The Denton Co Jail is a low/medium-security detention center located at 127 N Woodrow Ln Denton, TX which is operated locally by the Denton County Sheriff's Office and holds inmates awaiting trial or sentencing or both. Most of the sentenced inmates are here for less than two years. Denton County accepts inmates from surrounding towns, Denton Police Department, and the US Marshal's Service.

New detainees arrive at the jail regularly, with some being released on bail, placed under pretrial services caseloads, supervised by probation agencies, or released on recognizance with a court appearance agreement. Those who are not released await their court appearances at the jail, receiving accommodations including bedding and meals. You can see all the arrest records for Texas here.

As a result of the worldwide pandemic of COVID-19, efforts have been taken to mitigate the risks of an outbreak at the Denton County Jail. The central Booking area is being sanitized three times each shift. Hand soap and sanitizer is available at the entrance of the booking facility. Inmates being booked are checked in first at the Medical window and checked for fever through the Wello Station. Inmates with a temperature of 100.5 or higher (the normal standard) will not enter the facility without outside medical clearance. Jail staff always use gloves, but they are not wearing masks as part of normal operations. Once inside the jail facility, inmates are screened by medical staff. Inmates would only be fitted with masks if a medical official in the jail thinks it is necessary and they fit the criteria for the possible virus. Trustees are instructed to wipe down all areas of the jail with disinfectants at least once each shift (minimum of three times a day). Trustees also mop and clean with germicide acids many times a day.

  • Suspended all outside volunteer workers from entering the detention facility
  • Suspended all trustees from working outside the facility.
  • POD 23 was designated for initial male housing and POD 7 for females. The new inmates will be isolated in these PODS and will remain isolated for 14 days after the date the POD was full. A Second POD was established to house new inmates after POD 23 was full. This second POD will be operate under the same procedures.
  • Inmates are supplied with soap and have access to hand sanitizer. The Jail population has been reduced over 200 inmates since implementation of the new procedures.
  • We have had no cases of COVID-19 in the facility.
