Who to Call When You Have Questions About Midland County Jail: Detention Contacts and What They Can Help With

For most general questions, call the Detention Division at (432) 688-4745. The Midland County Sheriff's Office Central Detention Center is located at 400 S Main Street, Midland, Texas 79701. Heading there in person? Look for the William Ahders Law Enforcement Building right next door - it's a helpful landmark when navigating downtown.

Need to reach someone in Detention Section leadership - like a lieutenant or captain? Call (432) 688-4600.

Even if you call the right number, jail staff won't answer certain questions. Transfer timing is one: they won't share dates or times for when someone is being moved to another county or facility. Court scheduling is another. To find out when someone has a court date, contact the inmate's attorney - not the jail.

Note: The jail won't disclose transfer dates or times. If you need to plan around a transfer, reach out to the appropriate outside party instead.
