Contact and Location Information
How to Find an Inmate at Comanche County Detention Center
Members of the public can look for an inmate using the official inmate search link available on this page for the facility’s roster. County jail rosters typically list basic custody information such as the inmate’s name, booking date, listed charges, bond information when available, and custody status. Records are not always searchable immediately after an arrest because booking, identification, and data entry can take several hours. If a person was recently arrested and does not appear in the roster, check again later or contact the facility for general booking information. Information can change as charges are updated, bonds are posted, or court orders are received.
