The Caldwell, Texas jail is a medium-security facility located in the heart of the city. Built in 1985, it serves as the primary correctional institution for Caldwell County. The jail has a capacity to accommodate up to 150 inmates, with separate areas for male and female detainees. The interior layout of the jail consists of multiple pods, where inmates are housed in individual cells rather than dormitory-style accommodations. This design promotes better security and minimizes conflicts among inmates.
The Caldwell jail offers various programs aimed at inmate rehabilitation and personal growth. These include educational classes, vocational training, substance abuse counseling, and mental health support services. Additionally, the facility provides opportunities for physical fitness, recreational activities, and religious services. These programs are designed to help inmates develop essential skills, address underlying issues, and facilitate their successful reintegration into society upon release.
However, the Caldwell jail has faced some challenges over the years. One recurring issue has been overcrowding, as the facility's capacity often exceeds its limits, leading to increased tensions and limited resources. The outdated infrastructure of the jail has also been a matter of concern, with reports of plumbing and ventilation problems. Efforts are underway to address these issues and improve the conditions within the facility to ensure the safety and well-being of both staff and inmates.
To find out if someone you know has been recently arrested and booked into the Caldwell County Jail, call the jail’s booking line at 512-398-6777.
There may be an automated method of looking them up by their name over the phone, or you may be directed to speak to someone at the jail. Sometimes the jail staff may ask you the offender’s date of birth to ensure privacy of the offender’s status.
Keep in mind that after an arrest, the information on an offender may not be publicly available for several hours.
If you don’t want to check up on an offender by calling the jail, you can also try looking up people recently booked online.
Caldwell County Jail Booking Roster
After being arrested and taken into custody, and after being read their Miranda Rights, an offender will next be transported to the local police or department or the Sheriff’s Department in Caldwell County for booking.
Booking is very involved and requires multiple steps in the process, however, keep in mind that most attorneys will advise that an offender remain silent and not offer any additional information about the crime they have been arrested for because anything they do say may be recorded and may very well be used against them in court.
Booking includes having their photo (mugshot) and fingerprints taken, as well as being asked a lot of questions about their personal history and state of mind. If it’s a serious felony, their DNA may also be taken. They will also be checked for warrants in Caldwell County and other Texas and USA jurisdictions.
If the offender was arrested for a DUI offense, and has refused a breathalyzer test, they may also be forced to have blood drawn by a doctor or nurse.
It is also very likely that the offender will undergo a humiliating full body search while in the nude. This includes bending over, spreading their cheeks in the direction of an officer, and coughing. They will also be walked through a metal detector or x-ray machine, like those used at an airport.
The arresting jurisdiction will ask about gang affiliations, tattoos, medical conditions, prescribed medication they are taking, recreational drugs they are on or addicted to, allergies, if they are suicidal, and other relevant information that will help with determining their cell assignment and special needs.
During the arrest and booking process an offender will also have all their personal property confiscated and held for either their release from jail, or with the offender’s approval, released to a friend or family member.
Personal property includes the clothing they are wearing, money, wallets, purses, cell phones, jewelry, body rings, earrings, watches, and even glasses if they are deemed a security risk. If they are allowed to keep their shoes or sneakers, the laces are removed.
At this point the offender will be allowed to make a free phone call to a person of their choice to notify them of their arrest, and/or arrange a bond or bail for their release.
If the offender is being detained and housed while awaiting arraignment, the Caldwell County Jail will provide a jail garment and slip-on shoes, a blanket, sheets, soap, toothbrush, toothpaste, and a towel.
Often, before they are dressed in the jail outfit and brought to their housing location, they will be forced to take a shower and undergo a disinfectant treatment for body and hair lice, scabies or other pests that may be residing on their person.
Booking can take anywhere from an hour to 24 hours or more. It all depends on the number of people that are awaiting processing, the number of staff on duty at the time, and the behavior of the offender.
If the offender is heavily intoxicated and/or violent, the Booking Officer may decide to stick the offender in a holding cell for several hours until they become more manageable.
