Kleberg Detention Center Overview

The Kleberg County Sheriff's Office Detention Center is the only facility page resolved from the Kenedy County facility map. Official Kenedy County sources show the sheriff's office in Sarita, but the Kenedy sheriff page tells users to visit the Kleberg roster to check an offender's custody. The facility should therefore be read as the serving detention channel for Kenedy County lookup work, not as a jail physically located in Kenedy County.

The detention center is operated by the Kleberg County Sheriff's Office. It handles local jail booking, roster posting, magistrate and classification steps, jail visitation, phone access, video messaging, mail, commissary, and bond-confirmation routing. Research did not locate an official bed capacity, construction history, accreditation statement, or Kenedy-only facility population figure. TCJS lists Kenedy as no jail, while the Kleberg roster count belongs to the broader serving jail, not to Kenedy County alone.

Kleberg Detention Inmate Lookup

Use the Kleberg current inmate roster for active local custody and the released roster when a person has recently left the jail. The roster accepts first or last name, and it also allows browsing by date and name sorting. A profile can show mugshot, booking number, age, gender, race, city and state address, arresting agency, booking date, charges, bond, and a VINELink button.

1. Open the current roster from the Kenedy sheriff custody link or the Kleberg roster page.
2. Search by first or last name, then use Show All if the spelling or alias is uncertain.
3. Use Date or newest-first sorting for recent arrests when the name search does not work.
4. Open the full profile and copy the booking number before calling about bond, charges, or case numbers.
5. Use TDCJ, BOP, ICE, or VINELink only when custody has moved outside the serving jail roster.

Note: The roster profile warning says charges and bail amounts may change after court appearances, so detention staff should confirm any bond payment or case-number detail.

Kleberg Detention Center Contacts

Call the detention center for current booking, bond, charge, and case-number confirmation. Call the Kenedy County Sheriff's Office for local Kenedy sheriff questions, arrest-record routing, and public-information request direction. Because the facility is in Kingsville and Kenedy County offices are in Sarita, visitors should confirm the correct office before traveling.

Kleberg Detention Booking Process

The detention page describes a detailed intake process. Detainees enter through a protected sally port and jail door, then staff perform a pat-down search for weapons or contraband. If injuries are present, the person is seen by medical staff or taken to a hospital. Staff also complete medical and mental-health screening, take a booking photo, capture fingerprints on a digital scanner, and send results to Texas and national crime-information systems.

After booking data is entered, the detainee receives free phone calls and may spend time in holding before seeing a magistrate. The magistrate reviews complaints and addresses bond. If the person does not bond out before moving from holding, staff classify the person for housing based on factors such as danger level, jail experience, age, background, criminal history, current charge, and gang affiliation. The facility states that general population is the goal when possible, but it is not always possible.

Kleberg Detention Visitation Schedule

Visitation is scheduled by group and custody status. Visitors need picture ID, must sign the visitor roster, and should arrive 30 minutes before the appointment but no more than one hour early due to limited seating. Visits are monitored and recorded. People age 17 or older must be registered and have a valid government-issued photo ID; TDCJ identification cards are not accepted.

Visitors can be checked for criminal warrants. Firearms, explosives, alcohol, narcotics, controlled substances, and marijuana are prohibited. The dress code is detailed and strict, so visitors should read the official Kleberg inmate visitation page before leaving for the jail.

Kleberg Detention Mail and Money

Mail, phone, video, messaging, and commissary are handled through facility-specific rules and vendors. Inmates may receive letters in any quantity, and mail is delivered Monday through Friday except federal holidays. Incoming mail is opened and inspected in the mail room. No outside merchant items are allowed except soft-cover books, and no personal drop-offs are allowed.

Kleberg Detention Bond Confirmation

The public roster has a bond field, but the profile warning is direct: charges and bail amounts may change after court appearances and may not be current. Bond companies and people posting bail are told to contact detention-center staff for correct bail amount, charges, and case numbers. For a Kenedy County arrestee housed through Kleberg, that means calling 361-595-8500 extension 1251 before relying on the web roster.

Kleberg Detention Directions

The facility address is 1500 E. King Ave., Kingsville, TX 78363. Official sources did not publish cross streets, visitor parking details, public transit instructions, or a separate intake entrance map. Travelers from Sarita and elsewhere in Kenedy County should confirm visit approval, the correct lobby entrance, parking, and current custody before leaving. No official public-transit route to the jail was located in the reviewed sources.

The jail lobby and sheriff office share the same listed address. Visitors should bring government photo ID and follow the visitation page's early-arrival rule. If the purpose is records or public information rather than a visit, confirm whether the correct office is the Kenedy County sheriff in Sarita, the Kleberg detention center in Kingsville, or the court clerk.
