About the Hunt County Detention Center

Hunt County Texas is a county with a population of 99,956 as recorded in the 2020 census. The county seat is Greenville. The Hunt County Detention Center, with 354 beds, is located at 2801 Stuart Street in Greenville, TX 75401, in the same complex as the Sheriff's Department.

The detention center was built in 2003 for $15 million. But it's already falling apart and has multiple problems in the design that make it unsafe for staff. It was so poorly done that the county sued and recovered over $9 million from the engineering firm, the architect, and the court management firm.

Hunt County Commissioners recently purchased a 60 acre tract at 201 E. Interstate 30, near Exit 95, not far from the Cowleech Fork of the Sabine River’s crossing under the interstate to build a new jail but the people keep voting it down.  So until they OK the construction of a new jail, Hunt County is stuck with this one.

If you are looking for information about current inmates in Hunt County, you can find their records, which includes name, booking date, mugshot, criminal charges, SO#, date of birth, height, weight and bond amount.

Visitation at the Hunt County jail is available on Wednesdays, Fridays, and Sundays. To schedule an appointment, call 903-453-6850. For Wednesday visits, scheduling should be done on Tuesdays, while for Friday and Sunday visits, scheduling should be done on Thursdays. The full visitation schedule is found in our visitation section below.

Mail can be received every day and is processed and passed to the inmates quickly, however the jail also uses a digital service to help avoid contraband entering the facility. Friends and family of inmates in the Hunt County Detention Center can also send them money and buy them commissary online, and set up a phone account that allows the inmates to call them during the day and evening seven days a week.

All the information on these inmate services can be found in the sections below.  If you still have questions, you can phone the jail 24 hours a day by calling 903-453-6851.

Recent Bookings & Arrests

How do I find out if someone has been arrested and booked into the Hunt County Detention Center?

To find out if someone you know has been recently arrested and booked into the Hunt County Detention Center, call the jail’s booking line at 903-453-6851.

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.

Hunt County Detention Center Booking Roster

What happens during booking in Hunt County?

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 Hunt 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.

What is the booking process like at the Hunt County Detention Center?

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 Hunt 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.

What kind of questions are asked during booking?

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.

What happens to an offender’s personal property during booking?

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.

What happens after booking?

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 Hunt County Detention Center 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.

How long does the Hunt County Detention Center Booking process take?

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.
