Tarrant County Corrections Center

Designed to house prisoners either awaiting trial, transfer or serving short jail sentences, the structure handles both male and female inmates.

During its first few years, the facility was one of the best in the state; its warden reported that it had "not had one piece of graffiti written on the walls, one toilet stopped up, [or] one inmate struck or injured".

[4] The facility began suffering from overcrowding around 2010, so Fort Worth constructed a new jail, the Lon Evans Corrections Center, to handle more dangerous prisoners.

The program, informally referred to as the "God Pod", was organized by the county sheriff and prison chaplain and run by a team of volunteers.

[7][8] In 2000, two former prisoners and a local resident sued the Corrections Center, arguing that the program was a violation of religious freedom, since it allowed only for teaching of Christian principles.
