The Blanco County Jail, located in Blanco County, Texas, is a medium-sized correctional facility that serves as the primary detention center for the county. The jail boasts a capacity of 48 beds, accommodating both male and female inmates.
The inmates are offenders arrested in Blanco County that have recently been arrested for a felony or misdemeanor, are awaiting trial, or have been found guilty for their crime(s) and have been sentenced to one year or less.
One notable feature of the Blanco County Jail is its commitment to providing various programs and services aimed at inmate rehabilitation and reintegration into society. These programs include educational opportunities, vocational training, substance abuse counseling, and mental health support. Inmates are encouraged to participate in these programs to develop skills and address underlying issues that may contribute to their criminal behavior.
However, the Blanco County Jail has faced some challenges and problems over the years. One recurring issue has been overcrowding, with the inmate population occasionally exceeding the facility's capacity.

Efforts have been made to address these issues, but they remain ongoing challenges for the Blanco County Jail administration.
After being arrested, the offender is brought to the Blanco County Jail for booking, which is the detailed process of identifying, classifying, deciding on charges, and whether the person will either be released on their own recognizance, allowed to be released on bail, or moved into the jail until their court date.
The first thing every newly arrested person must do is close their mouth. Everything an offender says may be used against them, so the best thing to do is remain silent when questioned about the arrest and what led to it.
These are the steps of booking someone into the Blanco County Jail:
Booking can take as little as an hour, or up to 48 hours on a busy weekend or holiday evening, or if the offender is violent, wasted or generally uncooperative. If you have any questions about when you can pay an offender's bond and what the cost will be, call the facility at 830-868-7104.
