Locate Eagle Pass Detention Facility Inmates

Eagle Pass Federal Overview

Eagle Pass Detention Facility is separate from the sheriff-operated Tom Bowles Detention Center. The GEO facility page lists The GEO Group as operator and identifies the client as the U.S. Marshals Service. That makes the facility a federal detention route rather than a Maverick County online roster route. A person housed there may be tied to federal court, a U.S. Marshals Service hold, or another federal custody process rather than a local sheriff booking.

The facility is in Eagle Pass within Maverick County, but it should not be described as the county jail. Sheriff Tom Schmerber and the Maverick County Sheriff's Office operate the local jail path through Tom Bowles Detention Center. Eagle Pass Detention Facility is a distinct contract detention setting with federal-client custody. That distinction is the first thing to confirm when family members hear that someone is "in Eagle Pass" but do not know whether the person is in county, federal, state, or immigration custody.

Eagle Pass Detention Capacity

GEO lists Eagle Pass Detention Facility with a capacity of 661. No daily public population count was located in the extracted operator or official sources, and the GEO capacity figure is not the same as Maverick County's TCJS county jail population row. The county population report tracks Tom Bowles Detention Center as the county jail. Eagle Pass Detention Facility should be treated as a federal-client facility for lookup purposes, even though it is located in Maverick County.

The facility screenshot in the image below comes from the GEO Eagle Pass Detention Facility page, which is the source for the listed capacity, client, address, phone, and facility-description facts.

The screenshot supports the facility-specific details used here, but it does not replace a live custody check with the facility, USMS, BOP, ICE, or the relevant federal court.

Lookup Eagle Pass Detainees

Do not start with the Maverick County jail roster when the person may be at Eagle Pass Detention Facility. The research identifies the facility as a U.S. Marshals Service client facility. For a sentenced federal inmate, the Federal Bureau of Prisons inmate locator is the standard public search route. For a federal pretrial detainee, the BOP locator may not show the person because USMS controls many pretrial detention placements before a final sentence and BOP designation. If immigration custody is involved, the ICE Online Detainee Locator System is a separate route.

1. Confirm whether the person is in county custody at Tom Bowles or federal custody at Eagle Pass Detention Facility.
2. For sentenced federal custody, search BOP by register number or by first, middle, and last name.
3. For federal pretrial custody, call the facility or use federal court and USMS channels tied to the case.
4. For immigration custody, search ICE ODLS by A-Number and country of birth, or by biographical information.
5. Verify any release date or transfer information directly, because federal detainee movement can change quickly.

Eagle Pass Contact Details

The operator page gives a public facility phone and fax, but the extracted page did not publish a public visitation calendar, detainee mail format, commissary vendor, phone-rate table, or attorney-visit procedure. Call the facility before sending mail, planning travel, or relying on a third-party custody claim. If the person is actually held in the county jail, the Maverick County contact directory points back to the sheriff and jail line for Tom Bowles Detention Center.

Eagle Pass Visit Rules

The extracted GEO facility page did not include a public visitation schedule for Eagle Pass Detention Facility. Federal-client detention facilities may require agency approval, identity checks, scheduling, dress-code compliance, and same-day security clearance. A person may also be unavailable due to court transport, medical movement, transfer, lockdown, or a federal restriction. Since no official schedule was captured, the most accurate public instruction is to call the facility and ask for current detainee-specific rules.

Eagle Pass Mail Money

No public detainee mail format, mail scanning policy, commissary fee schedule, phone rate table, or deposit vendor was found in the extracted Eagle Pass Detention Facility page. Federal and immigration detention settings can have strict routing rules, and some rules may depend on whether the detainee is under USMS, ICE, or another authority. Do not assume the Maverick County jail mail rule applies, and do not assume a commercial deposit site is official without confirmation from the facility.

Eagle Pass Custody Systems

Federal detention language can confuse families because "federal inmate" can mean different things at different times. A USMS pretrial detainee is normally awaiting federal court action and may be housed in a contract or local facility. A BOP inmate has usually been sentenced or otherwise placed in BOP custody, and the public BOP locator is built for that system. An ICE detainee uses a different locator and may have an immigration case rather than a criminal sentence. County jail custody remains a separate Maverick County sheriff issue.

Eagle Pass Facility Features

GEO states that Eagle Pass Detention Facility provides housing, management, and supervision services. The operator page also lists residential care, medical services, food service, and rehabilitation programs. Facility-description language says housing areas have access to recreation areas, a library, a barbershop, medical triage rooms, programming classrooms, and case management offices. Those details are specific to Eagle Pass Detention Facility and should not be copied onto the Tom Bowles county jail page.

The operator also says the facility was designed in compliance with TCJS and ACA standards and references an ACA accreditation pursuit score of 99.3 percent in 2023. That is a facility-quality and standards detail, not a live custody roster. It does not tell whether a specific person is present, eligible for a visit, or due for transfer. For those questions, call the facility and use the controlling federal locator or court source.

Eagle Pass Detention History

The GEO page says the company purchased the Eagle Pass Detention Facility in 2017 and reactivated it in August 2018 after renovations. The research did not locate a current official termination notice or daily population report for the facility. It also did not locate a BOP-operated institution in Maverick County from the BOP facility-list route, which supports the distinction between a BOP locator search and a USMS-client detention placement.

Maverick County official pages remain relevant when the arrest or court case is local. The county Open Records Request page is the route for county-held public records, and the Maverick County clerks or re:SearchTX route local court filings. A person housed at Eagle Pass Detention Facility may still have a local tie, but the public custody lookup should follow the agency that controls the detention.
