Gregg County North Jail in Longview: Inmate Information
Sheriff Maxey Cerliano's Gregg County Sheriff's Office runs the North Jail at 101 West Whaley in Longview. It is the largest piece of a three-building system that also includes the South Jail on the courthouse's fifth floor and the Marvin A. Smith Facility in Kilgore. Both men and women are housed on Whaley Street: the Sheriff's visitation schedule gives female inmates Monday-evening and Saturday-morning slots and splits male inmates by last name, A–M and N–Z. Anyone arrested by a Gregg County agency, whether in Longview, Kilgore, Gladewater, White Oak, Clarksville City, Easton, Lakeport, Warren City or East Mountain (the county's list of cities), can end up in this building. For a family, the first step is getting the inmate's SO (booking) number from the county's jailing search or by phoning the countywide jail number, 903-236-1755 (Lt. Scott Morrison’s Whaley Street desk is 903-237-2532). With that number you can put a visitor card in order, address mail correctly and make deposits.

Gregg County North Jail Inmate Search
Gregg County puts its custody records online through the Odyssey jailing search, which covers all three Sheriff's buildings. To use it:
- Open the jailing search and enter the person's last and first name (a partial name works if you're unsure of spelling).
- Pick the matching record from the results list.
- Write down the booking (SO) number it shows; Gregg County uses it on visitor cards, mail and deposits.
The search doesn't always say which building someone is in. To confirm the person is at 101 West Whaley, call the jail line at 903-236-1755. For alerts when someone is released or moved, register at IVSS-Counties, TDCJ's notification service for county jails.

Lieutenant Scott Morrison is the officer in charge of the building, reachable at 903-237-2532, while the Sheriff's countywide line for jail questions is 903-236-1755. Women and men are both held on Whaley Street, which is why the visiting schedule sets separate times for female inmates and for male inmates by surname. The North Jail works alongside the South Jail in the courthouse and the Marvin A. Smith Facility in Kilgore, and all three follow the same Sheriff's rules for mail, deposits and commissary. TCJS counts 916 beds for Gregg County, but that is the total for all three buildings; the Sheriff does not publish a separate figure for the North Jail.

How is booking conducted at Gregg County North Jail?
After an arrest, individuals are transported to Gregg County North Jail for the booking process. This procedure ensures the person’s identity, assesses charges, and determines if they will be released, eligible for bail, or detained until court.
Remaining silent during this process is vital. Anything said could be used as evidence, so it’s wise to wait for an attorney before speaking about the arrest.
Here’s a breakdown of the booking steps at Gregg County North Jail:
- Verifying identification information.
- Capturing mugshots for record-keeping.
- Health assessments and questions about criminal history.
- Possible DNA collection.
- Physical search for contraband or weapons.
- Securing personal belongings.
- Granting a free phone call.
For questions about an arrestee’s bond, call the facility at 903-236-1755.
How to post bail for someone arrested in Gregg County
When an individual is arrested and booked at Gregg County North Jail in Longview, the outcomes include:
1. Release without bail, under the condition they appear for their court date.
2. Remain in custody until the court appearance.
3. Post a bail or bond for release. Contact 903-236-1755 for specific bail amounts.
Bail payments can be made in different ways.
- Cash bonds must be paid in full, either at the jail's bonding window or with the clerk of court, and are accepted as cash, cashier's check or money order; many jails also process cards through a lobby kiosk or online vendor for a fee, so bring the inmate's full name and booking number, and phone the jail at 903-236-1755 if needed.
- You can work with a licensed bail bondsman in Gregg County.
- Many courts allow a property bond, letting an owner put up land or a home after proving clear title and equity of at least the bond (often double) through a deed and a recent tax or appraisal value, with approval from the court that set bail.
