Secure Correctional Facility is defined as which of the following?

• A. A confinement facility operated by a private company not under state contract.
• B. A federal prison.
• C. A municipal jail.
• D. A municipal or county jail; or a confinement facility operated by or under a contract with any division of the Texas Department of Criminal Justice.

Answer: (D)

Secure Correctional Facility means a place where people are confined under government control or through a contract with the Texas Department of Criminal Justice. This includes municipal or county jails and facilities operated by or under contract with any division of the Texas Department of Criminal Justice. It excludes federal prisons, which are under federal authority, and private confinement facilities that are not under a state contract. So the definition properly covers local jails and state-contracted or state-operated facilities.
