The Potter Co Jail is a detention center located at 13100 NE 29th St Amarillo, TX which is operated locally by the Potter County Sheriff's Office and holds inmates awaiting trial or sentencing or both. Most of the sentenced inmates are here for less than two years. Potter County accepts inmates from surrounding towns, Amarillo Police Department, and the US Marshal's Service.
New detainees arrive at the jail regularly, with some being released on bail, placed under pretrial services caseloads, supervised by probation agencies, or released on recognizance with a court appearance agreement. Those who are not released await their court appearances at the jail, receiving accommodations including bedding and meals.
The Potter County Detention Center, completed in November 1995, is a substantial facility spanning 125,000 square feet and accommodating 576 beds within its General Population area. Additionally, the center includes a 27-bed infirmary and two designated violent cells, serving a diverse population of inmates. This facility houses individuals awaiting trial, those sentenced to County Corrections, and inmates awaiting transfer to State and Federal Correctional Institutions.
On February 3, 2017, the Potter County Detention Center introduced Inmate Programs, aimed at providing inmates with opportunities for personal development and positive change. These programs include a variety of classes designed to enhance life skills and promote emotional healing. Notable offerings include Life Skills classes, which cover essential topics such as job readiness, parenting, grief and loss, empowerment, and wellness. The center also provides intensive small group programs, such as Houses of Healing, focused on emotional recovery; Seeking Safety, which addresses trauma and substance abuse issues; and Relationships While in Recovery, aimed at teaching skills for building and maintaining healthy relationships. Additionally, the Healing Write program encourages inmates to engage in therapeutic journal writing.
The Sharing Hope program, which operates across 49 states, specifically supports women in recovery from destructive behaviors through the teachings of God's Word. The Potter County Sheriff's Office annually hosts a Chili Fundraiser to support the impactful work of Sharing Hope for incarcerated women.
Furthermore, the facility offers GED classes, having started this initiative on February 15, 2017. Several inmates have taken advantage of this educational opportunity, with two graduates and others nearing completion. Importantly, the program allows individuals to continue their education remotely, providing a seamless transition if they are released.
The transportation section of the Corrections Division plays a crucial role in the operational effectiveness of the Potter County Detention Center. This section comprises one Texas Department of Criminal Justice (TDC) Coordinator and six transportation officers, all trained in specialized techniques for handling security and defensive tactics. These officers are responsible for transporting inmates to various courts, county jails, hospitals, doctors' offices, and other state agencies. They also handle inmate transfers to various TDC facilities and the retrieval of inmates on bench warrants.
To ensure competency and safety, transportation officers undergo annual testing that evaluates their weapons proficiency, obstacle navigation, and physical endurance through a quarter-mile run. Officers seeking to transfer to the transportation section must pass the same qualification tests and an oral review board, maintaining high standards within this critical area of operations.
