As of spring 2024, the Coryell County Jail in Texas was facing significant overcrowding issues. With a rated capacity of only 92 beds, the jail consistently has as many as 175+ offenders in custody on any given day, which includes many offenders that are in neighboring jails.
In October 2022, the county voted to build a new facility in 2023 in response to the ongoing overcrowding problems. Currently, the county sends approximately half of its total inmates to other counties due to the lack of bed space in the current jail. Coryell County Sheriff Scott Williams emphasized the need for a new jail facility as the number of inmates consistently exceeds the available beds. Failure to resolve the issue of overcrowding within a reasonable time frame could potentially lead to the closure of the jail.
The decision for more beds was made to demolish the old county jail and build a new 47 bed jail in that spot, bringing the total between the two buildings to 139 beds, far less than what they need. In the meantime, when it gets too crowded the Sheriff will send inmates to eight other Texas counties to house overflow inmates to include: Bosque, Burnet, Erath, Grimes, Limestone, McLennan, Mills and Milam Counties.
The Coryell County Jail is located at 510 Leon Street, Gatesville, TX 76528, and can be reached 24 hours a day by calling 254-865-7201.
Mail can be received every day and is processed and passed to the inmates quickly, however the jail uses a digital service to avoid contraband entering the facility.

After being arrested, the offender is brought to the Coryell County Jail 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 Coryell County Jail:

How Do You Deposit Money for an Inmate in the Coryell County Jail?
Option 1 - Dropping Money at the Jail
Bring money to the jail in person.
Either the jail personnel will process the Inmate Account payment or you will use a Jail ATM self-serve kiosk in the lobbies that accepts cash, debit or credit cards.
Option 2 - Deposit Inmate Money Online
Coryell County Jail uses Jail ATM to process all online deposits to an inmate's account. The company charges you a small fee for doing so, but the fee probably isn't as much as gas and parking would cost to take it to the jail in person.
Option 3 - Mail the Inmate Deposit to the Jail
Mailing a deposit takes more time to process than the other methods but can be done if you live too far away to bring it in person and you don't have a debit/credit card for online deposits. Never send cash. Always send a Money Order from the US Post Office, a reputable bank or Western Union. Call the Coryell County Jail first as they may want you to do this online or at the jail kiosk instead.
Make the Money Order out to the payee the jail names (check with the jail first) and put their Inmate ID# in memo section of the Money Order. Never mail cash or a personal check.
