The Larned Correctional Mental Health Facility (LCMHF) was built in response to an April 1989 federal court order which directed that the State develop and implement an acceptable long-term plan for the mentally ill, protective custody, and high-security residents. LCMHF is now a 598-bed, multi-custody programming facility. The facility consists of the Central Unit, which has the capacity to house 310 male maximum/medium custody residents, the West Unit, with a capacity of 288 male minimum custody residents, and the South Unit, with a capacity of 120 male medium custody residents.
