Michael was one of the first prisons to no longer use the "telephone-pole" layout,〔Perkinson, Robert. ''Texas Tough: The Rise of America's Prison Empire''. First Edition. Metropolitan Books, 2010. 315. ISBN 978-0-8050-8069-8.〕 which has central pickets with dead-end cell blocks extending from them.〔Perkinson, Robert. ''Texas Tough: The Rise of America's Prison Empire''. First Edition. Metropolitan Books, 2010. 44. ISBN 978-0-8050-8069-8.〕 The telephone-pole layout, while inexpensive to build, is difficult to police without building tenders, convicts paid to police other convicts. Instead Michael uses a modular pod design, which allows for riot control and visual surveillance. Most pods have double-bunk, reinforced concrete cells with security features such as slit windows and bolted-down metal toilets. Some pods have dormitories.〔 Michael was one of several new prisons to have the ability to have many prisoners in extended lockdowns.〔 State officials said that Michael's features allowing for extended lockdowns of prisoners were modeled on the United States Penitentiary, Marion.〔
