VIII. CONFINEMENT: DOC (DC Jail/CDF), CCA (CTF)
& BOP (Prisons)
The District of Columbia utilizes two jails to securely detain persons awaiting future
court hearings, USPC actions, to serve a sentence of one year or less, or six months prior
to a man's release from the Bureau of Prisons. The Central Detention Facility (CDF) is
commonly referred to as the DC Jail. CDF located at 1901 D Street, SE is operated by
the DC Department of Corrections (DOC). The other jail is the Correctional Treatment
Facility (CTF) located at 1901 E Street, SE is a for-profit facility operated by the
Correctional Corporation of America (CCA). CTF detains all incarcerated women, low
security level men, inmates in need of infirmary care, children charged as adults, youth
held pending the completion of their Youth Rehabilitation Act Study (YRAS), and more
recently, men returning home from the BOP six months prior to their release to assist
with their reentry.
Children Charged as Adults: Detained youth (male and female) charged as adults are
held in segregated units at the CTF. If the youth is sentenced to prison he remains in the
“juvenile unit’ at CTF until his 18 th birthday, at which time he will be immediately
transferred to the DC Jail, and shortly thereafter to a BOP facility.
Both jails are located on the grounds of the DC General Hospital complex and accessible
via automobile, metro rail orange or blue line @ Stadium Armory, Metrobus: E2, 32, 34,

Gender Classification and Housing of DOC Inmates: Transgender, transsexual, intersex,
and gender variant persons incarcerated by DC Department of Corrections (DOC)

Transgender Committee (TC) (medical practitioner, mental health clinician, DOC
supervisor, volunteer member of the transgender community) will: review documents and
information that identifies inmate as transgender or intersex, interview inmate, and assess
inmate’s vulnerability to victimization if housed in general population. TC’s assessment
of where inmate should be housed based on: inmate’s assessment of vulnerability, safety
and security of inmate and staff, housing availability, gender identity and genitalia. TC
