Warden Glenn Irwin presented the Centre County Correctional Facility's May report to the Board of Inspectors on May 14, 2026, saying the facility housed 99 individuals and outlining recent medical and mental-health activity.
The warden reported the population breakdown as 21 sentenced, 72 unsentenced and six state-sentenced inmates. Thirty-two individuals were tenant-county inmates housed for other jurisdictions (Huntingdon 10, Blair 18, Schuylkill 2, Elk 1, other 1). Work-release assignments included two inmates in private employment and one assigned to facility grounds.
The medical-services summary listed 155 nurse sick calls and 96 MD/PA sick calls for the reporting period, with nine outside consults and one hospital admission. Medication-assisted treatment (MAT) participation totaled 34 people, including 13 physician visits, six new commits on MAT and seven new inductions; nine detainees received detox at commitment. The board's report used the acronym MAT for medication-assisted treatment.
Mental-health services were summarized with stability ratings across categories A through D: A ' 34; B ' 6; C ' 66; D ' 27. The board also recorded 21 intakes with co-occurring (co-existing) diagnoses.
