The inmates housed at Formby State Jail located at 998 County Rd AA in Plainview, TX are placed according to their custody level (determined by a number of factors including the past criminal history and the length of their sentence). There are ample educational and vocational training programs for all inmates, especially ones that show a willingness to learn new things that will prepare them for a better life when they are released. The mission is to promote and prepare the offender to leave in better shape than when they arrived, giving them the best chance to never come back and thus lower the state's recidivism rate.
Formby State Jail is maximum security, mixed custody state prison located in Plainview TX with the capacity to house up to 1,100 adult male Texas Department of Criminal Justice (TDCJ) prisoners from J1-J5 and includes some general population inmates and transient offenders. Inmates are provided basic medical and dental care on site and can receive mental health services as well.
Inmates are encouraged to participate in literacy and adult basic education courses and obtain their GED if they do not currently possess one. Vocational skills are taught to inmates in carpentry, electrical, and culinary arts. Formby State selects inmates to work on a farming operation and in the unit garden. Offenders can receive parenting and reentry classes and participate in various religious worship services held through the chaplain's office.

The impacts of COVID-19 are everywhere. No question one of the biggest is the long-term suspension of visitation. Phones are one thing, but there is nothing like seeing your loved one's face.
The Texas Department of Criminal Justice (TDCJ) knows the impact that the family unit has on successful reentry. TDCJ’s goal is offender rehabilitation and maintaining close contact with supportive family and friends is a critical part of that.
To help alleviate that, TDCJ is introducing a new “Remote Video Visitation” system, which allows family members at home to visit, via live video, with offenders on select units. Friends and family registration will begin on Thursday, August 13th. Remote visitations will begin on Monday August 17th.
Remote Video Visitation will be available to offenders at the following locations:
This project is a re-working of the video visitation system that was slated to debut in early March with connections from long-distance unit to unit. Now those systems have been reconfigured to accept registered off-site visitors.
Remote video visitations are 60 minutes long and will cost $10.00. At this time, offenders will be limited to one remote video visitation per month. Due to COVID-19, the visitation fee is being waived for the first 90 days.
Projects are in development to provide potential remote visitation solutions for other units. Please watch the TDCJ website for additional announcements.
In order to participate in the new remote video visitations, follow these registration steps:
Remote video visits are on a set schedule that will begin and end at the scheduled times. Visitors may log into the remote video visitation 1 minute prior to the scheduled start. Sessions will not be extended due to delayed start times. Any session not started within 15 minutes of the scheduled start time, will require rescheduling. In the event of issues or technical difficulties, visitors may log out and log back in during the visit.
If you experience any problems, please contact the Securus Customer Service Center at 1-877-578-3658.

If the visitor is under the age of 18 and is not a family member of the inmate, the minor visitor must be accompanied by a parent or guardian.
