The Red River County Inmate Population
The local Red River County inmate population is held at the Red River County Sheriff's Office and Jail in Clarksville. The sheriff's page names Sheriff Jimmy Caldwell, links the county jail inmate listing, and points readers to VINELink for custody status. No separate city jail, regional jail, state prison, federal prison, or ICE detention center was found in official sources as a distinct detention facility inside Red River County. That makes the county jail the local hub for arrests, booking, short local custody, bench-warrant holds, parole-violator holds, and people waiting for transfer.
The population count changes as arrests, bond decisions, court orders, and transfers move people in and out of custody. A person arrested in Red River County may appear on the county roster after booking. If the person is sentenced to Texas prison or state jail custody, the search moves to the Texas Department of Criminal Justice. Federal sentenced inmates use the Bureau of Prisons locator, while immigration detainees use ICE's locator. Those systems do not replace the Red River County jail roster. They cover different custody stages.
Red River County Inmate Population Statistics
The best official source located for Red River County jail population numbers is the Texas Commission on Jail Standards population reports. TCJS reported a Red River County Jail rated capacity of 95 beds and a total jail population of 35 for the June 1, 2026 report month. The companion incarceration-rate workbook listed an average daily population of 54 and a countywide population value of 11,696 for the same report row. TCJS also notes that county agencies submit the data and remain responsible for its quality.

Red River County Inmate Population Trends
TCJS records inspected for the Red River County inmate population show a jail that was below its reported capacity in the months captured by the research file. September 2022 showed 75 total inmates against 95 beds. The 2026 rows then moved down from the low 60s early in the year to 35 total inmates in June. These figures should be read as official monthly snapshots, not as a live head count. The roster inspected on June 30, 2026 returned 37 public listing rows, which differs from the June 1 TCJS monthly count because the sources and dates are not the same.
| Report Month | Population / ADP | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| September 1, 2022 | 75 total | 95-bed capacity, 78.95% of capacity |
| October 1, 2025 | 62 total / 58 ADP | TCJS monthly population and rate rows differ by report type |
| January 1, 2026 | 64 total / 60 ADP | Early 2026 count remained under rated capacity |
| April 1, 2026 | 51 total / 62 ADP | Monthly total and ADP measure different periods |
| June 1, 2026 | 35 total / 54 ADP | Latest TCJS row captured in the research file |
Who Makes Up Red River County Inmates
The June 2026 TCJS row gives a useful custody-status view of the Red River County inmate population. It does not provide a full public race, age, or ethnicity breakdown for the county jail. The row shows local pretrial felony custody as the largest group in the monthly snapshot, with smaller counts for Class A and B misdemeanants, bench warrants, parole violators with new charges, TDCJ-sentenced inmates waiting for transfer, and one state-jail-felony sentence category. Male and female counts appear in several category columns, but the row should not be turned into a broad demographic chart beyond what it states.
- Pretrial felonies: TCJS listed 15 local male pretrial felons and 5 local female pretrial felons.
- Class A and B misdemeanors: The row listed 4 local male and 2 local female pretrial misdemeanants.
- Bench warrants: TCJS counted 2 local male bench-warrant inmates.
- TDCJ-ready custody: The row listed 4 local male and 1 local female convicted felons or parole violators sentenced to TDCJ.
- State jail sentence: One local male convicted state-jail-felony inmate was listed as sentenced to state jail time.
Red River County Jail Capacity
Capacity matters because it puts the Red River County inmate population in context. A jail with 35 people and 95 reported beds is in a different position than a jail above capacity, even though day-to-day housing, classification, medical needs, and court holds can still strain a small facility. The research did not locate an official Red River County overcrowding lawsuit, consent decree, construction bond page, or release order. It also did not locate a local annual booking report or average length-of-stay report. Those gaps should not be filled with estimates from other counties.
Population source caveat: TCJS says county jail departments submit population data and are responsible for accuracy and quality. Use TCJS for official monthly counts and the county roster for current public listing behavior.
Laws Governing Red River County Jail Data
Several Texas laws explain why Red River County inmate population data, jail records, and arrest information are handled through different offices. The sheriff controls the county jail. TCJS regulates county jail standards and collects population data. The Texas Public Information Act controls many requests to the sheriff's office, while court records after charges are filed follow court and clerk access rules. These sources also explain why a public roster may show basic arrest information without showing every investigative detail.
Key Statutes:
Texas Government Code Chapter 552 is the Texas Public Information Act for records held by Texas governmental bodies.
Government Code Section 552.108(c) keeps basic information about an arrested person, arrest, or crime from being withheld under that law-enforcement exception.
Local Government Code Section 351.041 gives the sheriff charge and control of the county jail.
Government Code Section 511.009 directs TCJS to adopt minimum county jail standards and procedures.
Code of Criminal Procedure Article 49.18 addresses custodial death reporting and investigation duties.
Red River County and State Prison Custody
Red River County does not have a TDCJ prison or state jail unit listed in the facility map. Still, a person sentenced in Red River County can move from the local jail into Texas Department of Criminal Justice custody. Once that happens, the county roster is no longer the right search tool. The TDCJ online offender search covers sentenced state prisoners and state jail inmates. It can show state identifiers, current facility, offense, county of conviction, sentence length, received date, release dates, and parole review details when available.
Search Red River County Jail Inmates
The county's official online jail lookup is the NetData/i3 Verticals Red River County Jail Inmate Listing, linked from the sheriff's page. It is a list, not a modern profile database. It accepts a beginning book date, ending book date, and Starting Inmate Name. The public output inspected by the research file showed names, arrest numbers, book dates, dorm codes, and abbreviated charges. It did not show mugshots, bond, full charge history, DOB, physical description, or court dates.
The search can fail for ordinary reasons. A new booking may not be online yet. A released person may no longer be listed. A surname may be spelled differently. A sentenced person may have moved to TDCJ. Federal or immigration custody may never appear in the county roster. For those cases, use the phone line, a written public-information request, VINELink, TDCJ, BOP, or ICE as the custody level requires.
- Open the county-linked inmate listing from the sheriff page or go directly to the NetData roster.
- Leave the date fields blank for all listed bookings, or enter a book-in date range for a narrower search.
- Use Starting Inmate Name when a surname or name prefix is known.
- Choose the Inmate Listing button and read the rows for name, arrest number, book date, dorm, and charge.
- If the person is not found, check VINELink, call 903-427-3838, and use TDCJ, BOP, or ICE if the custody stage changed.
Red River County Roster Search Fields
The Red River County jail roster is distinctive because its public form is simple and its output is closer to a listing report than an inmate profile. The form does not offer a booking-number field, first-name field, agency filter, current/released tabs, or facility dropdown. It also does not publish a refresh-rate notice. The XML output includes a report date and a client name for the Red River Sheriff's Office, which helps confirm the source.
| Field Label | Type | Required | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Beginning Date | Date picker plus hidden text field | Optional | Label says MM/DD/YYYY and blank includes all dates. |
| Ending Date | Date picker plus hidden text field | Optional | Used as ending book-in date. |
| Starting Inmate Name | Text | Optional | Blank includes all; wording suggests an alphabetical starting point. |
| S108LIB / S108PFX / S108CNTY | Hidden system fields | System | Values are used by the NetData form. |
The inmate listing output is useful for current jail status, but it should not be treated as a full criminal case file. For case status after filing, use the court record channels described by the district clerk, county clerk, and re:SearchTX.
What Red River County Inmate Records Show
The public Red River County inmate record is a row in the listing. It gives a practical snapshot of custody, not a complete case history. Charge text can be abbreviated, and examples observed in the research included bench warrant, court commit, violation of probation, TDCJ pickup language, and lead offense names. Those labels can explain why a person is in jail, but they do not prove the final charge that a prosecutor filed in court.
| Field | What It Shows |
|---|---|
| Report date | Date the roster output was generated. |
| Client name | RED RIVER SHERIFF OFFICE in the inspected output. |
| Inmate name | Name formatted as LAST,FIRST MIDDLE. |
| Arrest number | Local arrest or booking number. |
| Book date | Date the person was booked into jail. |
| Dorm | Public housing or location code, not fully explained by the county. |
| Charge | Abbreviated lead charge or custody reason. |
| Mugshot and bond | Not displayed in the public listing inspected. |
Red River Jail vs State Prison Search
The same person may be searchable in different systems over time. The Red River County jail roster covers local county custody. TDCJ covers sentenced Texas prison and state jail custody. The Federal Bureau of Prisons inmate locator covers federal sentenced inmates from 1982 forward. The ICE Online Detainee Locator System covers immigration detainee searches by A-number or biographical information. Federal pretrial custody may involve the U.S. Marshals Service Eastern District of Texas, which does not provide a county-style public roster.
| Custody Type | Where to Look | What It Covers |
|---|---|---|
| County jail | Red River County inmate listing | Current local jail inmates, pretrial custody, short local sentences, warrants, holds |
| State prison or state jail | TDCJ offender search | Sentenced Texas prisoners and state jail inmates after transfer |
| Federal prison | BOP inmate locator | Federal sentenced inmates in BOP custody |
| Immigration detention | ICE ODLS | Immigration detainee searches by A-number or biographical route |
Red River County Detention Facilities
The official facility map for Red River County resolves to one local detention facility. The Red River County Jail is the primary place to check for local arrests and current county jail custody. If a person has been sentenced and transferred, the search should move out of the county facility list and into TDCJ or another custody-level locator.
- Red River County Jail - county jail operated by the Red River County Sheriff's Office for local pretrial, sentenced county, warrant, parole-violator, TDCJ-ready, state-jail-felony, and reported contract categories.
