About the Randall County Jail

The Randall County Jail in Amarillo, Texas has been around since the 1960s. It occasionally does some renovations and expanded by another 144 beds in 2010 when the Amarillo City Jail was shut down, but other than that has always been a miserable place, and always overcrowded. Whether its because of spillover from surrounding counties of the city of Amarillo when they ran out of room, there never seems to be enough bed space, even with its current capacity of 454 beds.

In 2024 the Randall County Jail will attempt to solve this by adding another two pods, enough bed space for 96 more inmates, bringing the total bed space to 550.  Combined with neighboring Potter County, which has a population of 50,000 people less than Randall County, and they have 598 beds, that brings the total bed space for the two counties to 1,148 adult beds. The addition 96 beds is going to cost the county $20 million, $10 million of which came from the federal government's 2021 American Rescue Plan.

The Randall County Jail is located at 9100 S. Georgia Street in Amarillo, TX 79118. It shares the address with the Sheriff's Department, and you can reach the jail 24 hours a day by calling 806-468-5752.

Randall County Jail Booking Roster

What happens during booking in Randall 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 Randall 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 Randall County Jail?

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 Randall 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 Randall 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.

How long does the Randall County Jail 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.
