Travis County Correctional Campus houses the majority of the County’s inmate population. Comprised of 12 housing buildings, the complex has a design capacity of more than 2,800 beds in a combination of general population, special risk, and special need beds for male and female inmates. While the inmate population has not grown in recent years, an increasing number of inmates are presenting medical and mental health conditions, and with greater acuity levels than in the past. With a declining inmate population, the challenge is no longer about having a sufficient number of beds - it’s about having the right type of beds to address a changing, high need inmate population.

Travis County retained CGL Ricci Greene, in association with Broaddus and Associates, to undertake an Adult Correctional System Master Plan to review the operations and facilities used to house pre-adjudicated and adjudicated adult offenders under County jurisdiction. This is the second Master Plan commissioned by Travis County to address the long term functional and physical plant needs of its justice and civic facilities.
