Lexington Assessment and Reception Center

Lexington Assessment and Reception Center (LARC) is a maximum-security state prison for men located in Lexington, Cleveland County, Oklahoma, owned and operated by the Oklahoma Department of Corrections.

[1] The LARC complex also hosts the medium-security Lexington Correctional Center and the Rex Thompson Minimum Security Unit.

In May 2015, state officials said LARC was operating at 112% of capacity, and that overcrowding and understaffing had created security issues.

Medium security offenders can attend the Lexington Career Tech Skills Center on the grounds of the facility.

Second Chance Sanctuary, an animal rescue, in conjunction with Friends of Folks, operate a program for long-term offenders to train dogs to be donated to nursing homes or for use as companion dogs.
