Understanding Williamson County Jail’s Size and Daily Population

Williamson County reports that the jail houses approximately 600 inmates on any given day. Think of that as a snapshot, not a fixed number.

After an expansion, the jail now has bed space for 1,104 inmates. Capacity is a planning number. It explains how the facility is set up, even though the actual daily count fluctuates.

The Williamson County Sheriff's Office Corrections Bureau handles more than just housing. One key responsibility is transporting inmates to and from court, a critical part of how people move through the legal process while in custody.

The bureau also picks up inmates from other counties and states. For families, this is a reminder that custody can involve multiple jurisdictions, especially during transfers.

Inside the facility, the Corrections Bureau supervises inmate recreation, visitation, and other activities. This oversight keeps routines consistent and helps visits run smoothly.

The bureau also handles record keeping and administration. The county describes this as part of managing the Corrections Bureau's $32,000,000 annual budget, reflecting the behind-the-scenes systems required to run a jail around the clock.

Williamson County reports it provides food service to all incarcerated individuals. Meals are one of the few guaranteed anchors of the day and part of the county's core responsibilities for people in custody.

The county also reports providing medical, mental health, and dental care to all incarcerated individuals. If your loved one has ongoing health needs, this is the umbrella of care the county says is available.

Beyond daily care, Williamson County states that education and ministry services are available to inmates. Availability doesn't guarantee the same schedule or access for everyone, but these programs are part of what the jail offers.

For families, understanding the scale (about 600 daily inmates, 1,104 beds) helps explain why routines feel structured and tightly managed. A facility this size depends on set processes for basics like meals and health care. The county describes both food service and medical, mental health, and dental care as services provided to everyone incarcerated there. Knowing these basics can help you ask clearer questions when supporting someone, whether your concern is day-to-day well-being, access to care, or what to expect as their case moves through court.
