The Grimes Co Jail is a low/medium-security detention center located at 382 FM 149 W Anderson, TX which is operated locally by the Grimes 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. Grimes County accepts inmates from surrounding towns, Anderson 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.

The jail is approved to house 111 inmates, including both males and females on both misdemeanor and felony charges. Some inmates are awaiting trial. Others have been convicted and are awaiting transfer to the Texas Department of Criminal Justice to serve their time.

Religious and library services are available to all inmates through volunteer programs. The jail also has two inmate work programs: the diversion work program and the garden project. The diversion work program provides numerous services to the community such as picking up trash at large public events and mowing the grounds of government facilities and cemeteries. The garden project allows supervised inmates to work in an on-site garden and grow produce to be used by the jail kitchen.

The Jail Division has a staff of 22 jailers and 1 nurse. The jail is managed by Jail Administrator Lt. Daniel Caswell. There are also two Sergeants, who provide additional supervision for the jail staff. The current jail facility became operational in December of 1998. The jail has been inspected yearly by the Texas Commission on Jail Standards to ensure state-mandated security and safety requirements are being met. Additionally, the jail goes through a fire inspection and a health inspection yearly. The Grimes County Jail has met and passed the requirements of all three inspections.
