Tom Green County is a county situated on the Edwards Plateau in the state of Texas, USA. According to the 2020 census, its population was 120,003. The county seat is San Angelo. It was established in 1874 and organized the following year. The county was named after Thomas Green, a lawyer and Confederate soldier.
In 2020, a new facility was constructed, designed to accommodate 552 inmates, which is an increase from the previous jail capacity of 449 inmates. The relocation process was meticulously planned and executed without any significant incidents. The new facility successfully housed over 400 inmates.
The old jail facility, which opened in 1977, underwent two renovations to maintain its functionality up to the present day.
For current information on inmates, you can visit the following website: Tom Green County Sheriff's Office Roster.

After being arrested, the offender is brought to the Tom Green County Detention Center 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 Tom Green County Detention Center:
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 325-659-6597.
When an offender is arrested and brought to the Tom Green County Detention Center in San Angelo for booking, there are several outcomes after being processed.
1. The offender will be released with no bail, promising to return on a specific date to appear before a judge in either Municipal or Tom Green County Court.
2. The offender is ordered to remain in jail until their court date.
3. The offender is allowed to be released after paying a specified bond or bail. Call 325-659-6597 to get the exact amount.
