Rosharon, TX Memorial Unit View
Memorial Unit in Rosharon, Brazoria County, Texas, is a state correctional facility operated by the Texas Department of Criminal Justice. It primarily houses adult male inmates who have been sentenced to state prison, rather than people held only for short-term pretrial detention.

Local arrest, booking, and pretrial housing are generally handled by county jails, while Memorial Unit serves inmates assigned by TDCJ after sentencing or transfer.
Contact and Location Information
How to Find an Inmate at Memorial Unit
To find someone at Memorial Unit, use the official inmate search link available on this page for the facility’s roster or offender lookup. Jail and prison rosters typically list identifying and custody details such as the inmate’s name, booking or admission date, charges or offense information, assigned location, and custody status. Records do not always appear immediately after arrest, transfer, or intake; processing and data entry can take several hours, and state prison transfer records may take longer to update. If the person was recently arrested in Brazoria County, also check the county jail roster, because pretrial detainees are usually held at the county level before any state prison transfer.
FAQs
How do I visit an inmate at Memorial Unit?
Visitation is usually scheduled under Texas Department of Criminal Justice rules. Check the official visitation schedule and approval requirements before traveling, because visits may require the visitor to be on the inmate’s approved list.
What do I need to bring when visiting Memorial Unit?
Bring a valid government-issued photo ID, such as a driver’s license, state ID, or passport. Follow the facility dress code and property rules, because items such as phones, bags, and cash may be restricted.
How do I make phone or video calls with an inmate?
Inmates generally cannot receive incoming calls, but they may be able to place approved outgoing calls through the authorized phone provider. Video visitation, if available, must be scheduled through the approved system and may require account setup.
How do I send mail to an inmate?
Use the inmate’s full name, TDCJ number if known, and the correct facility mailing address. Mail is inspected, and items such as cash, prohibited materials, or unapproved packages may be rejected.
How does the commissary work?
Commissary allows inmates to buy approved items such as snacks, hygiene products, and writing supplies. Family and friends may be able to deposit funds through the approved payment vendor, but limits and fees can apply.
How is bail set and how do I post bond at Memorial Unit?
Bail is set by a court for people with pending criminal cases and is usually handled through the county jail or court clerk, not by the facility. Many people housed here are serving state sentences, so bond may not be available unless there is a separate pending case.
What happens during the intake process at Memorial Unit and when will the inmate appear in the system?
During intake, staff confirm identity, review records, assign housing, screen for medical and security needs, and enter information into the system. Records may take several hours or longer to appear after transfer or processing, so search results may not update immediately.
