Pam Lychner State Jail
The Pam Lychner State Jail is located in Humble, Texas and operated by the Texas Department of Criminal Justice. This facility can house a maximum of 2,276 male inmates. The Pam Lychner State Jail features the Texas State Jail Substance Abuse Treatment Program.
The State Jail Substance Abuse program is a multi-modal program designed to accommodate the diverse characteristics and individual needs of the State Jail population.
The program structure comprises two tiers and the components for both tiers include clinical groups and individual sessions, therapeutic processing, cognitive behavioral restructuring, recovery and self-help groups, DWI interventions, and family services. The two tiers are 60-90 days or 90-120 days based on an Addiction Severity Instrument (ASI) assessment.
Formerly known as the Atascocita State Jail, the name of the facility was changed after Pam Lychner, a victim's rights activist, died on board TWA Flight 800 with her daughters on July 17, 1996. The TDCJ board unanimously voted to rename the facility to Pam Lychner State Jail.
