The Beauford H. Jester Complex,[2] formerly the Jester State Prison Farm, refers to a complex of Texas Department of Criminal Justice prisons for men in unincorporated Fort Bend County, Texas, United States.

Texas State Highway 99 (Grand Parkway) bisects the prison property.

[8] This system has been called "slavery by another name", as lessees operated with little oversight by the state as to their treatment of convicts.

[10] The state essentially assigned room and board to employers who leased convicts; it had few prisons until late in the 19th century.

[16] Steven Spielberg's first theatrical release, The Sugarland Express (1974), was set in and partially filmed at the prison complex.
