Tom Green County Detention Center Inmate Lookup

Tom Green County Detention Center Overview

The Tom Green County Detention Center is operated by the Tom Green County Sheriff's Office. The facility is at 4382 N US Highway 277 in San Angelo, and the sheriff's jail-information page points jail calls, visits, bond posting, inmate mail, money deposits, and medical drop-off questions to this location. Sheriff J. Nick Hanna is named in the research as the official sheriff, and the sheriff's website states that the office is responsible for operating the county jail.

This is a county jail, not a Texas Department of Criminal Justice prison. It holds adults booked after arrest, defendants waiting on court appearances, people sentenced to county jail time, and people held for bench warrants, parole violations, ICE holds, transport detainers, or other categories reported through jail standards data. State-sentenced prisoners move to TDCJ custody and should be searched through the state locator rather than the county roster.

The public sources did not publish pod names, tower names, or a public cell-block directory. The sheriff roster also does not show housing location on the inspected public profile. Readers should treat housing and movement information as non-public operational detail unless jail staff confirms it for a specific person.

Tom Green County Detention Center Capacity and Population

The Texas Commission on Jail Standards population workbook is the official local source for the jail capacity figures located in the research. The June 1, 2026 TCJS current population workbook listed Tom Green County with a 552-bed capacity and a total jail population of 446. That is about 80.8 percent of listed capacity for that first-of-month report. TCJS cautions that its workbooks are submitted by jails and facilities and are not the same as an independent audit or a live jail count.

Recent TCJS first-of-month totals stayed under the 552-bed listed capacity in the research sample: 490 on January 1, 2026, 471 on February 1, 493 on March 1, 481 on April 1, 481 on May 1, and 446 on June 1. The sheriff's current roster showed a different count when inspected on June 30, 2026. That difference is expected because the roster is a public website count at a moment in time, while TCJS population reporting is a first-day-of-month reporting workbook.

How to Look Up an Inmate at Tom Green County Detention Center

The correct online lookup for this jail is the Tom Green County Sheriff's Office inmate roster. The roster landing page separates current inmates from the 48-hour release list. The current roster inspected in the research had a name search, Show All option, sorting by name or date, current and released filters, booking-photo thumbnails, SO numbers, booking numbers, booking times, bond information, age, charges, and a View Profile link.

1. Open the sheriff's roster landing page and choose Current Inmates for people still in custody or the 48 Hour Release option for very recent releases.
2. Use Search By Name when the full roster is too long, or choose Show All to return to the complete selected list.
3. Open the View Profile link to confirm the SO number, booking number, booking date, arresting agency, charges, bond entry, and booking photo.
4. Call detention staff at 325-659-6597 before posting bond or relying on a charge list, because the profile warning says charges and bail amounts can change after court appearances.

The sheriff also documents a free Tom Green County TX Sheriff mobile app with inmate roster, warrants, most wanted, special alerts, press releases, crime tips, contact tools, and push notification categories. The app is an additional access channel for roster updates, but the research did not confirm a separate app-only inmate field.

The roster does not replace court records. For a filed criminal case, use the Tom Green County Public Records Search through Odyssey, then route felony matters to district-court records and misdemeanor matters to the County Clerk criminal department. For a sentenced state prisoner, use TDCJ. For a federal sentenced prisoner, use the BOP locator. For an immigration detainee, use ICE ODLS. VINELink Texas can be used as a custody-notification channel, not a full court-record search.

Tom Green County Detention Center Address and Contact

Use the jail phone for current custody, correct bail, charge, and case-number questions tied to a person in the detention center. The sheriff administration office is separate from the jail and is listed at 222 W. Harris in San Angelo with weekday office hours in the research. For jail-specific details, the public jail page routes questions to the detention facility phone and names Major Beth Holland-Mull as the additional jail-page contact.

Visiting Someone at Tom Green County Detention Center

Face-to-face jail visitation follows a first-letter schedule by inmate last name on weekdays. Sign-up slips are available before officers begin sign-up, and visits are limited to 20 minutes. Visitors must have valid photo identification, such as a driver's license, state ID, or military ID. People under 17 must be accompanied by an adult and may visit only during evening visitation. Food, drink, cameras, cell phones, strollers, carriers, diaper bags, and purses are not allowed in the visitation area, except for a diaper and bottle for a small child.

NCIC online visitation is available Sunday through Saturday from 6:00-11:00 a.m., 1:00-5:00 p.m., and 7:00-11:59 p.m. The researched cost was $0.35 per minute, with NCIC support at 1-844-724-2076. Jail events can cancel or reschedule visits, including work assignments, lockdown, sick call, attorney visits, housing reassignments, or emergency conditions.

Mail, Phone, and Money at Tom Green County Detention Center

Tom Green general inmate mail is scanned through a Longview, Texas processing address rather than delivered directly to the jail. After December 15, 2023, general mail must use the inmate name, SO number, Tom Green County Jail, PO Box 591, Longview, TX 75606. Legal and medical mail still goes to the physical detention center address. The envelope and mail must include the inmate name, Sheriff's Office booking number, and return address. Mail is limited to the front side of pages, no more than five pages, no more than one photo per mailing, and 8.5 by 11 inches. Originals are held for 30 days at the processing center and then destroyed.

Booking and Intake at Tom Green County Detention Center

A typical local booking starts after arrest by the sheriff, San Angelo Police Department, DPS, another agency, or under a warrant or hold. Detention staff create or update the SO number, assign a booking number, record the booking date and time, take a booking photo, collect identity information, list initial charges or holds, and provide telephone access. The jail page says holding cells have collect-call phones and that newly booked inmates may make free local calls during booking to notify family or reach an attorney.

The roster can publish current booking information before the filed court case fully develops. A judge may later set or change bail, and prosecutors may screen, modify, or file charges after the initial arrest entry. That is why the roster's own warning sends bond companies and people posting bail back to detention staff for correct bail, charges, and case numbers. Medical information is not released to family by Shannon Medical Center or jail staff. Medication drop-off must be verified with the medical department at 325-659-6434, and current prescription medications must be in original containers if accepted.

About Tom Green County Detention Center

The facility sits on North US Highway 277 in northern San Angelo. From the courthouse and downtown government area near W. Harris, visitors generally travel north toward the highway connections for N US Highway 277. The research did not locate a public parking map or transit route on the official jail page, so visitors should confirm entrance routing, construction, and parking before driving to the jail.

Officially documented support inside or around the jail includes Tom Green County Jail Ministry, physical health-care services through Shannon Medical Center, phone access, visitation, property release, and money-release procedures. Jail Ministry is non-denominational and provides religious activities, teaching, services, free Bibles, and related materials regardless of affiliation. The chaplain may help notify an inmate after independently verifying the death of an immediate family member, but the ministry does not handle legal matters.
