McLennan County State Juvenile Correctional Facility (MCSJCF) is located in McLennan County on 107 acres, and is adjacent to the town of Mart, Texas, a small rural farming and ranching community about 20 miles southeast of Waco.
The facility currently serves as the gateway for all boys entering the Texas Youth Commission. Here, every male youth committed to TYC undergoes an extensive orientation and assessment process before receiving his regular facility assignment. Formal placement decisions are based on a number of factors like the youth’s age, psychological assessment, gender, treatment needs, proximity to home, educational goals, and committing offense.
In January, 2000, Unit One opened with dormitory style living units. Included in this complex are the buildings for maintenance, administration, education, warehouse, a gymnasium, security, cafeteria, infirmary and a human resource/business services complex located outside the secured perimeter fence
Texas Youth Commission programs along with specialized treatment programs equip youth with skills and support that will help them successfully return to their home communities through a 16-hour structured program with elements of correctional therapy, education, discipline training, student work and opportunities to earn community service hours. The goal is for youth to become productive and responsible citizens when they return to their home communities.
