The Ron Jackson Juvenile Correctional Complex is within the jurisdiction of the Texas Department of Juvenile Justice located at 800 FM 3254, Brownwood, TX.

The facility provides supervision of youth in a safe, secure and humane environment. Services for youth include education, mental health, substance abuse, and health care. Medical and mental health are contracted services. Educational services are funded by the Texas Department of Education through local school districts.

A typical day in secure detention would involve hygiene, meals, school, structured physical and educational activities, and court appearance as scheduled. The average length of stay in secure state detention is approximately 60 days.

Juvenile offenders in Texas may find themselves court-ordered to reside in facilities under the Texas Juvenile Justice Department (TJJD). This applies to individuals aged 10 to 19, with most juvenile records sealed to allow for a fresh start. However, exceptions exist for serious offenders who may need to complete their sentence in the adult system, precluding the sealing of their records.

Among the facilities, the Ron Jackson State Juvenile Correctional Complex (Unit I), formerly known as Brownwood State School, plays a crucial role. It serves as the admissions and orientation center for TJJD inmates, primarily housing girls in secure residential care and younger boys in specialized programs. For example, CoNEXTions is a system-wide rehabilitative initiative aimed at fostering healthy relationships and community ties among youth.

In addition to rehabilitation efforts, TJJD institutions prioritize education, offering year-round programs facilitated by department-employed faculty. These educational initiatives encompass state-required assessments and national tests like the Test of Adult Basic Education (TABE), ensuring academic progress despite incarceration.

Moreover, TJJD emphasizes workforce development programs to equip youths with skills necessary for successful reintegration into society. These initiatives aim to prepare individuals for employment opportunities and foster self-sufficiency post-release.

Furthermore, the PAWS (Pairing Achievement With Success) program offers emotional support and practical skills through the assignment of canines to TJJD youth for a minimum of 12 weeks. This initiative not only teaches responsibility but also culminates in an Adoption Day, where youths showcase their dogs and their newfound skills to potential adopters, facilitating a sense of accomplishment and connection to the community.

Overall, TJJD's multifaceted approach combines education, workforce development, and innovative programs like PAWS to address the complex needs of juvenile offenders, promoting rehabilitation and successful reintegration into society.
