Texas State Penitentiary at Huntsville or Huntsville Unit (HV), nicknamed "Walls Unit", is a Texas state prison located in Huntsville, Texas, United States. The approximately 54.36-acre (22.00 ha) facility, near downtown Huntsville, is operated by the Correctional Institutions Division of the Texas Department of Criminal Justice.[1] The facility, the oldest Texas state prison, opened in 1849.[2]
The unit houses the execution chamber of the State of Texas. It is the most active execution chamber in the United States, with 587 (as of February 28, 2024)[3] executions since 1982, when the death penalty was reinstated in Texas (see Lists of people executed in Texas).[4]
