Guadalupe Adult Detention Center, TX

Visiting days at Guadalupe Adult Detention Center depend on the inmate's last name: A–L visit Fridays and Sundays, M–Z visit Saturdays and Mondays. Male visiting hours run 8:30–10:30 a.m. and 12:00–4:00 p.m.; female visiting hours are 8:00–10:00 p.m. Each inmate gets two visits per week, capped at 30 minutes each (60 minutes total weekly)—you can't combine them into a single 60-minute visit. Bring only your ID and keys. Accepted photo ID includes a state driver's license, License to Carry Handgun, military ID, passport, or other government-issued photo ID. Dress conservatively—no revealing or see-through clothing. Attorneys can visit 24 hours a day except during emergencies. Visits may be delayed or restricted for headcounts, feeding, security, lockdowns, or health reasons, and unavailable dates may be hidden in the scheduler.

Guadalupe Adult Detention Center has inmate phones in the housing units daily from 7:00am to 11:00pm. Staff won't accept incoming calls or pass messages to anyone in custody.

GTL/ViaPath disclosed an August 2020 data exposure affecting Telmate users and published a PDF with details and recommended mitigation steps.

Guadalupe Adult Detention Center routes incoming non-privileged mail through Viapath (PO BOX 247, Phoenix, MD 21131). Pages and photos are scanned and delivered digitally—physical originals, including printed photos, never reach the inmate. On every item, include your full name and complete return address, plus the inmate's full name and SO#. Newspapers are allowed only by subscription and must go to 2615 N Guadalupe St; papers older than seven days get tossed. Mail containing stickers, glitter, lipstick, perfume/cologne, bodily fluids, or similar materials can be refused, returned, and may trigger criminal charges. For outgoing mail, envelopes must show the inmate name, SO#, cell#, and the detention center address. Inmates are told not to seal envelopes—general mail may be opened and read. Indigent inmates may receive limited free supplies, and delivery help is available at info@textbehind.com. Legal/privileged mail follows a separate process.
