Scurry County Jail Custody
Scurry County Jail is operated by the Scurry County Sheriff's Office under Sheriff Trey Wilson. The jail is the county detention facility for people booked from local arrests, held on county warrants, waiting for a first court setting, serving misdemeanor jail time, or waiting on another custody decision. Its role is different from Price Daniel Unit, which is the TDCJ state prison in Scurry County for sentenced male prisoners.
The jail's official access details are practical rather than database-driven. The county jail page publishes the jail phone, deposit options, video visitation vendor, and in-person visitation rules, but the research did not locate a public Scurry County Jail roster with live search fields, booking photos, charges, or bond amounts. That means a Scurry County Jail custody search should be treated as a direct contact process. Use the jail information line for current custody and use sheriff records forms for written records.
The official jail page is useful because it gives local rules that change how families should plan. It states that video visits are recorded, video appointments must be scheduled in advance, in-person visits are limited, and visitor identity rules are strict. These details matter before a trip to the jail because a person can be in custody while a visit is still barred by scheduling, age, document, or conduct rules.

Scurry County Jail Population
The Texas Commission on Jail Standards current population report gives a sourced snapshot for Scurry County Jail. The June 1, 2026 row lists a rated capacity of 161 beds and a total jail population of 69 people. The same research set reports an average daily population of 48 and an incarceration rate of 2.96 per 1,000 residents in the June 2026 current incarceration-rate spreadsheet.
Those figures do not mean every person in the jail was arrested in Scurry County. The same TCJS row lists 21 contract in-state county inmates and no federal inmates in the county jail population. It also reports local and contract pretrial felons, misdemeanor detainees, parole violators, people with parole holds and new charges, TDCJ-sentenced local prisoners, and state-jail-felony detainees. That mix explains why a simple name search can be harder than expected. Some people are awaiting court. Others are held for another agency, parole process, contract housing, or transfer.

|---|---|---|
| Rated capacity | 161 beds | TCJS Current Inmate Population Report, June 1, 2026 |
| Total jail population | 69 people | TCJS Current Inmate Population Report, June 1, 2026 |
| Capacity used | 42.86% | TCJS current population row |
| Average daily population | 48 | TCJS Current Incarceration Rate Report, June 2026 |
| Contract in-state county inmates | 21 | TCJS current population row |
Search Scurry County Jail Inmates
No active official online Scurry County Jail roster was located in the county sources reviewed. The City of Snyder inmate-search page also states that online inmate search is not yet launched and points users to the Scurry County Sheriff's Office. For current Scurry County Jail inmate records, the practical lookup path is the jail phone, then sheriff records forms if a written record is needed.
- Call Scurry County Jail at 325-573-3581 for immediate custody questions. Have the person's full name, date of birth, and arrest date if known.
- Use the Scurry County Sheriff's Office main number, 325-573-3551, when the question belongs with sheriff records or a broader law-enforcement office.
- Ask whether the person is a local pretrial detainee, convicted misdemeanant, parole violator, TDCJ-ready prisoner, or contract inmate. The answer affects where later records may appear.
- For a written jail history, booking record, report, or background-check request, use the sheriff's open-records forms and give enough identifying detail for staff to match the record.
- If the person has been sentenced to TDCJ, switch to the statewide TDCJ inmate search because the Scurry County Jail process no longer covers the assigned state prison.
The jail phone is the fastest path for current status because a roster page was not found. A records request is a better path for older jailings, booking-history details, or a document that must be returned in writing. VINELink Texas can also be used for custody notification when available, but it should not replace confirmation with the jail for time-sensitive release or transfer questions.
| Lookup Channel | Use It For | Important Limit |
|---|---|---|
| Jail phone | Current Scurry County Jail custody | No public web roster was found |
| Sheriff records forms | Written jailings, reports, and background-check requests | Response depends on record type and release rules |
| TDCJ inmate search | Sentenced state prisoners | Not for a new county booking |
| BOP or ICE locator | Federal or immigration custody checks | No federal or ICE facility was located in Scurry County |
For a broader explanation of phone, records, TDCJ, BOP, ICE, and VINELink paths, use the Scurry County jail inmate records page.
Scurry County Jail Contact
Scurry County Jail and the sheriff's office share the law-enforcement address on 37th Street in Snyder. The jail phone is the public-facing detention contact for inmate status, visitation questions, deposit questions, and jail-rule confirmation. The sheriff main number is separate and can help route records or office questions that are not strictly about a current jail housing status.

Scurry County Jail Visits
Scurry County Jail has separate in-person and video visitation rules. The county jail page states that adults must provide valid state photo identification before visiting, visits last 30 minutes on each visiting day, only two visitors may visit together, and a visitor may see only one inmate per day. Inmate-to-inmate visits are not allowed, even if the people are related or married. No cell phones are allowed in visitation, and children cannot be left alone in the lobby.
The child rule is specific. A person under 18 may visit only if the child is the inmate's child and is brought by a parent or guardian, or if the person is legally married to the inmate. The jail may require a birth certificate with a county seal or a certified marriage license. Confirm those document rules before travel because a missing document can stop a visit at the door.
| Visit Type | Schedule or Limit | Rules |
|---|---|---|
| In-person visit | One 30-minute visit each visiting day | Valid state photo ID required |
| Visitor count | Two visitors together | One inmate per visitor per day |
| Video visit | 8:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. daily, excluding meal times | Prescheduled through CIDNET |
| Video scheduling window | 1 to 7 days ahead | Appointments may be scheduled, changed, or canceled in that window |
| Video daily limit | 3 video visits per inmate per day | All visits are recorded and monitored |
Note: Call Scurry County Jail before travel because custody status, visitor eligibility, and meal-time exclusions can change a visit plan.
Scurry County Jail Deposits
Scurry County Jail uses a lobby kiosk and JailATM for inmate-account deposits. The county jail page states that all deposits to inmate accounts must be made through the lobby kiosk using cash or credit or debit cards, or online through JailATM. The research did not locate a county-published fee schedule or commissary ordering limit, so fee claims should be checked inside the vendor process before payment.
| Deposit Channel | Provider or Method | Published Limit |
|---|---|---|
| Lobby kiosk | Cash, credit card, or debit card | Not published in the county source |
| Online deposit | JailATM web deposits | Check vendor screen before transaction |
| Commissary fees | Not published by the jail page | Do not assume a set fee from another county |
The county source did not publish a complete mail format, banned-item list, or attorney-visit procedure. Use the jail phone before mailing items, sending medicine information, or trying to schedule a legal visit. That caution is important because mail and medical notice rules are often more detailed than a public jail summary page.
Scurry County Jail Booking
A person arrested in Scurry County is normally routed to Scurry County Jail for local booking unless released by citation or handled under another lawful process. The research does not publish a local step-by-step booking manual, so the safest wording is functional. Jail intake records identity, arresting agency, charge or warrant basis, booking time, property, medical screening, mental-health screening, and custody status. Fingerprints and a booking photo are standard booking elements, but no official Scurry County public roster was found that displays jail mugshots online.
After intake, classification determines where a person is housed and which rules apply. Some people wait for a magistrate or bond decision. Some are held on a parole warrant, another county's warrant, or state-prison transfer status. The TCJS categories for Scurry County Jail show that the population includes pretrial misdemeanants, pretrial felons, parole violators, convicted misdemeanants, TDCJ-sentenced local prisoners, and state jail felony detainees. A current custody answer should always include the type of hold, not just whether the person is present.
Scurry County Jail Records
Scurry County Jail records should be read in context. A jail record can show custody, booking, charge basis, bond status, or hold status, but it is not the same thing as a final court disposition. A charge can be changed, dismissed, rejected, or later resolved in court. If a person is sentenced to TDCJ, later custody records move to the TDCJ system rather than the Scurry County Jail contact path.
The jail page does not publish local program details for education, work release, tablets, reentry, religious services, grievance forms, or medical request procedures. Do not assume those services are offered in the same way as another Texas jail. Contact the jail for current program access, medication notification, emergency medical notice, and mental-health alert procedures. For immediate risk, use emergency channels rather than ordinary records contact.
Note: Confirm custody, visitor approval, and deposit instructions with Scurry County Jail before travel or payment.
