Find Taylor County Adult Detention Center Inmates

Taylor County Adult Detention Center Overview

The Taylor County Adult Detention Center is the only adult Taylor County detention facility confirmed for page generation. County pages also use the phrase Taylor County Adult Detention Facility, but the official staff directory lists the Adult Detention Center name. The jail is operated by the Taylor County Sheriff's Office. The official sheriff page names Sheriff Ricky Bishop, while the jail directory identifies Angel Gonzalez as Chief Jail Administrator. The facility holds the adult county jail population rather than sentenced state prisoners housed in TDCJ units.

The jail's population is broad. TCJS category reporting shows pretrial misdemeanants, convicted misdemeanants, felony pretrial detainees, parole violators, state-jail-felony detainees, convicted felons sentenced to county jail time, and people sentenced to TDCJ divisions while waiting for transfer. The same June 1, 2026 row also lists 7 male federal inmates, 4 non-federal in-state contract inmates, and 17 housed-elsewhere inmates. The county pages did not publish pod names, housing-unit layouts, construction year, medical unit details, or public transit instructions.

Taylor County Adult Detention Center Capacity

The Texas Commission on Jail Standards is the official statewide source for the facility's capacity and population snapshot. In the June 1, 2026 current population report, Taylor County had a rated capacity of 874 beds and a total jail population of 643. That equals 73.6% of rated capacity. The matching incarceration-rate workbook listed an average daily population of 646. These are monthly report figures, not live bed counts, so the jail should be contacted for immediate custody logistics.

The TCJS population reports index is the source used for capacity and jail-population numbers.

TCJS data is useful for facility-scale planning, while the county public access portal is used for person-level jail and court record searches.

Look Up Taylor County Adult Detention Center Inmates

For current county jail custody, start with the Taylor County Public Access portal. Taylor County links that system for Search Court and Jail Records. If the online search does not show the person, call the jail at (325) 691-7423 for custody-status routing or use the sheriff records process for written records. Once a person is sentenced and transferred to TDCJ, search the TDCJ offender locator instead of treating the county portal as a state prison database.

1. Open the Taylor County public-access portal or reach it from the county District and County Records hub.
2. Use the jail-records or jail-search area if the portal displays one.
3. Search by the fields shown on the live portal screen and compare identifying details.
4. Call the jail if custody status, bond, visitation, or release timing is unclear.
5. Use TDCJ, BOP, ICE, or VINELink when the person is no longer in ordinary Taylor County jail custody.

Taylor County Adult Detention Center Contact

The staff directory is the most specific Taylor County source for the detention center address and phone. It lists the same street address as both physical and mailing address, gives the jail phone and fax, and identifies the Chief Jail Administrator. The Sheriff's Office main phone remains useful when the correct division is unclear, but jail-specific questions should begin with the detention center line.

The Taylor County jail staff directory lists the detention center address, phone, fax, and jail administrator.

Use the directory details for facility contact, and use the sheriff records page for written record requests.

Taylor County Jail Custody Types

Taylor County Adult Detention Center is not limited to one kind of inmate. The TCJS row for June 1, 2026 shows local male and female pretrial felons, Class A/B misdemeanor detainees, convicted misdemeanants, bench-warrant inmates, parole violators with and without new charges, state jail felony detainees, convicted felons sentenced to county jail time, and convicted felons or parole violators sentenced to TDCJ divisions. This is why a custody search may begin in Taylor County but later move to the state prison locator.

Visit Taylor County Adult Detention Center

Taylor County uses CorrectPay for visitation scheduling, deposits, and messages. On-site video visitation is free. In-town inmates receive two 30-minute visits each week. Out-of-town visitors must live 150 miles outside Abilene city limits and must show valid ID plus a current utility bill with the out-of-town address. Remote online visitation is listed as available as often and as long as desired, with a published rate of $0.19 per minute.

The Taylor County visitation page gives CorrectPay and schedule details for jail video visits.

Visits can be delayed by court, work assignments, disciplinary action, sick call, attorney visits, or housing reassignments.

Mail Money Phone at Taylor County Jail

Personal mail is processed through a scanning address, not sent straight to the jail. The required format is offender first and last name, offender ID number, Taylor County Jail, TX, P.O. Box 247, Phoenix, MD 21131. The county page specifically says not to abbreviate "Taylor County Jail, TX." Mail is opened, scanned, and emailed to the inmate. Incomplete letters may be discarded, and personal mail cannot include money orders, checks, gift cards, or cash.

Legal mail goes directly to the detention facility and must come from a legally approved entity such as a licensed attorney of record. Newspapers, magazines, and books must come from the publisher or approved sender such as Amazon. For money, the county lists CorrectPay, the jail lobby kiosk, and commissary customer service at 1-855-836-3364. The county did not publish a deposit fee table beyond the remote video visit rate.

Taylor County Jail Records Requests

When the portal does not provide enough information, Taylor County Sheriff's Records is the written-request route. The records page says requests must be submitted in writing by in person, fax, or U.S. Mail, and the requester must provide a photo driver's license copy before the request can be honored. The page also says the sheriff can provide free copies of criminal records on file with TCSO, but records from other counties or states must be requested from those jurisdictions. This route is useful for booking records that are not visible online.

The sheriff's Public Information page also routes open-records and general public-information requests through the sheriff's office contact channel. The page lists a media-only public information officer route separately, so ordinary jail-record requests should not be framed as media requests.

Taylor County Jail Transfer Search

Transfer status changes the search tool. People held at Taylor County Adult Detention Center for local charges are searched through Taylor County channels. People sentenced and transferred to TDCJ are searched through TDCJ. Sentenced federal prisoners are searched through BOP, while federal pretrial custody may require U.S. Marshals routing. Immigration detainers can exist while a person remains in Taylor County jail, and ICE custody after transfer uses the ICE ODLS search. Texas VINELink may be useful for notifications, but it is not a substitute for a full record request or court case search.
