The Ochiltree County Inmate Population
The local Ochiltree County inmate population is housed at the Ochiltree County Jail in Perryton, operated by the Ochiltree County Sheriff's Office. Official research found one local detention facility, not a separate city jail, regional jail, state prison, BOP prison, or ICE detention center inside the county. That matters for a custody search because the sheriff roster covers local pretrial defendants, county-sentenced inmates, misdemeanor and felony defendants awaiting court action, parole holds, and other holds shown on roster entries.
The population count can rise or fall for several reasons. Arrests by the sheriff's office or Perryton Police Department add people to the jail booking system. Bond, dismissal, sentence completion, or transfer can remove them from the current roster. A sentenced felony inmate may move from the county jail to the Texas Department of Criminal Justice inmate search, while a federal or immigration matter may require the BOP or ICE locator. The county roster remains the best first stop for current local custody.
Ochiltree County Inmate Population Statistics
The strongest official population source is the Texas Commission on Jail Standards population reports. The June 2026 current workbook listed the Ochiltree County Jail at 48 beds, with 7 total inmates on June 1, 2026. That row put the jail at 14.58 percent of rated capacity. The same research found a county population base of 9,717 in the latest incarceration-rate workbook sequence, with a jail incarceration rate of 1.34 per 1,000 residents.
| Measure | Figure | Source / Date |
|---|---|---|
| Rated jail capacity | 48 beds | TCJS current population workbook, June 2026 file |
| Latest extracted total jail population | 7 inmates | TCJS row dated June 1, 2026 |
| Capacity use | 14.58% | TCJS row dated June 1, 2026 |
| County population base | 9,717 | TCJS incarceration-rate workbook, latest 2026 rows |

Ochiltree County Jail Population Trends
The available TCJS monthly rows show the Ochiltree County inmate population operating below the 48-bed capacity throughout the extracted sequence. Totals were in the low to mid-20s in late 2022, then mostly in the teens during the later rows, with the June 2026 row falling to 7 inmates. No official source in the research file tied that change to a jail construction project, consent decree, bond reform notice, or closure, so the trend should be read as a reported count rather than an explained policy outcome.
| Date | Total Jail Population | Capacity Note |
|---|---|---|
| 2022-09-01 | 23 | 47.92% of 48 beds |
| 2022-10-01 | 25 | 52.08% of 48 beds |
| 2022-12-01 | 26 | 54.17% of 48 beds |
| 2023-06-01 | 18 | 37.50% of 48 beds |
| 2024-01-01 | 8 | 16.67% of 48 beds |
| 2025-06-01 | 16 | 33.33% of 48 beds |
| 2026-06-01 | 7 | 14.58% of 48 beds |
The TCJS population report page is the source to recheck when the current month matters. The county roster answers who is booked now, while the TCJS workbook answers how many people the jail reported for state oversight.
Ochiltree County Inmate Custody Mix
The research file did not locate a full annual demographic report for age bands, race totals, length of stay, or annual bookings. It did capture TCJS category columns and live roster examples. The latest TCJS row had most detailed categories at zero and a total of 7. The roster showed current and released entries with male and female inmates, arresting agencies including the Ochiltree County Sheriff's Office and Perryton Police Department, and charge rows ranging from Class C matters to felony drug, property, assault, firearm, parole, and immigration-related hold language.
- Pretrial and local custody - The county jail is the local holding point before court action and for short local sentences when applicable.
- Felony and misdemeanor charges - Roster rows can show both charge levels, but the court record confirms what prosecutors later file.
- Holds and detainers - Parole or immigration hold text can appear in the roster and may delay release.
- State-prison transfers - TDCJ becomes the better search tool after a felony sentence and prison transfer.
Ochiltree County Jail Capacity
Ochiltree County Jail capacity is listed as 48 beds in the TCJS current population workbook. The June 1, 2026 total of 7 inmates was well below that capacity. Official-source research did not find a current overcrowding emergency, jail closure, DOJ investigation, consent decree, or local construction notice tied to the jail. Because the sheriff page does not publish pod layout, internal classification levels, or housing unit details, the reliable capacity facts are the TCJS bed count and monthly population rows.
TCJS is the state oversight body for Texas county jails. Its role is different from the sheriff's roster. The sheriff roster gives person-level booking information. TCJS workbooks give county jail population and capacity data for oversight and public reporting.
Laws for Ochiltree County Jail Records
Texas jail population and booking access sits at the overlap of public information law, jail standards, criminal procedure, and court records. The Ochiltree County Public Information Act form asks requesters to describe the information precisely, provide a date range when useful, choose email or standard mail, and state whether they agree to redactions for mandatory or discretionary exceptions. That form is important when a booking record, jail report, or historical photo is not visible on the roster.
Key statutes:
Texas Government Code Chapter 552 sets the Texas Public Information Act process for requesting public information from governmental bodies, subject to exceptions.
Texas Government Code Chapter 511 creates the Texas Commission on Jail Standards, which oversees county jail standards and population reporting.
Texas Code of Criminal Procedure Chapter 15 covers arrest warrant and post-arrest magistration procedures.
Texas Code of Criminal Procedure Chapter 17 governs bail, personal bond, and release conditions.
Texas Code of Criminal Procedure Chapter 55A is the formal Texas expunction route for qualifying arrest records.
Ochiltree County State Prison Search
No TDCJ prison was found in Ochiltree County in the official TDCJ unit directory. That does not mean an Ochiltree County arrest stays local forever. A person convicted of a felony can leave the county jail and enter the Texas prison system. At that point, the county roster may no longer show current custody, and the TDCJ locator becomes the better source for prison assignment, TDCJ number, offense, sentence, and projected release information.
Search Ochiltree County Inmates
The official online path starts at the sheriff page, which links to the Ochiltree County inmate jail roster hosted by Synergistic Software. The roster is free and does not require a login. It includes three useful tabs: Current Inmates, 24 Hours Arrests, and Inmates by Arrest Date. Current Inmates is best for people booked now. The 24-hour page can show very recent bookings and releases. The arrest-date page is better when the booking date is known but the person is no longer on the current list.
The roster should be searched before calling the jail because it gives the basic booking record in one place. It does not expose every possible field. The research capture found no booking-number, date-of-birth, housing unit, facility, or agency filter in the current-inmate page. Use the name filter, then read the status, arrest date, arresting agency, total bond, and charge rows carefully.
- Open the sheriff-linked roster and start with the Current Inmates tab.
- Use the optional name filter when the list has several pages or the surname is common.
- Check 24 Hours Arrests when the booking or release happened very recently.
- Use Inmates by Arrest Date when the date range is known or the current list no longer shows the person.
- Call 806-435-8000 or use the county Public Information Act form when a booking record is not visible online.
Ochiltree County Roster Lookup Fields
The current roster is simple by design. Its main visible search field is a name filter, with tab navigation for current custody, 24-hour arrests, and arrest-date searching. The arrest-date page uses calendar controls with month grids, Today, Clear, OK, and Cancel buttons. That page can show both current and released entries, and it may show a court column where the current-inmate view shows bond amount.
| Field Label | Type | Required | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Filter By Inmate Name (Optional) | Text | No | Single visible name filter on current and recent roster views. |
| Current Inmates | Tab | No | Opens the current booked inmate list. |
| 24 Hours Arrests | Tab | No | Shows recent bookings and can include released entries. |
| Select Date Range to Filter | Date range | Unspecified | Two calendar date pickers on the arrest-date view. |
| Pagination | Links | No | Observed roster pages used numbered pages plus Prev and Next. |
The current roster screenshot source shows how the public list presents names, photos, charges, bond, and pagination.
The screenshot supports the roster-specific instructions above: the page is a public list with a name filter, tab navigation, and individual booking cards rather than a broad multi-field database.
Ochiltree County Released Inmate Records
Released records are not handled the same way in every roster tab. The 24-hour arrest view can keep a released recent entry visible, while the arrest-date search can show current and released statuses for a selected date range. The research also found released records where total bond was redacted. That means a past booking search may answer whether a person was booked, but it may not show all bond details after release.
For older or missing records, use the county Public Information Act channel. The County Clerk page links the public information request materials and lists the clerk contact. A useful request should include the full name, booking or arrest date if known, record type requested, date range, and whether an electronic copy is acceptable. Felony and misdemeanor court records follow a different path through the District Clerk or County Clerk once a case is filed.
What Ochiltree County Inmate Records Show
A public roster entry is a booking and custody record, not proof of guilt. It can show the arrest charge, warrant number, status, bond fields, and arresting agency before a prosecutor files or changes the formal court charge. Read the roster with that limit in mind, then use court records for filed charges, settings, dispositions, and later amendments.
| Roster Field | What It Shows |
|---|---|
| Name and status | Public roster name with current or released status. |
| Mugshot image | Booking-photo image slot when the roster displays one. |
| Sex, age, race, address | Basic demographics visible in the captured roster records. |
| Arrest date and agency | Booking date with agencies such as OCSO Perryton or Perryton Police Department. |
| Total bond | Aggregate bond amount, NOT SET, or redacted in some released views. |
| Charge grid | Warrant number, counts, statute, description, level field, and bond amount or court column. |
County Jail, Prison, and ICE Custody
Many failed inmate searches come from using the wrong system. The Ochiltree County Jail roster is for local jail custody and recent county booking records. TDCJ is for sentenced Texas prisoners after transfer. BOP is for federal prisoners. ICE ODLS is for immigration detainees. VINELink is a notification tool, not a full substitute for a roster profile.
| System | Who It Covers | Where to Search |
|---|---|---|
| Ochiltree County Jail roster | Local current inmates, 24-hour arrests, and arrest-date records | County roster |
| TDCJ | Sentenced state-prison offenders after transfer | TDCJ inmate search |
| BOP | Federal sentenced prisoners | BOP inmate locator |
| ICE ODLS | Immigration detainees after ICE custody | ICE detainee locator |
| Texas VINELink | Custody-status notifications where available | Texas VINELink |
Ochiltree County Detention Facilities
Official-source research found one local detention facility for the Ochiltree County inmate population. No TDCJ, BOP, ICE, regional, or separate city jail facility was found physically in the county. The facility page gives contact, roster, visitation, mail, money, and research-gap details for the local jail.

Ochiltree County Inmate Population FAQ
How big is the Ochiltree County inmate population? The latest extracted TCJS current workbook row listed 7 inmates on June 1, 2026, in a 48-bed jail. That is a monthly reported count, not a live roster total.
How do I search the Ochiltree County inmate population? Start with the sheriff-linked roster. Use Current Inmates for active custody, 24 Hours Arrests for recent bookings, and Inmates by Arrest Date for a date-range search.
Can I look up a released inmate? Sometimes. The 24-hour and arrest-date views can show released entries, but older records may require a precise Public Information Act request.
Does Ochiltree County have a sheriff app? No official Ochiltree County Sheriff or Perryton Police mobile app was found in the official-source sweep. Use the web roster and the sheriff phone line.
