History
The Mountain View State School closed in 1975, and its boys were sent to other facilities. The Texas Department of Corrections bought the land and buildings. The facility re-opened as a women's prison. The Mountain View Unit opened in July 1975.
Around 2001 several inmates at Mountain View were in a Windham School District effort to translate textbooks into braille.
