Fort Worth, TX Fort Worth Transitional Center View
Fort Worth Transitional Center is a community corrections and transitional custody facility in Fort Worth, Tarrant County, Texas.

Facilities of this type typically house people assigned through criminal justice agencies for transitional supervision, reentry programming, parole or probation-related placement, or short-term custody connected to a sentence. They usually do not handle all local arrests; pretrial detainees arrested in Tarrant County are more commonly booked through the county jail system. Its role is to support custody, supervision, and transition back into the community under applicable court, jail, or correctional agency rules.
