The Tarrant County Jail has a capacity of approximately 4,000 prisoners and is comprised of four facilities:

The Confinement Bureau books in approximately 32,000 inmates a year. All inmates are centrally received at the Corrections Center where they are booked, photographed and enrolled by their iris. After the inmates are booked they are classified into one of several categories.  This classification is based on their individual background and as a result of this we attempt to place them with other similarly classified inmates. Once processed in to the jail system, they are housed in one of the four facilities. Inmates are also released only from the Corrections Center. The facilities provide a full spectrum of inmate education programs, counseling services, medical and psychological services.

 

The Confinement Bureau serves approximately 12,000 hot meals per day. A registered dietician makes up each day's menu to ensure inmates receive a proper diet. Special meals are prepared for inmates with medical, dietary or religious requirements.

 

Approximately 600 inmates are transferred to various courts each Monday through Friday.
