The Retrieve Unit[1] (TDCJ code: RV), later the Wayne Scott Unit,[2] was a Texas Department of Criminal Justice (TDCJ) prison farm located in unincorporated Brazoria County, Texas.

[3][4] The unit, southwest of Houston,[5] is along County Road 290, 8 miles (13 km) south of Angleton.

[9] In 1963, before racial desegregation occurred, the facility housed second offenders, habitual criminals, and African Americans over the age of 25.

[11] The prison received its final name, Wayne Scott Unit, on February 1, 2002, after a former TDCJ executive director.

According to Bryan Collier, the executive director of the prison agency, the cost to revamp the main building would exceed $30,000,000.
