a TDCJ treatment track listed for Stringfellow.
- SAFPF
- Substance Abuse Felony Punishment Facility, a structured treatment setting ordered through the criminal justice system.
- Kosher kitchen
- A unit food-service operation listed by TDCJ for prisoners who qualify under agency rules.
Stringfellow Records Access
A Stringfellow record is a TDCJ record. It can help confirm current facility, prison identifiers, sentence information, and release or parole-related fields. It does not act as a county booking report. For broader local context, the Brazoria County inmate population includes state-prison capacity located in the county, but state-prison custody is still separate from the local jail. That separation is especially important for Stringfellow because its treatment role may cause families to search by program name instead of by the TDCJ locator.
If the TDCJ locator does not show Stringfellow, check spelling, TDCJ number, SID number, and alternate names. If the person is still in county jail waiting on TDCJ transfer, the state profile may not yet show the final unit. If the person moved to Ramsey, Terrell, Memorial, Clemens, or another TDCJ unit, follow the current unit's rules.
Note: Confirm Stringfellow custody and program-related visit limits with TDCJ before travel or mail.
