As a federal institution, TCMDC plays a vital role in the broader correctional system. When state prison systems face capacity constraints, TCMDC accept state-sentenced inmates to ensure secure and humane housing. Our facility is designated to carry out the ultimate sentence of the law. TCMDC houses both federal and state death row inmates and are authorized to conduct executions through lethal injection, electrocution, and by hanging, in accordance with federal and local protocols.
