Local arrests, new bookings, and pretrial detainees in Gray County are generally handled through the county jail system, while this facility is part of the state prison system.
Contact and Location Information
How to Find an Inmate at Rufe Jordan Unit
To find someone here, use the official inmate search link available on this page for the facility’s roster or offender lookup. County jail rosters typically list a person’s name, booking date, charges, and custody status, while a TDCJ search may list the inmate’s name, TDCJ number, location, offense information, and release or parole details. Records do not always appear immediately after an arrest or transfer because intake and processing can take several hours. If the person was just arrested in Gray County, also check the county jail roster because pretrial detainees are usually listed there before any state prison transfer.

What happens during the intake process at Rufe Jordan Unit and when will the inmate appear in the system?
