ICE detainees are housed at MTC facilities for very short periods of time, and during that time, MTC provides these men and women with opportunities to further their education, to participate in meaningful activities, and to prepare in all ways to return to their homes and families.

MTC Medical, a subsidiary of MTC, provides quality medical, dental, and mental healthcare to detainees at our facilities. A professional staff of doctors, nurses, and other healthcare professionals ensures detainees are healthy during their time at MTC facilities.
