The Angelina County Detention Center has relatively liberal mail rules compared to other local jail facilities.  They permit inmates to get as much mail as they want, without limiting the number of letters they can get each day.

Generally, the Angelina County Detention Center allows most inmate mail as long as it does not violate any of the jail’s rules.

Outgoing inmate mail needs to comply with U.S. Postal Service regulations.  Specific jail rules for mail include the following:

All mail should have the inmate’s full name (the name used at the time of booking), cell designation or dorm designation, and the facility’s address in the upper left hand corner of the envelope.

All mail should show the name and complete address of the person being written; no mail should be sent for delivery to third parties.

Mail is placed in an envelope for pick up at the same time as breakfast trays.  The envelopes should not be sealed, unless the mail is being sent to federal officials, state officials, bona fide new media, or attorneys.  If you seal an envelope, it must be labeled as either “legal mail” or “privileged mail.”  Otherwise, any outgoing mail is subject to inspection for contraband.

In addition to contraband, mail will be inspected for its contents.  Prohibited content includes: inflammatory writings, information regarding escape plans, information regarding the manufacturing explosives, information regarding the manufacture of guns, information regarding the manufacture of drugs, hard core pornography, solicitations of the breakdown of the jail through inmate disruption, writing that would encourage deviant criminal sexual behavior, or any mail that would otherwise be considered detrimental to an inmate’s rehabilitation.

If mail is rejected, then it is placed back in an inmate’s property box, and may be used as the basis for disciplinary action.

For incoming mail, all mail other than legal mail or privileged mail will be opened and inspected prior to delivery to the inmate.  Any mail containing contraband can subject the recipient to prosecution.

Incoming inmate mail must comply with the following rules:

Must include a full return address, including name and address on the envelope.  Any incoming mail without a return address will be returned to the post office.

Angelina County Jail Roster

The Angelina County Detention Center has a jail roster that presents all incarcerated inmates in alphabetical order.  Each of the inmates on the roster is listed by: last name, first name, middle name; sex; height; weight; eye color; hair color; and booking date.  When you click on an inmate’s name, it pulls up a record of the inmate that includes the inmate’s age, days confined, the offense charged, the degree of the offense charged, the bond amount if bond has been set, the reason for the hold if applicable, and the arresting agency.  It also provides any known aliases for the inmate, as well as scars, marks, or tattoos.  While you cannot list the inmates according to the other parameters, you can search in reverse alphabetical order.  In addition, the at-a-glance presentation of inmates and some of their identifying characteristics means that you can conduct a visual search looking at those other characteristics, in case you need to search for an inmate by something other than name.

Inmate Bookings / Recent Arrests

The Angelina County Detention Center’s jail roster does not have the functionality to allow it to work as an inmate booking or recent arrest roster.  You cannot arrange for it to present inmates in the order of their booking or arrest date.  However, each inmate record contains the booking date, even in the overview function.  Therefore, you could use your computer’s CNTL+F find function to search for inmates booked on a particular date or conduct a visual search of all inmate records looking for recent booking dates.  The jail roster does provide inmate booking date information, as well as: first, middle, and last name; known aliases; gender; height; weight; eye color; hair color; tattoos, scars, or marks; and a booking photo.  It also provides information about the crime charged, the degree of that crime, any bond amount, the arresting agency, and why the inmate is being detained.

Bail Information

In Angelina County, the Angelina County Sheriff’s Department is authorized to accept bail on behalf of an inmate.  The Angelina County Detention Center does not provide information about an inmate’s court dates to the public; however, you can find out if an inmate is eligible for bond and the amount of any bond that has been ordered by looking up the inmate’s information on the inmate roster.  Not every inmate is bond eligible.  In addition, not every inmate will have a bond amount that is easily payable in cash.  Make sure and check bond amounts for each offense; an inmate will only be released after bond for each offense has been paid.

In Texas, the judge may order a cash bond.  You can pay this bond in full, which is known as a cash bond.  The full amount of the bond is refundable, as long as the defendant appears at all scheduled court dates and otherwise complies with the terms of his or her bond.  If you cannot pay the bond in full, you may engage the services of a surety, also known as a bail bondsman, to promise the full amount of the bond in the event that the defendant fails to appear at a scheduled court date or to comply with other conditions of bond. 

Sureties charge a fee, usually 10% of the ordered bond, for these services.  The Angelina County Jail cannot recommend a particular bail bondsman, but you can locate them online, in the Yellow Pages, or with the help of a defense attorney.
