Did she really need directions to Ellis, or was she trying to make sure multiple people were aware of her presence and that she was headed to Ellis in case something happened to her?
Ellis is in the middle of nowhere. There are lots of TDCJ facilities in Huntsville. She could have gone to one, then to another, but none of them were Ellis. Huntsville is a prison town. I can see someone showing up in town: "OK..I'm in Huntsville, the prison should be here"
You would need a good quality Rand-McNally's to find your way to Ellis from Huntsville.
Sadly, the Texas prison system was originally built on former plantations and I don't want to get into controversy, but it was built for chain gangs and stuff like like. Anyway, you have a lot of these prisons all sprawled out.
To add to more confusion: I don't believe inmates were executed at Ellis. They are brought into the Huntsville Unit and executed there.
