Military Corrective Training Centre (MCTC)
Berechurch Hall Camp is the home of the Army's Military Corrective Training Centre which incorporates the Naval Detention Quarters and is the only dedicated military facility of its kind in the United Kingdom. It is not a prison; although, it has a special unit for those who are being transferred to HM Prison Service to serve their sentences. Inmates are in three categories:
- Those from the RN, RM, British Army and RAF who are to remain in the Services after sentence and will serve their detention in A Company.
- Those from the RN, RM, British Army and RAF who are to be discharged after their sentence and will serve their detention in D Company.
- Those held in Military custody either awaiting the outcome of an investigation, or awaiting HM Prison or YOI placement
