Search Hunt County Detention Center Inmates

Hunt County Detention Center Overview

The official Hunt County Detention Center page identifies the jail as Hunt County Detention Center and lists it at 2801 Stuart St., Greenville, TX 75401. It is operated by the Hunt County Sheriff's Office, whose page identifies Terry Jones as sheriff and places the sheriff's office at the same Stuart Street law-enforcement complex. The detention center is a county jail, not a Texas state prison and not a federal detention facility. For current local custody, the county's own Hunt County Jail Inmate Search is the first lookup path.

The facility holds the county jail population generated by arrests in Greenville, Commerce, Quinlan, Caddo Mills, Lone Oak, Wolfe City, West Tawakoni, Celeste, Campbell, and other Hunt County communities. Research from the Texas Commission on Jail Standards supports describing the jail as a mixed local facility for pretrial detainees, county-sentenced misdemeanants, bench-warrant detainees, parole and blue-warrant holds, state-jail-felony cases, and people waiting on TDCJ transfer paperwork after sentencing. Court, district attorney, and clerk business generally routes to the Hunt County Courthouse at 2507 Lee St., not to the jail visitor entrance.

The Hunt County facility screenshot comes from the county's detention page. The source page is available at huntcounty.net/page/hunt.detention and shows the jail address, phone number, and visitation scheduling instructions used for visitor guidance.

Because the county page is short and operational, the important distinction is not just where the jail is located. The same official page also separates jail information from visitation scheduling, and the sheriff page separates the detention center from courthouse and records functions.

Hunt County Detention Center Capacity and Population

The Texas Commission on Jail Standards current population workbook reports Hunt County's rated jail capacity as 345 beds. In the June 1, 2026 Hunt County row, TCJS reported a total jail population of 294, or about 85.2% of capacity. TCJS population reporting is a first-day-of-month jail-agency snapshot, so it should not be treated as a live roster count. By comparison, the county current-inmate roster sample reviewed on June 30, 2026 showed 318 rows in the results table, which reflects a different source and date.

The TCJS classification row shows that Hunt County's population is driven mainly by local pretrial felons and state-jail-felony categories, with smaller misdemeanor, bench-warrant, parole, and transfer-ready groups. The same TCJS trend reviewed for this build showed pressure changing over time: 255 people on December 1, 2023, 338 on December 1, 2025, and 294 on June 1, 2026. That history helps explain why a single roster number should be read as a point-in-time figure, not an annual booking total or average length of stay.

How to Look Up an Inmate at Hunt County Detention Center

Use the county roster for people who may currently be held at the Hunt County Detention Center or who were in county custody during a selected date range. The roster is hosted on a Hunt County domain at apps.huntcounty.net/jail/. Research on the visible form found starting date and ending date fields, a result-limit field with a default of 100 and maximum of 500, and a search button. The current-results table shows Name, Gender, Race, Booking Date, and Released Date, and profile pages can show a mugshot, personal details, location, charges, arrest date, arresting agency, charge agency, bond type, and bond amount.

1. Open the Hunt County Jail Inmate Search page for current county jail custody.
2. Click Search without dates for the current inmate list, or enter a starting and ending date for a custody-period search.
3. Review the results table and confirm the person is tied to Hunt County Detention Center or a Hunt Sheriff's Office location label.
4. Open the profile for charge, arrest, bond, mugshot, and custody details, then verify urgent release or transfer questions by calling Jail Information at (903) 453-6849.

If the county roster does not answer the question, the next local channels are the Tyler-hosted Hunt County Jail Records Search and the sheriff's open-records request process. Those paths matter for historical jail records, copies, incident material, and public-information requests that are not answered by the current-inmate screen. For victim notification, Hunt County District Attorney resources link to VINELink, but VINELink is a notification and custody-status service rather than the county's booking profile system.

Hunt County Detention Center Address and Contact

Call the jail information line for custody confirmation, property questions, and facility-specific questions before traveling. The sheriff page notes that property or evidence pickup requires an appointment through the jail information number, so a walk-in trip without a call may not solve the issue. The sheriff's administrative office has regular weekday hours, but booking and custody activity can occur outside lobby hours.

Visiting Someone at Hunt County Detention Center

The official Hunt County detention page publishes visitation days and call-in scheduling rules, but it does not publish visit length, a complete dress code, a minor-child rule, locker rules, or a prohibited-items list. Visitors should schedule first, ask staff for current entry rules during the scheduling call, bring government photo ID unless told otherwise, and avoid unnecessary bags, electronics, or valuables. Holiday call-in days may change, and the county tells visitors to check with the inmate or call the scheduling number.

If the scheduling phone is not answered during the posted call hours, the county says to leave a message and the call will be returned that day. The phone is not answered after 4:00 p.m. Ask during the call where to park, which entrance to use, whether the visit is in-person or video-based for that inmate, and whether any current restrictions apply to clothing, property, or visitor identification.

Mail, Phone, Tablets, and Money at Hunt County Detention Center

The official detention page does not publish a public mail-address format, public commissary deposit vendor, kiosk rule, fee schedule, phone-deposit rule, or weekly commissary deadline. Because those details were not confirmed in the official jail page, they should be verified with the facility before money or mail is sent. County commissioners-court materials from 2025 do describe an ICS inmate communications and tablet environment, but that source is contract material rather than a live public instruction page.

Booking, Intake, and Transfers

A person arrested in Hunt County may be brought to the Hunt County Detention Center by the Sheriff's Office, Greenville Police Department, another city police department, DPS, a constable, or another law-enforcement agency. The public roster profile confirms that the jail captures personal details, a sheriff's-office number, physical-description basics, mugshot, location, charges, arrest date, arresting agency, bond type, and bond amount. Texas arrest procedure also requires a magistrate warning under Code of Criminal Procedure article 15.17, so bond and rights information may be set or reviewed after booking.

Transfers are a common source of lookup confusion. The Hunt County Detention Center is the right search target for county custody, including pretrial detention, local jail sentences, holds, and some people waiting on state transfer paperwork. Once a sentenced felony prisoner leaves Hunt County for a Texas Department of Criminal Justice facility elsewhere in Texas, the TDCJ Inmate Information Search becomes the better channel. TDCJ warns that its online data covers only inmates currently incarcerated in a TDCJ facility, is updated on working days, and may be at least 24 hours old.

Federal and immigration custody use separate systems. Research found no BOP federal prison, ICE detention facility, or separate U.S. Marshals detention facility in Hunt County. A federal sentenced prisoner should be checked through the BOP Inmate Locator, while an immigration detainee should be checked through ICE ODLS. Federal systems generally are not mugshot sources, and a county booking photo on a Hunt County profile should not be treated as a federal locator record.

About Hunt County Detention Center

KETR reported in September 2023 that the current detention center was completed in 2003, had structural flaws from the beginning, and that voters rejected a 2021 bond proposal to replace the jail. That is useful local background, but it is not a substitute for official capacity data or current custody confirmation. Older courthouse-jail history is separate from the present Stuart Street detention center; Texas Historical Commission material about courthouse-era jail features should not be confused with the modern facility.

Recent county materials also show that jail operations include more than a public roster. The 2025 commissioners-court ICS materials describe phone service, remote video visits, scanned mail access, tablets and kiosks, inmate requests and grievances, medical-request pathways, education content, religious eBooks or materials, ADA video relay access, and a digital law library. Because those details come from county contract attachments, the practical approach is to treat them as program context and confirm current availability through Jail Information or the visitation scheduler.
