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.
