The Duval County Inmate Population
The official adult Duval County inmate population source found in the research is the Texas Commission on Jail Standards population reports. TCJS reports county jail capacity and population figures that are submitted by local jail departments. For Duval County, the local adult jail function is tied to the Duval County Sheriff's Department in San Diego. That local count is different from the state-prison population at Ernestine Glossbrenner Unit and different again from juvenile residents at the Judge Ricardo H. Garcia Regional Juvenile Detention Facility.
On June 1, 2026, TCJS listed 26 people in the adult Duval County jail against a rated capacity of 33 beds. That is about 78.8 percent of capacity. The same TCJS row showed local categories only, with no federal inmates and no contract inmates in the county jail for that month. Arrests, bond decisions, magistration, parole holds, transfers, and sentencing can all move the Duval County inmate population up or down. A small jail changes percentage fast, so seven additional bookings would have put the June 2026 count at the listed bed capacity.
Duval County Inmate Population Statistics
The strongest figures for Duval County come from TCJS spreadsheets and official facility pages. TCJS counted the adult county jail population and bed capacity. The TDCJ Glossbrenner Unit profile supplies the state facility capacity. The official juvenile facility page supplies the juvenile facility capacity. These figures should not be merged into one jail number because each facility serves a different legal role.
| Measure | Figure | Source and Date |
|---|---|---|
| County jail rated capacity | 33 beds | TCJS PopRptCurrent.xlsx, Duval row, June 1, 2026 |
| Total adult jail population | 26 | TCJS PopRptCurrent.xlsx, June 1, 2026 |
| Percent of adult jail capacity | About 78.8% | TCJS PopRptCurrent.xlsx, June 1, 2026 |
| Latest extracted ADP | 23 | TCJS IncarcerationRateCurrent.xlsx, 2026 row sequence |
| Countywide population used by rate sheet | 9,585 | TCJS IncarcerationRateCurrent.xlsx, 2026 rows |
| Glossbrenner Unit capacity | 612 | TDCJ unit profile, inspected June 29, 2026 |
| Juvenile facility capacity | 50 beds | Duval County juvenile facility page, inspected June 29, 2026 |
The TCJS population reports page is the source for county jail population spreadsheets used in the figures above.
That statewide reporting source is more useful for Duval County population counts than commercial inmate directories because it is tied to county jail reporting.
Duval County Jail Population Trends
The first six 2026 TCJS rows show a small jail with visible month-to-month movement. The Duval County inmate population ranged from 19 to 28 people in the adult county jail during the extracted January through June period. May 2026 was the highest row in that span, at 28 of 33 beds. June dropped to 26, still below rated capacity but close enough that a short run of arrests could change the operational picture.
| Month | Capacity | Total Jail Population | Percent of Capacity | Research Note |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Jan. 1, 2026 | 33 | 19 | 57.6% | Mostly local pretrial felony and Class A/B misdemeanor categories. |
| Feb. 1, 2026 | 33 | 24 | 72.7% | Local pretrial felony count reached 15 combined male and female. |
| Mar. 1, 2026 | 33 | 26 | 78.8% | Local male pretrial felons were the largest category. |
| Apr. 1, 2026 | 33 | 24 | 72.7% | Included one local male TDCJ-sentenced category. |
| May 1, 2026 | 33 | 28 | 84.8% | Highest of the first six 2026 extracted rows. |
| June 1, 2026 | 33 | 26 | 78.8% | No federal or contract inmates in the Duval County jail row. |
Who Makes Up Duval County Jail Custody
TCJS did not provide a full race, age, bond-status, or annual booking breakdown in the extracted Duval County research. It did identify the adult jail categories for June 1, 2026. The local jail count was heavily pretrial and local, which means the Duval County inmate population should be read as a jail custody count, not a sentenced prison count. Glossbrenner's state-prison treatment population is much larger by capacity, but it is not the county jail roster.
- Local male pretrial Class A/B misdemeanants: 5 people in the June 1, 2026 TCJS row.
- Local male pretrial felons: 16 people, the largest reported adult jail category.
- Local female pretrial felons: 3 people in the same row.
- Parole or blue-warrant category: 1 local male parole violator or blue-warrant inmate.
- Federal and contract inmates: 0 listed in the June 2026 adult county jail row.
Note: A booking charge is an accusation at intake; a filed charge is the prosecutor's formal court case record.
Laws Governing Duval County Jail Data
Texas law explains why some Duval County inmate population data is public while other details may be withheld. The Texas Public Information Act creates a general path to request public information held by a governmental body. The Texas Commission on Jail Standards statute supports statewide jail standards and reporting. The county jail statute governs sheriff duties for keeping prisoners and jail operations. Bail and expunction are separate legal topics handled in the criminal procedure statutes.
Key Statutes:
Texas Government Code Chapter 552 sets the Public Information Act request framework for governmental records.
Texas Government Code Chapter 511 creates the jail standards agency behind county jail reporting.
Texas Local Government Code Chapter 351 covers county jail and sheriff jail duties.
Texas Code of Criminal Procedure Chapter 17 controls bail and release decisions after arrest.
How to Search Duval County Inmates
No official Duval County online jail roster, inmate search form, public booking report, or adult mugshot feed was located on the county site, the official sheriff page, or the sheriff's standalone site during research. That finding changes the search process. The first official channel is the sheriff's office. The second is a targeted Texas Public Information Act request if the information is not released informally. The third channel depends on where the person moved: court, TDCJ, BOP, ICE, or VINELink.
- Call the Duval County Sheriff's Department admin number during posted office hours, or dispatch after hours for a recent custody question.
- Provide the full legal name, date of birth or age if known, date of arrest, arresting agency, and community tied to the arrest.
- Ask whether the person is currently in Duval County custody, whether bond has been set, and whether a transfer or hold exists.
- If phone release is limited, request the booking sheet, jail record, charge list, bond information, or booking photograph if releasable.
- Use TDCJ, BOP, ICE, or VINELink when county jail custody is no longer the right system.
Current Duval County Inmate Lookup
The official county and sheriff websites did not expose a jail roster field set. That means a Duval County inmate lookup cannot be described as a name-search portal with verified local fields. The safer and more accurate field table is the research finding itself: no public roster form was located. For a current adult county jail inmate, the Duval County Sheriff's Department remains the official starting point. For sentenced state custody, use the TDCJ inmate search.
| Field Label | Type | Required | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| No official Duval County online roster located | Not applicable | Not applicable | The inspected county and sheriff sources did not publish a jail roster form, booking list, booking photo gallery, or inmate profile page. |
The official Duval County Sheriff page supplies the custody contact point for local jail questions.
That contact page is more important in Duval County than in counties with a live public jail roster.
What a Duval County Inmate Record Shows
Because no public Duval County online inmate profile was available to inspect, local display fields should not be invented. A booking sheet or jail record requested from the sheriff may contain booking date and time, booking number, arresting agency, charge labels, bond information, hold or release status, and a booking photo if the photo exists and is releasable. Medical, juvenile, victim, active-investigation, security, and protected personal information may be redacted under Texas law.
| Field | What the Research Supports |
|---|---|
| Booking number | Not located in a public online Duval County source; request from the sheriff if needed. |
| Booking date/time | May be part of a booking sheet or jail record, but no online layout was found. |
| Charges | Jail charges may differ from formal charges filed later by a prosecutor. |
| Bond | Call the sheriff or court after magistration because no online bond display was found. |
| Mugshot | No official public adult mugshot feed was located; request if needed and releasable. |
| Release or transfer status | Confirm by phone or use the correct state, federal, ICE, or notification system after transfer. |
Duval County Jail vs State Prison
The local adult jail and the state prison unit in Duval County are easy to confuse because both are in or near San Diego. They are not the same custody system. The Duval County Jail handles local adult pretrial and county custody. Ernestine Glossbrenner Unit is a TDCJ state facility for male substance-abuse treatment custody. A person arrested in Duval County does not move into TDCJ just because the arrest occurred in the county.
| Question | Duval County Jail | Ernestine Glossbrenner Unit |
|---|---|---|
| Who is held | Local adult pretrial detainees, county sentenced inmates, parole holds, and other local holds. | Male TDCJ inmates assigned to SAFPF or IPTC treatment programming. |
| Operator | Duval County Sheriff's Department | Texas Department of Criminal Justice |
| Lookup channel | Sheriff phone contact and public-information request fallback. | TDCJ statewide inmate locator. |
| Record type | Booking, bond, custody, and local hold information. | State inmate number, unit assignment, projected release date, and state custody status. |
State and Federal Inmate Search
The TDCJ locator covers people currently incarcerated in TDCJ, including those assigned to Glossbrenner. It can be searched by last name with at least a first initial, TDCJ number, or SID number, with gender and race filters. TDCJ says online information is updated on working days only and is at least 24 hours old. Its result list is a state custody record, not a Duval County booking sheet.
The Federal Bureau of Prisons inmate locator covers federal inmates from 1982 to the present. ICE's Online Detainee Locator System searches immigration detention by A-number and country of birth or by biographical data. VINELink is a notification channel, useful for custody or release alerts where available, but it does not replace a jail booking record.
- Detainer
- A request or hold from another agency, such as parole, another county, ICE, or federal authorities.
- Blue warrant
- A Texas parole-violation warrant. TCJS listed one local male parole or blue-warrant category in June 2026.
- SAFPF
- Substance Abuse Felony Punishment Facility, a TDCJ treatment custody setting tied to Glossbrenner.
Duval County Detention Facilities
Duval County has three official facility pages in the research set. Only one is the adult county jail source for local arrests. The state prison and juvenile facility require different lookup rules, privacy assumptions, and visitation rules.
- Duval County Jail holds adult local pretrial and county custody reported to TCJS by the sheriff's department.
- Ernestine Glossbrenner Unit is a TDCJ state prison treatment unit for male SAFPF/IPTC inmates, not county pretrial detainees.
- Judge Ricardo H. Garcia Regional Juvenile Detention Facility is a secure juvenile treatment facility where records and custody details are not handled like adult inmate records.
Duval County Inmate Population FAQ
How large is the Duval County inmate population?
TCJS listed 26 adult county jail inmates on June 1, 2026, against 33 rated beds. The latest extracted incarceration-rate sheet row showed an ADP of 23. Those numbers do not include the 612-capacity TDCJ Glossbrenner Unit as if it were a county jail.
Can the Duval County inmate population be searched online?
No official adult Duval County online jail roster was located in the county or sheriff sources inspected. Use the sheriff's admin or dispatch number, then a targeted Texas Public Information Act request if informal release is limited.
Where do sentenced state prisoners show up?
Sentenced state prisoners show in the TDCJ system when they are currently incarcerated in TDCJ. Glossbrenner Unit uses the statewide TDCJ inmate locator, not a county roster.
Are juvenile residents listed with adult inmates?
No. The Judge Ricardo H. Garcia Regional Juvenile Detention Facility is a juvenile facility. Juvenile custody records and photos have stronger privacy limits and should not be treated as adult public roster data.
