Constructed in 1894, the Mason County Jail stands as an exemplary small jail from the nineteenth century. Made from the locally available brown sandstone, this historic structure showcases the architectural style of modified Romanesque Revival. The ground floor of the jail serves as living quarters for the sheriff, while the second floor houses the jail cells. Notable features of the building include a grand entry arch, segmental arches adorning the windows, and a prominent central tower.
The Mason County Jail holds the distinction of being one of the oldest operational jails in the state of Texas. It has a limited capacity, accommodating a total of five inmates, consisting of four males and one female. Currently, the jail is operating at full capacity, with three additional Mason County inmates being housed at the Comanche jail, approximately 100 miles northeast of Mason, for a daily fee of $35 per inmate.
Each individual cell within the Mason County Jail occupies an area of 18 square feet, and there is a walkway encircling the cells. However, due to the growing needs of the county, there is a pressing requirement for a larger facility capable of accommodating 36 to 45 beds. The county envisions the possibility of utilizing the necessary beds while leasing the remaining ones to neighboring counties in need of additional space. This arrangement could help offset a portion of the jail's expenses.
Mason County officials recognize the potential intervention by the jail commission in the future, urging them to address the need for a more substantial facility. While financial considerations are important, the primary concern for local officials, including Sheriff Low, is to ensure the safety and well-being of the community, prioritizing community protection over financial gains.
To provide a comparison, neighboring Menard County, located to the west of Mason County, boasts a population of 2,300 residents. Their jail, built in 1981, has a capacity to house nine inmates.
