What the Inmate Search Shows
The Comanche County inmate search gives you a good amount of detail. Each booking record includes the person's full name, gender, date of birth, and physical description. You also see the booking date and time, the charges filed, the bond amount, and the housing unit they are assigned to. This is more info than many county search tools provide.
The search tool updates as new bookings happen. If you do not find someone right away, wait a bit and try again. The intake process takes time, and the record does not appear until booking is complete. For people who were recently arrested, there can be a short delay between the arrest and when the record shows up online. If you need an answer right away, call the detention center at 580-250-1902 and ask the staff directly.
Visitation and 24 Hour Booking Contact
The Comanche County Detention Center uses video visitation. Sessions are available from 8am to 10pm daily. You need to schedule your visit at least 24 hours in advance. This is different from the old walk-in visitation model that many jails used to have. Video visits are conducted through screens at the facility or, in some cases, remotely.
Money deposits for inmates are accepted Monday through Friday from 8:30am to 4pm. If you need to add funds to an inmate's account for commissary or phone calls, plan to do it during those hours. The facility does not take deposits on weekends. For questions about visitation rules or deposit procedures, call the detention center. Rules can change, so it is always smart to call ahead before you make the trip.
