Type of Review:
This is the third annual review conducted by officers assigned to the San Antonio Region as directed
by HQDRO. This review was conducted again to ensure the facility is still in compliance with the
National Detention Standards Operations. At the time this inspection was conducted, the Agency had
one detainee held at this facility.
Review Summary:
It was determined through this review that the McLennan County Detention Center is presently

operating at "Good" overall level. The team members have identified a couple of minor issues. All
ofthese issues have been discussed with the facility's Administrators, and they have indicated that
they would be in full compliance with all the elements in each standard.

in the National Detention Standards were in compliance. Each standard is identified and a short
summary provided regarding standards or procedures that we discussed with their Administrator.

The finding under the standard for the Detainees Fund and Personal Property was in compliance
with the ICE National Detention Standards. The detainees' fund and property receipts were modified

ICE National Detention Standard. They did have one oftheir freezers thermostats stop working

throughout the inspection. The facility was well kept and their staffs were sharp in answering any
questions we had.
