Young Medical Facility Inmates
Young Medical Facility is a TDCJ facility in Dickinson. The TDCJ unit directory lists it for female inmates with G1, G2, and Outside Trusty custody levels. The same unit entry lists 43 acres, a capacity of 328, and medical care available 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
The facility is a medical hub site with ambulatory medical, dental, and mental health services. The research file describes Young as a Type I Geriatric Facility with infirmary, skilled care, assisted living, respiratory isolation, hospice, dialysis, respiratory therapy, physical therapy, and prenatal or pregnancy specialty care. That makes it a specialty state prison facility, not a local booking site for new Galveston County arrests.
Young's medical role also means family members should not read the Galveston County location as proof that the criminal case came from Galveston County. TDCJ can assign women from across Texas to Dickinson when the medical profile fits the unit. The same is true in reverse: a woman sentenced from a Galveston County court may be housed at another TDCJ unit if classification, health care, or bed needs point somewhere else.
People at Young Medical Facility are sentenced or assigned TDCJ inmates. A person may arrive after state classification, medical assignment, or transfer from another unit. The county jail roster is not the correct search path for Young unless there is a separate current county jail record before state custody begins.
Young Medical Facility Capacity
TDCJ lists Young Medical Facility capacity as 328. It also lists the unit as female and identifies custody levels G1, G2, and Outside Trusty. Section 15 of the research file gives additional medical-bed detail: the infirmary has 141 beds, including 131 skilled care or assisted living beds and 10 respiratory isolation rooms. Those are facility medical details, not county jail population counts.

Search Young Medical Facility Records
Use TDCJ Inmate Search to locate a person at Young Medical Facility. TDCJ search fields include last name, first name, TDCJ number, SID number, and gender. TDCJ IVSS also supports offender search by name, SID number, or current TDCJ number, and it can be used for View Details and notification registration.
- Open TDCJ Inmate Search for current state-prison custody.
- Enter last name and first name, or use TDCJ number or SID number.
- Use the gender field to narrow results for a female TDCJ medical facility.
- Confirm the location field says Young Medical Facility or the current TDCJ unit.
- Use IVSS or TDCJ telephone channels when location, parole, or notification status must be checked again.
The TDCJ IVSS offender search information captured in the manifest explains name, SID, TDCJ number search paths and partial wildcard tips.
IVSS is useful when the goal is not just a one-time location check, but ongoing notification tied to state custody or parole status.
Young Medical Facility Contact
Use the unit phone for facility routing, but use TDCJ search channels to confirm the person's current assigned location. A state medical unit can change location status because of care needs, bed availability, classification, or transfer. Confirm location before sending mail or planning travel.

Young Medical Facility Visits
TDCJ visitation rules apply at Young Medical Facility. The research file did not capture a facility-specific schedule from the unit page, so visitors should confirm approval, schedule, patient or medical restrictions, and custody status before travel. Medical and geriatric care needs can affect visiting even when the person is otherwise eligible for visitation.
| Visit Topic | Published Detail | Action |
|---|---|---|
| System | TDCJ visitation rules apply. | Use TDCJ process and call the unit. |
| Facility schedule | Not captured from unit page in research. | Confirm before travel. |
| Medical setting | Geriatric, infirmary, hospice, dialysis, and specialty care functions. | Ask about patient-status limits. |
| County visit rules | Not applicable to TDCJ state inmates. | Do not use county jail scheduling. |
Young is in Galveston County, but it is not operated by the county sheriff. A visitor should follow state-prison visitor approval and unit instructions, not municipal jail or county jail rules.
Young Medical Facility Mail and Phone
The research did not locate a Young-specific commissary fee table, money-deposit table, or mail-format detail. It did document TDCJ search, IVSS, telephone request channels, and unit contact information. Before sending mail or funds, confirm the current TDCJ statewide instructions and the person's current unit location.
| Service | Documented Detail | What to Confirm |
|---|---|---|
| Location search | TDCJ Inmate Search and IVSS. | Current unit and identifiers. |
| Telephone information | TDCJ telephone channels operate 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., Monday through Friday. | Status, location, parole, and release questions. |
| No mail format captured in research. | Current TDCJ mail rules and unit assignment. | |
| Money | No Young-specific fee table captured in research. | Current TDCJ funds instructions. |
Young Medical Facility Placement
Young Medical Facility placement is a TDCJ assignment, not a local arrest booking. After conviction and sentencing, a person may stay in county jail temporarily while awaiting transport, then move into state classification. TDCJ can assign or transfer the person based on custody level, gender, medical care, programs, and bed space.
Young's specialty role means a person at the facility may have been sentenced in any Texas county. Likewise, a Galveston County defendant sentenced to TDCJ may be housed somewhere else. Search the statewide TDCJ locator first, then use the unit page only after the locator confirms Young Medical Facility as the current location.
- G1 and G2
- TDCJ custody classifications listed for the facility in the unit directory.
- Outside Trusty
- A lower custody status category listed by TDCJ for the unit.

About Young Medical Facility
The TDCJ Young Medical Facility unit page is the main facility-specific source for address, phone, capacity, gender, custody levels, and medical services.
The unit listing supports the state-prison medical framing because it identifies capacity, custody levels, female inmate population, and specialty medical operations.
Programs and services described in the research include ambulatory medical, dental, mental health, skilled care, assisted living, respiratory isolation, hospice, dialysis, respiratory therapy, physical therapy, and prenatal or pregnancy specialty clinics. Those details should stay tied to TDCJ sources and should not be converted into county jail claims.
The correct record path follows that state role. TDCJ search confirms the unit, IVSS can support notification, and TDCJ telephone channels can help when a locator result needs a status check. County P2C remains useful for county jail custody, but it is not a substitute for TDCJ when the person has entered state prison custody.
Note: Confirm Young Medical Facility location and TDCJ visitation status before travel because medical care and transfers can affect access.
