Jack County Inmate Population Snapshot
The official local facility map is simple. Jack County has one primary local jail: the Jack County Law Enforcement Center / Jack County Jail, operated by the Jack County Sheriff's Office. It holds people arrested by the sheriff's office, Jacksboro Police Department, DPS, warrant agencies, and other law enforcement bodies that book into the county jail. The roster can also show parole holds, other-county holds, no-bond entries, and comments tied to later TDCJ movement.
The Jack County inmate population is not the same as the Texas prison population. County jail custody covers new arrests, pretrial detention, short local sentences, and people waiting on court or transfer. Once a defendant is sentenced and received by the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, the statewide locator becomes the better custody tool. Federal prisoners and immigration detainees use still different systems.
Jack County Inmate Population Statistics
The strongest population figures come from the Texas Commission on Jail Standards population reports. Research downloaded the June 2026 current population workbook and incarceration-rate workbook. The latest Jack County row identified in the current population workbook listed 108 rated beds and 35 people in custody. The separate rate workbook listed 9,398 residents, a jail count of 31, and a rate of 3.30 per 1,000 residents for the same report period.
| Measure | Figure | Source / Date |
|---|---|---|
| Rated jail capacity | 108 beds | TCJS current population workbook, downloaded June 2026 |
| Total jail population | 35 | TCJS current population workbook, report serial 46174 / June 1, 2026 |
| Percent of capacity | About 32.4% | Calculated from the same TCJS row |
| County population used for rate | 9,398 | TCJS incarceration-rate workbook, June 1, 2026 |
| Rate workbook jail count | 31 | TCJS incarceration-rate workbook, June 1, 2026 |
| Incarceration rate | 3.30 per 1,000 residents | TCJS incarceration-rate workbook, June 1, 2026 |
The difference between the 35-person population row and the 31-person rate row should be read as a source and workbook difference. It should not be averaged or forced into one number. Jail counts change as arrests, releases, court orders, and transfers occur.
Jack County Inmate Population Trends
The incarceration-rate workbook gives a short trend line for Jack County. The extracted rows show a small rise from late 2025 into spring 2026, with the rate moving from 2.77 per 1,000 residents in early fall rows to 3.30 per 1,000 in May and June. These figures are monthly or period report rows, not live roster counts.
| Report period | County population | Jail population | Rate per 1,000 |
|---|---|---|---|
| June 1, 2026 | 9,398 | 31 | 3.30 |
| May 2026 | 9,398 | 31 | 3.30 |
| April 2026 | 9,398 | 30 | 3.19 |
| March 2026 | 9,398 | 30 | 3.19 |
| February 2026 | 9,398 | 29 | 3.09 |
| January 2026 | 9,398 | 28 | 2.98 |
| December 2025 | 9,398 | 27 | 2.87 |
| October 2025 | 9,398 | 26 | 2.77 |
Because Jack County is rural, a few bookings or releases can move the rate. The public roster is useful for current custody, while the TCJS workbook is better for population reporting and capacity comparisons.
Jack County Jail Capacity
The June 2026 TCJS population workbook placed Jack County well under rated capacity. With 35 people against 108 rated beds, the published population was about one third of capacity. That does not prove the jail is always under capacity, and it does not describe housing classification, medical limits, staffing, or separation needs inside the building. It does show that the latest researched official capacity figure did not point to county-wide overcrowding.
The sheriff jail page adds local context. It links to the jail population report and describes jailer duties that include booking inmates in and out, handling inmate requests, supervising food, laundry, and cleaning, and transporting inmates for court, medical appointments, and dental appointments. Those functions shape the daily Jack County inmate population even when the head count is small.
The sheriff jail page is the local source for jail operations and population-report routing.
The page ties the public population report to the same jail operation that handles booking, inmate requests, and transport.
Laws Governing Jack County Inmates
Texas law explains why parts of the Jack County inmate population are public and why other details may still require a written request or review. The Texas Public Information Act is the broad records law. Texas criminal procedure also requires disclosure of specified arrest and warrant information. Jail operation and capacity reporting sit under state jail standards and county jail duties.
Key statutes and sources:
Texas Government Code Chapter 552 gives the public a right to request government records unless an exception applies.
Texas Code of Criminal Procedure Article 15.26 requires disclosure of key arrest and warrant details, including charge, jail, magistrate, and bond information.
Texas Local Government Code Chapter 351 addresses county jail and sheriff custody duties.
Texas Commission on Jail Standards regulates county jails and publishes population and capacity data.
Texas Code of Criminal Procedure Article 2.139 is the state death-in-custody reporting route.
Search the Jack County Jail Roster
Current county custody begins with the Kologik Public Jail Roster for Jack County. The roster uses agency ORI TX1190000 and identifies the agency as Jack County. Research found no login requirement. The public parameter response showed that roster photos are not hidden and public addresses may display on inmate cards.
Use the roster for people who are in the county jail now. It is not the right tool for sentenced TDCJ prisoners, federal sentenced prisoners, or immigration detainees after transfer. It is also not a complete court docket.
- Open the Kologik roster and allow the page app to load.
- Use ALL to scan the current Jack County inmate population or RECENT BOOKINGS to start with newer entries.
- Type part of a first, middle, or last name in Name Filter when a full name is uncertain.
- Use the Order By control only when time in custody matters.
- Open the inmate card and read the arrest date, arresting agency, charges, warrant numbers, bond rows, and hold comments.
- If the person does not appear, check TDCJ, BOP, ICE, VINELink, the jail phone line, and the sheriff open-records process.
The Kologik roster interface is the public starting point for a current Jack County inmate search.
The roster image shows the vendor interface used for current Jack County jail custody rather than statewide prison custody.
Jack County Inmate Lookup Controls
The roster controls are more specific than a generic name box. The app can filter by name text, show all visible current entries, sort by shortest or longest time in jail, and route to recent bookings. Its code has history-mode labels, but the Jack County history endpoint returned a setting that made current mode the practical public mode during research.
| Field Label | Type | Required | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Name Filter | Text | No | Filters across last, first, and middle name fields. |
| Order By | Dropdown | No | Blank default, shortest in jail, or longest in jail. |
| History | Dropdown | No | Current, past 5 days, and past 10 days appear in the generic app, but Jack County researched as current-mode in practice. |
| Recent Bookings | Button | No | Prioritizes newer bookings. |
| ALL | Button | No | Returns the visible current roster list. |
| A-Z buttons | Buttons | No | Filters by last-name initial. |
What Jack County Inmate Records Show
A public Jack County inmate record can show a booking photo, name, arrest date and time, days in jail, race, sex, year of birth or age, height, weight, eye and hair codes, arresting agency, public address if enabled, and a charge table. The charge table can include charge text, warrant number, bond amount, no-bond display, and comments such as holds or TDCJ sentence notes.
| Field | What It Shows |
|---|---|
| Name and identifiers | First, middle, last, suffix, internal record id, name id, and custody/control number. |
| Arrest and booking data | Arrest or booking date and time, days in jail, and arresting agency. |
| Demographics | Race, sex, age, height, weight, eyes, hair, and DOB/year where displayed. |
| Charges and warrants | Charge literal/code, warrant number, bond amount, comments, and no-bond flags. |
| Photo | Roster photo through the public photo endpoint when available. |
| Housing or court date | Not reliably shown in inspected public records; cell and court fields were blank in current data. |
Past Jack County Inmate Records
Released or older booking records may not remain visible in the same way as current records. When the Kologik record has a release date, the interface may stop showing charges for that released person. For older booking records, booking photos, incident records, or files not shown online, the correct local route is the sheriff's written open-records process.
The Jack County Sheriff's Office open-records page says requests must be submitted in writing and are not accepted by telephone. Channels include in person, mail, fax, email, and online upload. The page also states that online requests will be processed and returned by the requested delivery method within 10 business days after the date of the request.
The sheriff open-records page shows the written-request rule and upload form.
That channel matters when a roster lookup is too narrow, too current, or missing a record that must be requested from the custodian.
Jack County Jail vs State Prison
Many failed searches come from using the wrong custody system. A person arrested in Jacksboro may first appear on the county roster, later appear in a court docket, and after sentencing move to TDCJ. Those systems are linked by the criminal case, but they are not one database.
| Question | County Jail | Texas State Prison |
|---|---|---|
| Who is held | Pretrial detainees, short local sentences, local and outside holds | Sentenced state prisoners and state jail felons after transfer |
| Run by | Jack County Sheriff's Office | Texas Department of Criminal Justice |
| Where to search | Kologik Jack County Public Jail Roster | TDCJ inmate information search |
| Record focus | Booking, custody, charges, bonds, warrants, mugshot | State identifiers, unit, sentence, release or parole data where available |
| Local facility | Jack County Law Enforcement Center / Jail | No TDCJ unit was identified inside Jack County |
The TDCJ statewide inmate search is the correct next step after a Jack County defendant is received into state custody.
TDCJ results answer state-custody questions that the Jack County roster is not built to answer.
State Federal and ICE Search
No TDCJ prison, Bureau of Prisons facility, ICE detention center, or dedicated U.S. Marshals facility was mapped inside Jack County in the research file. Still, those systems matter because a person arrested in Jack County can be transferred, sentenced, held on a detainer, or searched through a federal or immigration locator.
- TDCJ: Use TDCJ Inmate Information Search by name, TDCJ number, or SID for sentenced state custody.
- BOP: Use the Federal Bureau of Prisons inmate locator for sentenced federal prisoners.
- ICE: Use ICE Online Detainee Locator System by A-number and country of birth or biographical search.
- VINELink: Use VINELink for custody and release notifications where agency data is available.
- DPS: Use Texas DPS Conviction Name Search for paid statewide conviction history, not live custody.
No official Jack County Sheriff or Jacksboro Police mobile app was located during research. Use the roster, sheriff phone and open-records channels, TDCJ, BOP, ICE, VINELink, and court or clerk portals instead.
Jack County Detention Facilities
The facility map resolves to one local jail. There is no separate official Jack County work-release center, jail annex, county medical unit, regional detention center, private contract jail, ICE facility, federal prison, or TDCJ prison listed inside the county in the research.
- Jack County Law Enforcement Center / Jack County Jail holds Jack County pretrial detainees, local sentenced inmates, local arrests, other-agency holds, parole holds, and people awaiting transfer after sentencing.
- Booking
- The jail intake process that creates the custody record after arrest.
- Hold
- A flag from another agency or case that can keep a person in jail even when another bond is posted.
- Detainer
- A request or notice from another agency asking the jail to hold or notify before release.
- PR bond
- A personal recognizance bond releases a person on a signed promise and conditions instead of full cash payment.
