Located at 1995 Helton Rd in Pampa, TX, Baten Unit carefully assigns inmates based on their custody level, considering factors like criminal history. Baten Unit offers diverse educational and vocational programs aimed at equipping offenders for successful reintegration into society and reducing recidivism. Through these initiatives, inmates gain skills and confidence, fostering personal growth and resilience.

The Baten Unit is a male correctional facility with a capacity of 188 inmates, housing individuals classified under custody level IS. Situated on approximately 1,211 acres, with an additional 632 leased acres, the unit operates in a co-located space adjacent to the Jordan Unit. Although it does not engage in agricultural or manufacturing operations, it ensures smooth facility operations through unit maintenance.

In terms of medical services, Baten Unit offers ambulatory medical and dental care, including telemedicine services, all managed by Texas Tech.
