Locate Brooks County Detention Center Detainees

Brooks County Detention Center Overview

GEO's official facility page lists Brooks County Detention Center at 901 County Road 201, Falfurrias, TX 78355. It lists phone (361) 325-3340, fax (361) 325-3342, a U.S. Marshals Service client relationship, ACA accreditation, and a 652-bed multi-use facility. The facility is adjacent to the sheriff's department headquarters and county jail, which explains why County Road 201 searches can be confusing.

PREA material states that the detention center was built in 2001, operated by LCS Corrections, acquired by GEO in 2015, and located on a 40-acre site with administrative and inmate housing buildings. It describes minimum to maximum security levels and adult population operations. These facts apply to the GEO detention center, not the 36-bed Brooks County Jail.

The facility is important in Brooks County search work because its population is much larger than the sheriff jail population. A family member may hear "Brooks County" and assume the local jail, while the actual custody may be a federal-contract detainee setting. Confirming the responsible agency is the first step before using any roster, phone account, visit rule, or mail address.

Brooks County Detention Center Population

TCJS treats this facility separately as Brooks (P). On June 1, 2026, TCJS listed capacity 647 and total population 564 for Brooks (P), with visible nonzero categories including 43 contract male pretrial felons and 521 male federal inmates. GEO lists capacity as 652 on its official profile, so both numbers should be attributed to their sources rather than merged.

Search Brooks County Detention Center Custody

This facility is not searched like a county jail roster. For a federal pretrial detainee, start with the agency and federal court information tied to the case and call the facility to confirm whether the person is held there. For a federal sentenced prisoner, use the BOP Inmate Locator. If immigration custody applies, use ICE ODLS, which searches by A-number and country of birth or by name, country of birth, and date of birth.

1. Call Brooks County Detention Center at (361) 325-3340 to confirm facility-specific custody and visiting information.
2. Ask which agency is responsible for the person, such as USMS, BOP, or ICE.
3. Use BOP only for federal sentenced inmates.
4. Use ICE ODLS only for immigration detention.
5. Use Brooks County court and jail channels only if the person was booked or charged locally.

If a person was first booked by a Brooks County agency and later moved to federal custody, more than one record path may exist. The local jail may hold a booking record, the court may hold filed charge records, and the federal agency may control current detention information. Do not use the county jail phone line as the only source once a federal transfer is confirmed.

Brooks Detention Center Contact

Call before visiting, mailing, or funding any account. The detention center sits near the sheriff jail, but a wrong entrance can waste a trip. Confirm the person's custody agency, ID number, public visit status, attorney visit process, and mail format before taking action.

Visit Brooks County Detention Center

GEO's public profile gives facility facts but did not publish a detailed public visitation schedule in the captured research. PREA material confirms adult detention operations and facility layout details, but it should not be used to infer visiting hours. Ask the facility whether the person is eligible for visits and whether rules differ by federal agency, security level, attorney visit, or current restriction.

Brooks Detention Mail and Phone

Research located a ConnectNetwork facility page for GEO Group TX - Brooks County Detention Center, Site ID 245. It lists AdvancePay Phone and Pin Debit services, with AdvancePay phone 800-483-8314. Fee details were not captured on the facility landing page, so confirm costs and setup requirements before funding an account.

Mail should include the detainee or inmate name and ID if known, but the format should be confirmed first. Federal and contract detention facilities may reject mail that violates agency or facility rules. Ask about books, photos, return address rules, legal mail, money orders, and whether the person's custody agency imposes added limits.

About Brooks County Detention Center

GEO says the facility was financed, designed, and built by LCS Corrections Services in 2001 and later continued under GEO after the 2015 acquisition and conversion period. Its public description lists medical observation rooms, housing buildings, a new kitchen and dining building, and a maintenance shop. GEO also says the facility achieved ACA reaccreditation in 2023 with a 99.65% score.

For current custody questions, do not rely on facility history. Confirm the person's agency, status, and location directly. Federal pretrial detainees, federal sentenced inmates, and immigration detainees use different lookup and record processes.
