Location

In 2005, the Crime Prevention Institute moved its offices inside the Travis State Jail.  This strategic relocation allowed for easier and more frequent access to Targeted Project Re-Enterprise clients and enabled implementation of enhanced pre-release programming. As a result of the move, the Crime Prevention Institute reduced overall expenses by eight percent!


Directions
 
In central Austin, take Martin Luther King Blvd. east of IH-35 and follow it all the way east of HWY183. Once you cross HWY183 (Ed Bluestein) MLK Blvd. becomes FM 969.  About 2 miles down past a Chevron station the entrance to the jail will be on the right marked by a large sign which reads “Travis State Jail.” Turn right and follow the long road leading up to the jail. Park in visitor's parking and come in the main entrance.
