Telford has mental health beds as part of its medical facility, which could account for violent or erratic behaviour of some of the inmates.

Elvire - ALL of TDCJ's units have the potential to be violent environments. Inmates are housed together depending on their crimes and their behaviour, but those serving time for a non-violent offence are just as likely as any other inmate to be violent in a specific setting. Equally, those serving sentences for a violent act, may have impecable records of behaviour while in prison with no displays of violence at all.
