Tom Green County Detention Center Overview
Tom Green County Detention Center is operated by the Tom Green County Sheriff's Office. It is a regional county detention center in San Angelo, not an Irion County jail building. The facility is included here because Irion County is listed by TCJS as a no-jail county and because Tom Green has the official roster, jail information, contact, visitation, bond, commissary, and app resources captured in the research.
The facility holds pretrial detainees, county-sentenced inmates, contract inmates, and people booked by agencies using the detention center. The research does not prove that every Irion County detainee is sent there, so the accurate use is as a practical regional serving channel. An Irion County search still starts with the Irion sheriff and VINELink when the holding location is not known.
Tom Green County Detention Center Population
The June 1, 2026 TCJS current population workbook reported Tom Green County Detention Center capacity as 552 beds and total jail population as 446. The same workbook showed 43 contract inmates in a separate contract-inmate field. Those figures describe the Tom Green facility, not the Irion County inmate population. They are still useful because the facility is the most complete official regional custody source found for Irion-area users.

Look Up Tom Green Inmates
The official Tom Green County inmate roster gives separate access routes for current inmates and people released within the last 48 hours. The current route is useful for recent bookings and active custody at the detention center. The release route helps when a person was listed recently but is no longer in custody.
- Open the Tom Green County inmate roster landing page.
- Choose the current-inmate route for people believed to be in custody now.
- Choose the 48-hour release route when a person may have just left the jail.
- Open the profile link when available to review booking number, arresting agency, charges, booking date, and bond.
- Call 325-659-6597 before posting bond, scheduling a visit, or relying on a charge or bond field.
The official 48-hour release route is separate from the current-inmate route.
The release route can explain why a person no longer appears on the current-inmate list after a recent Irion-area custody event.
Tom Green County Detention Center Contact
The detention center and sheriff public contact address is the main public contact point captured for facility services. Use the jail number for custody, visitation, mail, money, and bond questions. Use Irion sheriff contact first when the arrest is local to Irion and the holding facility is unknown.

The Tom Green jail information page is the source for visitation, commissary, mail, bond, and medical-drop-off rules.
The jail information page is more reliable than a general web search because it ties money, mail, and visit rules to this facility.
Booking at Tom Green County Detention Center
Booking creates the jail record that may appear on the current-inmate roster. The record can include booking number, age, gender, race, arresting agency, booking date, charges, and bond. Holding-cell phones are available for family or attorney contact during booking. Local calls within the local dialing area are free during booking, and holding-cell phones are collect-call phones only.
Medical handling is facility-specific. Shannon Medical Center provides physical health care services to inmates at the detention facility. Current prescribed medication must be in the original container, and families should call the medical department at 325-659-6434 before dropping medication off. Medication and glasses are dropped at the information window in the lobby.
Bond at Tom Green County Detention Center
Tom Green County Detention Center publishes bond-payment details that matter for Irion-area searches when the person is held there. Cash bond may be paid in person at the bonding window in the lobby. A lobby kiosk accepts cash, credit cards, and debit cards. Surety bonds are handled by approved bonding companies, and the bonding company charges a fee.
| Bond path | Facility rule |
|---|---|
| Cash bond | Paid in person at the bonding window in the lobby. |
| Lobby kiosk | Accepts cash, credit cards, and debit cards. |
| Surety bond | Posted through approved bonding companies, which charge a service fee. |
| Other holds | Confirm warrants, parole holds, TDCJ commitment, federal holds, or ICE matters before paying. |
Tom Green Jail Services
The research captured several facility services beyond the roster. Tom Green County Jail Ministry provides non-denominational religious activities, teaching, services, free bibles, and religious materials regardless of affiliation. The jail page also describes property and money release. Inmates may release property during incarceration or after release to another agency if they sign a release before departure. Commissary money may be released once every 30 days, and the page suggests calling the bookkeeper before arrival.
Note: Confirm custody, bond, visitation, and medical-drop-off rules with the jail before traveling to San Angelo.
Tom Green County Sheriff App
The Tom Green County Sheriff's Office app is relevant because the official December 20, 2024 press release lists inmate roster, warrants, most wanted, crime map, alerts, press releases, and tip submission among its features. The app is not an Irion County sheriff app, and the research did not find an Irion sheriff app. Use it as an added Tom Green channel when the person or warrant issue belongs to that regional system.
The Tom Green sheriff app page is the official app download gateway.
App notifications may help with Tom Green roster and sheriff updates, but Irion County custody should still be confirmed through Irion sheriff or VINELink when the holding location is uncertain.
