The Giles W. Dalby Correctional Facility in Post has been in operation since 1999. Initially functioning as a county jail, it later transitioned into a federal prison. However, in June 2022, the contract that previously ensured a full capacity at the prison expired due to a lack of inmates. Other federal prisons had sufficient space and no longer required the utilization of the Post facility.
As a result, the prison is now establishing contracts with other counties that are experiencing overflow and lack sufficient space for their inmates. Overcrowded facilities will transport inmates to Garza County.
Inmates at this jail are offenders who have been arrested in Garza County (or other counties that don't have bed space) that were recently charged with a felony or misdemeanor, are awaiting trial, or have been found guilty for their crime(s) and have been sentenced to one year or less.
Inmate services include an online money deposit, video visitation, digital email messaging and outgoing phone calls.

There are FOUR options for putting money on an inmate's books:
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
Garza 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 Garza 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.
