About the Tom Green County Detention Center

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.
