Tom Green Detention Overview
The Tom Green County Detention Center is operated by the Tom Green County Sheriff's Office at 4382 N US Highway 277 in San Angelo. It is not a Coke County jail, but it is included for Coke County readers because Coke is reported by TCJS as no jail and the Tom Green sheriff site provides the nearby official detention details that Coke County does not publish. Use it as a receiving or adjacent jail channel only when the sheriff, VINELink, a court record, or a roster hit points there.
The facility page and roster support a full county jail workflow. Current inmates can be searched online, recently released people can be checked in the 48-hour release view, and individual profiles can show a booking photo, SO number, booking number, booking time, arresting agency, charges, bond, age, race, gender, and warnings about changing charges or bail. That public detail is useful, but the jail itself warns that profile data can change after court appearances.
Tom Green Jail Population
TCJS current population data for June 1, 2026 lists Tom Green with a rated capacity of 552 beds and a total jail population of 446. That is 80.8% of capacity. The same report includes 43 contract inmates and several nonzero custody groups, including pretrial felony and misdemeanor detainees, convicted misdemeanants, bench warrants, parole violators, TDCJ-sentenced inmates awaiting transfer, state-jail-felony categories, and a small federal-inmate count. Those categories show why a roster entry should be read by custody status, not just by name.
| Population Item | TCJS Figure | How to Read It |
|---|---|---|
| Rated capacity | 552 | Official bed capacity in the TCJS June 2026 workbook. |
| Total jail population | 446 | All reported jail custody groups on June 1, 2026. |
| Contract inmates | 43 | People held under contract arrangements, not only local Tom Green arrests. |
Tom Green Roster Search
The Tom Green inmate roster landing page gives two public choices: current inmates and 48-hour releases. The current roster does not require login. It includes name and date controls, current and released tabs, sort controls, a Search By Name box, Search and Show All buttons, and paginated results. Roster entries may show mugshot thumbnails, name, SO number, booking number, booking time, bond, age, charges, and a View Profile link.
- Open the official Tom Green County Sheriff's Office inmate roster and choose Current Inmates or 48 Hour Release.
- Use Search By Name if the spelling is known, or Show All if the name search fails.
- Open View Profile to review the booking number, SO number, booking date, arresting agency, charges, and bond field.
- Call 325-659-6597 before posting bond because charges, bail, and case numbers may change after court action.
The 48-hour release roster is a short recent-release tool, not a full archive. A person who was released earlier may need a records request, court search, or the original arresting agency's record channel. For Coke County arrests, that may mean the Coke County Sheriff's Office and the Coke County court records path, even if the person was physically held in San Angelo.
Tom Green Booking Records
Tom Green booking profiles give more detail than a simple custody-status lookup. A profile inspected during research showed a public booking photo, SO number, booking number, demographic fields, arresting agency, booking date, charge, and bond. It did not show every possible field a family member may want, such as a public housing unit or court date, so detention staff and court records remain important.
| Roster Field | What It Shows |
|---|---|
| Booking photo | Public mugshot image when available on the roster or profile. |
| SO number and booking number | Identifiers used by the sheriff office and jail booking system. |
| Booking time or date | The time tied to the jail intake event. |
| Charges | Charge code and plain-language charge description. |
| Bond | Bond amount or no-bond status as displayed, subject to verification. |
| Release time | Shown on the 48-hour release roster for recent releases. |
The public roster is a custody tool, not a final court record. If the case continues in Coke County, use Coke County court records after jail arrest to follow filed charges, court dates, and prosecutor action.
Tom Green Jail Contact
Call the detention center before paying bond, traveling for a visit, dropping off medication, or arranging property release. The roster profile warning tells bond companies and people posting bail to contact detention staff for current bail amounts, charges, and case numbers. That warning is especially important for Coke County families who may be dealing with one county's arrest records and another county's jail operations.

Tom Green Mail and Money

Non-legal and non-medical mail must be sent to the Longview processing address with the inmate name, SO number, Tom Green County Jail, P.O. Box 591, Longview, TX 75606. Legal and medical mail goes to the Tom Green County Jail or the facility where the person is housed. Mail needs a return address and must follow the page limits and photo limits published by the jail.
| Service | Provider or Rule |
|---|---|
| Non-legal mail | Inmate Name, SO#, Tom Green County Jail, PO Box 591, Longview, TX 75606 |

Originals are held by the processing center for 30 days and then destroyed, not returned. These details should be checked on the jail information page before sending anything important.
Tom Green Bond and Services
Tom Green publishes bond instructions that can matter when a Coke County-related arrest is housed there. A cash bond is the full amount paid before release. Cash is the listed in-person payment method, and if the amount is over $5,000 it must be in the form of a cashier's check. In-person payments go to the bonding window in the lobby. A lobby kiosk accepts cash, credit cards, and debit cards. Surety bonds are posted through approved bonding companies, which charge a fee.
Property and money release require inmate authorization before departure and a state-issued photo ID from the person picking up the property. Commissary-account money may be released to a member of the public once every 30 days. Shannon Medical Center provides physical health services at the detention facility, but jail or medical staff cannot release inmate medical information. Medication drop-off must be verified with the medical department at 325-659-6434 before drop-off.
- Cash bond
- The full bond amount paid in cash or required accepted form.
- Surety bond
- A bond posted by an approved bonding company for a fee.
- Detainer
- A hold request from another agency that may block release even when local bond is posted.
Tom Green also warned in an April 15, 2025 press release about a jail bond payment scam. Verify every payment demand with detention staff before paying anyone by phone, text, social media, or third-party message.
Tom Green Transfers and Holds
Some people in Tom Green County Detention Center are not simple local pretrial cases. TCJS categories for June 1, 2026 included TDCJ-sentenced inmates awaiting transfer, state-jail-felony groups, parole violators, contract inmates, and federal male inmates. A local jail profile may therefore show the first part of the custody story while another agency controls the next location or release barrier. If the roster no longer shows the person, check the system tied to the new custody status.
| Status | Lookup Channel | Use It For |
|---|---|---|
| Sentenced Texas custody | TDCJ inmate search | State prison or state jail location, offenses, and projected release data. |
| Federal prison custody | BOP inmate locator | Federal inmates from 1982 to present and federal release-date cautions. |
| Immigration detention | ICE Online Detainee Locator System | Immigration detention status and transfers outside the county jail. |
| Victim notification or custody status | VINELink | Custody-status notifications when the participating agency record is available. |
A detainer can block release even after local bond is posted. Ask detention staff which agency placed the hold, then confirm the case with the court, attorney, or responsible agency before paying fees or arranging travel.
Tom Green Roster Sources
The official roster landing page shows the current inmate and 48-hour release entry points: Tom Green County inmate roster.
That source is the correct starting point for a Tom Green County Detention Center roster search when a person may be housed in San Angelo.
The jail information page supplies the operational details for visitation, mail, commissary, bond, medical, and property handling: Tom Green County Detention Center jail information.
Those details are facility rules, so they should be used only after custody is confirmed at Tom Green County Detention Center.
Tom Green App and Programs
The Tom Green County Sheriff's Office also announced a free mobile app through Google Play and Apple stores. The app advertises agency and service information, press releases, inmate population or roster features, crime tip links, and push notifications. The web roster is public, so roster access is not app-only. The app's extra value is notification delivery, including inmate roster, sheriff message, most wanted, and press-release notices.
The facility offers non-denominational religious activities and jail ministry each week. Chaplain staff may help with spiritual needs and may help notify an inmate of an immediate family member's death after independent verification. Jail ministry staff do not handle legal process. For physical health, Shannon Medical Center provides care, and medication or eyewear drop-off should be cleared with the medical department before anyone travels to the jail.
Note: Verify custody, bond, visitation, and medication rules directly with Tom Green staff before making payments or travel plans.
