Correctional Treatment Facility The Correctional Treatment Facility (CTF), originally constructed by the District of Columbia, Department of Corrections, was activated in May 1992 as a specialized medium security institution. The eight-story structure stands on 10.2 acres next to the Central Detention Facility off 19th and D Streets, SE, in Washington, DC. The Correctional Treatment Facility consists of five separate, multi-story buildings that are situated immediately adjacent to each other, presenting the appearance of one large structure. The facility design provides for the security perimeter. Each building contains separate areas for administration, programs, housing, and services that allow the facility to function as a whole. Each single room has a window and each 32-room unit has a television room, a recreation yard, and a study room. Housing units within CTF range from 16 to 42 single beds. In March 1997, the District of Columbia entered into a 20-year contract with the Corrections Corporation of America for the operation and management of the facility. This contract calls for the Correctional Treatment Facility to continue to serve the Department of Corrections as a medium security resource for male and female inmates and to serve other specialized confinement needs of the Department of Corrections as that agency’s requirements evolve.
