Angelina County Detention Center Overview

Angelina County Detention Center is the primary local jail for Angelina County inmate custody. The county jail page also labels the address block as Angelina County Jail. It is operated by the Angelina County Sheriff's Office, the county agency responsible for jail operation, countywide arrests, investigations, service of writs, and law-enforcement communications. People booked here may have been arrested by the sheriff, a city police department, a constable, or another agency that brings a person into local custody.

The official jail information page says the detention center was built and opened in 2003 and is responsible for the care, custody, and control of people alleged to have committed crimes. The published local scope is broad: the county page says the jail houses people charged with offenses from Class C misdemeanors to capital murder. That wording matters because the Angelina County Detention Center roster is a custody list, not a conviction list. A listed offense is a booking or hold entry unless a court record later shows a final disposition.

The first online source for current Angelina County Detention Center inmates is the official Angelina County Jail Roster. It is hosted on the county website, not a branded third-party search portal. The roster displays a public table of current inmates with clickable profile rows, so users should treat it as a live jail list and not as a full archive of past arrests.

The county jail information page is also the source for mail scanning, commissary timing, NCIC phone and video services, and the local facility description. Those details are operational. They affect whether a letter is delivered, whether commissary money arrives before the weekly cutoff, and whether a visitor should travel to Lufkin that day.

Angelina County Detention Center Population

Angelina County Detention Center has an important capacity conflict in the official source set. The county jail page says the facility was built to house a maximum of 279 inmates. The Texas Commission on Jail Standards current population workbook for June 2026 reports Angelina County with capacity 506, total jail population 385, and 76.1 percent of capacity. Those numbers should not be merged into one simple figure. The county page is the local descriptive source, while TCJS is the current state reporting source for jail population and capacity.

The June 2026 TCJS row also shows why one number does not tell the whole Angelina County jail population story. The state workbook separates local pretrial misdemeanants, local pretrial felons, contract inmates, state-jail felons, parole violators, and people sentenced to TDCJ divisions but still held locally. The same report lists 93 contract inmates and zero federal inmates in the federal male and female fields inspected for that row. That means the Angelina County Detention Center population can include several legal statuses even though the public roster is shown as one jail list.

Look Up Angelina County Jail Inmates

The correct search path for Angelina County Detention Center inmates is the county roster, not the state prison locator. Open the official jail roster, scan the current table, and click the matching row to open the inmate profile. The page observed during research did not show a county search box, reset button, date filter, or advanced search form. Browser find can help with a last name, but the roster itself is a table of current Angelina County jail inmates.

1. Open the official county jail roster from the county homepage's Jail Roster link or directly from the roster URL.
2. Read the county disclaimer because inmate data can change quickly and may not reflect current information.
3. Use the visible table fields to compare name, gender, height, weight, eye color, hair color, and listed date.
4. Click the matching row to review profile fields such as mugshots, offense, degree, bond amount, hold reason, arresting agency, aliases, and marks.
5. Call Book-In at 936-639-8724 or the jail main line at 936-634-2724 when a result is missing, recent, or urgent.

The roster is strongest for current local custody. If a person was sentenced and moved into TDCJ custody, use the TDCJ Inmate Search. If the issue may involve federal sentenced custody, use the BOP inmate locator. Immigration custody uses the ICE Online Detainee Locator System. A disappearance from the county roster can mean release, transfer, bond, TDCJ movement, a spelling mismatch, a delayed update, or another custody status.

Angelina County Jail Contact

Use the jail phone numbers for custody, book-in, visit, and facility questions. The sheriff's general office number is separate from the jail's main line. For a current booking, the Book-In number is usually the most direct county contact. For records that are not displayed on the roster, use the county open-records portal and select the sheriff or the right office for the record sought.

County records requests can be submitted through the open-records instructions page or the web open-records request form. The county notes that public-information requests are for existing records. Ask for a named record, such as a booking sheet, jail record, booking photograph, or offense report for a named person and date.

Angelina County Jail Visitation

The current Angelina County jail visitation page lists separate male and female visit windows on Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Sunday. Visits are first come, first served. Sign-up starts 30 minutes before visitation and ends 30 minutes before the visit period ends. Each visitor must present positive state-issued identification, government ID, or a driver's license unless the jail administrator approves another verifiable form.

The newer visitation page sets 30-minute visits and two visits per week. It also says no more than two visitors may be in the visitation room at one time, people under 17 must be with an adult, contact visits are not allowed, and visitors must be orderly and properly clothed. Purses, handbags, and cameras must be left in vehicles. The older jail page has different visit limits and older wording, so the current posted visitation page and jail-front notices should control day-of-visit decisions.

Angelina County Jail Mail and Money

Angelina County Detention Center uses a Longview scanning address for non-privileged and non-legal mail. Mail must list the inmate name and SO number, the jail name, and the scanning PO Box. Nonlegal mail is scanned and delivered electronically on kiosks or tablets. Legal and medical mail is not accepted at the scanning address and must be sent to the facility where the inmate is housed.

The jail information page identifies NCIC for phone, video, and messaging accounts. It lists domestic phone categories at $0.16 per minute with no connection fee, Mexico at $0.25 per minute, international calls at $0.35 per minute, remote off-site video at $0.30, and secure inmate messaging at $0.25 per message plus $0.35 for an attachment. Commissary orders must be entered before Tuesday 10:00 AM and are passed out Wednesday. Deposits must be made before Tuesday 8:00 AM to meet that week's timing.

Mail rules are strict. The research notes a page limit of five pages, a size limit of 8.5 by 11 inches, front-side scanning only, and one photo per mailing. Packages are not accepted at the facility unless a Bible is mailed directly from a church, not from a retail seller.

Angelina County Booking Intake

Angelina County booking begins when a person is brought to the jail after arrest, warrant service, transfer, or another custody event. The public roster and profile fields show the local intake record: name, age, race, ethnicity, gender, physical descriptors, aliases, scars, marks, tattoos, front and right booking photos, offense rows, degree, bond amount, hold reason, and arresting agency. The public profile does not show every operational field. Housing unit, court date, warrant number, projected release date, and complete case history were not shown in the inspected sample.

After booking, the custody path can move in several directions. A person may post bond, stay in jail for a court setting, be held on a warrant, be transferred to another agency, or later move to TDCJ after sentencing. For court filings after a jail arrest, use the District Clerk, County Clerk, re:SearchTX, or the local court record channel. For booking-photo details, the jail roster profile may show front and right views, while older or missing records may require an open-records request.

About Angelina County Detention Center

Angelina County Detention Center is a local jail, not a state prison. It sits in Lufkin and handles the county jail role for Angelina County arrests, local holds, bond status, intake, visitation, mail, commissary, and release questions. The TDCJ prisons in Diboll, including Diboll Unit and Rufus H. Duncan Geriatric Facility, are separate state facilities for sentenced prisoners. That distinction keeps inmate lookup accurate because the county jail roster and TDCJ locator answer different questions.

Recent operational details in the official source set are practical rather than litigation-focused. The county pages describe a mail-scanning change that began in March 2022, package limits, NCIC communication rates, and updated visitation rules. The research did not locate an official active consent decree, recent jail construction bond summary, or official county jail litigation summary. The strongest current sources are the county jail information page, the visitation page, the sheriff contacts, and TCJS population reporting.

The screenshot below comes from the Angelina County jail information page, the official source for the facility address, jail history, mail-scanning rules, NCIC services, and commissary timing.

The page is useful because it ties daily custody needs to the same facility named on the roster and visitation pages.
