About the Midland County Central Detention Center

The Midland County Sheriff's Office Central Detention Center is a sprawling single story complex located at 400 South Main in Midland, Texas. It is located adjacent to, and surrounding the William Ahders Law Enforcement Building. The campus takes up a full block and fronts both on W. Industrial Ave. and W. Washington Ave, all the way to South Big Spring Street, completing a triangular piece.

It was built in 1990 and expanded in 2011 in an effort to provide the community with the much needed facility. The Central Detention Center houses all risk levels, from Low Flight Risk to Maximum Security. Most of the inmates are sentenced for less than two years. The Central Detention Center has a total of 498 beds. The inmates can all be viewed online in the jail's Current Detainee Roster, along with information about their criminal charges, bond, what court they are fighting their case in, and other personal information.

Renovations to Midland County's jail facilities were part of an overall $22-million bond-backed jail expansion to alleviate overcrowding of the existing 201-bed main facility. These projects provided an additional 216 beds to the existing facility. Phase I of the jail expansion consisted of building a 5,800-SF sprung structure to house up to 72 detainees. Phase II included renovations and new construction of approximately 80,000 SF of space for processing and holding detainees. The new facility includes a courtroom, commercial kitchen, laundry and medical facilities, visitation areas, several outdoor secure exercise areas, and three large dormitory spaces.
