From its opening until several years before 2010, the Gatesville Unit was primarily a work farm, and staff members placed new prisoners in the fields to work. Due to reductions in staffing levels and new security mandates, the prison's agricultural operations were curtailed.〔Perkinson, Robert. ''Texas Tough: The Rise of America's Prison Empire''. First Edition. Metropolitan Books, 2010. p. (35 ). ISBN 978-0-8050-8069-8.〕 In 2008 the Texas Board of Criminal Justice unanimously voted to rename the Gatesville Unit after Christina Melton Crain, the first female chairperson of the Texas Board of Criminal Justice; on that day the name change was effective immediately.〔 Crain, a Dallas lawyer, left the Texas Board of Criminal Justice in May 2008.〔Jennings, Diane.
