Lon Evans Corrections Center Inmate Search

Lon Evans Corrections Center Overview

Lon Evans Corrections Center is operated by the Tarrant County Sheriff's Office Detention Bureau. The county describes it as a maximum-security county jail facility and says it received certification in October 2012. It is part of the county's five-facility jail system rather than a separate corrections agency with its own public roster.

The research gives unusually specific building details for Lon Evans. The facility is 207,700 square feet, five stories, and LEED Gold certified. The county identifies LEED Gold as the U.S. Green Building Council's second-highest certification, based on efficient use of energy, water, and materials. For inmate lookup purposes, those design details do not change the search process, but they explain why this page should not read like a generic county jail profile.

An inspected Tarrant County inmate profile linked a current inmate to Lon Evans Corrections Center through the "currently in custody at" field. That field is the practical way to confirm whether someone is housed here after county booking and classification. A person booked into the county system may move between facilities as classification, security, court transport, or operational needs change.

Lon Evans Corrections Center Capacity and Population

The county publishes capacity primarily as a jail-system number. The Texas Commission on Jail Standards June 1, 2026 report listed Tarrant County with 5,015 county jail beds and a total jail population of 4,313. Lon Evans is included in that countywide capacity rather than reported in the research as a separate official public bed count.

Population at this facility should therefore be checked through the current inmate profile, not inferred from the systemwide count. The profile may name Lon Evans as the current facility location, while the TCJS report describes the larger county jail population. The distinction matters for families who are trying to visit, send mail, or verify bond after a downtown Fort Worth arrest.

How to Look Up an Inmate at Lon Evans Corrections Center

Lon Evans does not have a separate public roster. Use the official Tarrant County inmate search for current county jail custody. Search results show a CID, name fields, race, sex, and an in-custody indicator. The individual profile is more useful because it can show a booking photo when available, active bookings, bond fields, and the current facility location.

1. Open the Tarrant County inmate search and search by last name, first name, or CID.
2. Use race, sex, and the records-to-display control when a name returns many results.
3. Open the ViewLink for the likely match.
4. Look for the "currently in custody at" statement and confirm whether it names Lon Evans Corrections Center.
5. Call 817-884-3000 if the arrest is too recent, the name may be misspelled, or the facility field is unclear.

If the person has been sentenced to Texas state prison, use the TDCJ inmate search. For federal custody, use the BOP inmate locator. For immigration custody, use the ICE Online Detainee Locator System. Those systems do not replace the county roster for people still in Tarrant County jail.

Lon Evans Corrections Center Address and Contact

Call the Detention Bureau information line before visiting or trying to resolve a facility question from a search result. Lon Evans is close to the downtown criminal-justice campus, but the roster profile should still be checked before travel because housing assignments can change.

For copies of records, use the Tarrant County Public Information Act process. The county research lists openrecords@tarrantcountytx.gov and fax 817-884-1675, and the county PIA page says a request should include enough detail to identify the records. Full name, CID, booking number, booking date, and requested record type are useful.

Visiting Someone at Lon Evans Corrections Center

Lon Evans uses the shared Tarrant County jail visitation rules. The county visitation page says all facilities have the same schedule, visitor signup begins 30 minutes before visiting hours, and visitors are not processed after the stated cutoff. Each inmate is limited to one 30-minute visit per day and no more than three visits per week, excluding attorney, law-enforcement, or professional visits unless a supervisor approves more.

Visitors age 18 or older must present photo identification. The county also limits the number of adults and children per visit, excludes recent Tarrant County jail inmates from visiting for six months, and enforces a conservative dress code. Check the official visitation rules before travel.

Mail, Phone, and Money at Lon Evans Corrections Center

Mail, phone, and money rules are countywide. The county correspondence page says general inmate mail is mailed to an outside source, scanned into an electronic system, reviewed, and then made available on the inmate's tablet. Legal mail is treated separately. This is important for Lon Evans because families often expect paper letters to be handed directly to the person housed at the building.

Booking, Housing, and Food Service at Lon Evans

All Tarrant County inmates are centrally received at the Corrections Center for booking, photographing, and iris enrollment. Lon Evans becomes relevant after booking and classification when the inmate profile identifies it as the current facility. Because the county profile can name a facility and link an address in Google Maps, that profile is the best public confirmation before visiting or sending facility-specific correspondence.

Lon Evans also houses the jail kitchen. The county says the kitchen is approximately 14,000 square feet, prepares food for all five jail facilities, and uses menus from a registered dietician. Special meals are prepared for medical, dietary, or religious needs. The Detention Bureau overview also reports approximately 10,250 hot meals served per day across the jail system.

About Lon Evans Corrections Center

Lon Evans is one of the most clearly documented Tarrant County jail buildings because the county publishes its certification month, square footage, floor count, maximum-security role, LEED Gold certification, and kitchen function. The broader Detention Bureau says the jail system has passed Texas Commission on Jail Standards certification every year since 1995 and provides GED, English as a Second Language, counseling, medical, psychological, law-library, and recreational-library services.

When reading a Lon Evans inmate result, separate the custody information from the court case. The profile can show active booking and bond fields, while the magistration docket and court portal cover different stages after arrest. A no-bond hold, other-agency booking, or transfer can affect release even when another row appears to have a bond amount.
