CLASSIFICATION
Classification is not a department that the general public will normally deal with but understanding what they do may help to take away some of the anxiety of family and friends of inmates. Classification determines many things. They decide where the inmate is going to be housed based on the type of charge, whether he is to be listed as violent or non-violent, on his gang affiliation, his sexual orientation and various other factors. They aim for safety for the inmate and overall security. An individual can be moved to a different location by Classification for various reasons.
Classification is also the department that determines if an inmate is eligible for the MATCH/PATCH Program and for trustee status. If they allow an inmate to be a trustee they also determine what area that individual is able to work in. Basically, this department has the final say on where an inmate is located and on what privileges he can have.
how do i get inmate sid
number
Crystal – Call Central Records at 210-335-6201. You will need the name and date of birth of the inmate.
We live out of town and need a good probation attorney.
Any ideas?
Mom – Sorry, we would love to help you but we haven’t gotten any attorneys, or bonds people for that matter, to advertise with us. Our numbers are quite good. We think it would be a good business decision on their part but so far no luck.
My boyfriend (we are a gay couple) is in for dealing xanax. I can’t find out if he is in protective unit. They won’t give him mail from me but will allow him mail from his mother.
David – The only reason they would not pass on your mail is if you are violating any policy or you have not addressed it properly. They don’t care that you and your partner are in a gay relationship.
Can someone tell me how the jail court works if you have/had a hearing date prior to getting locked up…..do they just quash the regular hearing and give you a jail court hearing?
Tricia – Courts are assigned automatically by the computer. Some process is set up to determine which cases can be handled in Jail Court. Those cases get re-assigned. The first court assigned is no longer valid.
Hello my son’s in the Bexar County Jail and I have not heard anything I know he was sent to the Bexar County hospital and they were sent back two days later I know he’s on the fourth floor can you tell me what the fourth floor is about and why I haven’t heard from himThank you so much
Cheryl – The fourth floor has a variety of inmate classifications. It’s not just one type of inmate. As for why you haven’t heard from him, there could be many reasons, including that he just hasn’t made the attempt yet. I know none of this helped you, but we don’t have enough information from you to give a better answer.

Marie – He will be taken to medical if he starts going into withdrawal.
My son is in Bexar county jail . He’s been there
3 years and hadn’t got In trouble. He said he was on the phone and that a guy had got jumped . He was on the phone the whole time. He said that the guards went in and no one admitted a thing he got picked out cause he has a red birth mark like mine and got sent to lockdown. He said they gave him 30 days they have no proof and it’s been more than 30 days I called last week they told me that they were looking for a place to put him. I called the next week they said they were nt giving me no information n couldn’t tell me when they will move him. How can I find out if they aren’t keeping him down there without a reason. N when they will remove him from there ?
Liz – There are cameras everywhere outside of the cells and restrooms. It’s possible he was in a blind spot, but not likely. Still, he can always file a grievance. I’m not sure who you called who said they would not give you any information. If you are told that again, ask to speak to a supervisor.

How do you know if a inmate is doing 2 4 one or 3 4 one
Ianita – Everyone is pretty much getting 2 for 1 unless they are problem people. Trustees get 3 for 1.
Are you sure trustees get 3 for 1? Ive called B.C. talked to sooo many different ppl with different answers..cant ever get ahold of the inmate work coordinator to ask him called early in the morning called lady at the noon let’s plenty of voice messages never got a call back even the trustees will give him different answers than not we get 3 for what I don’t know we only get two for one like you can’t get a straight answer out of Bexar County Central Records for nothing they even told me oh it’s what the judge said so I called the the county clerk and she tells me that they have nothing to do with the you know the dates and how they go about it once they get to jail that the judge is no longer sentence them you know where they get this many days for this many days so Bexar County they don’t none of them know the answer and they just give you an answer so you leave them alone because I called down there today to ask like hey is he going to be released soon I understand that you know you’re not going to tell us that you know this is his release date because he’s a trustee because if he gets kicked out of the program course that’s no longer has release date but now that his you know 341 * up they are still saying no he wasn’t getting all inmates get two-for-one no matter trustee or not so I mean what would make anybody want to be a trustee if they’re not getting a little extra perk out of it
Chantel – We understand your frustration. We deal with it ourselves which is why we created this website. Getting information from the jail is frustrating to say the least. The Sheriff’s Office is the one who decides whether they are giving 2 for 1 or 3 for 1. And they can change it at any time. They don’t pass the information on to other sections, like Central Records. We’ve noticed a definite lack of communication between the administration and the departments that deal with the public. It’s not just this administration either. It’s been like that since we started this website.
As with any problems where the caller has tried to get answers with negative results we recommend that the caller contact the Sheriff’s Office. We have heard that the regular number does not go through to Sheriff’s administration anymore, that it routes back to Central Records. If you call the Sheriff’s administration offices, 210-335-6010, and it goes back to Central Records tell them you want to file a complaint and want to be transferred to Sheriff’s administration. Don’t let them give you the run-around.

My husband was arrested for the first time for Felony possession. After court the attorney said he has 78 days left. My husband is a trustee, but i was told he couldnt get 2 for 1 because of the felony. Is it possible for him to get 2for1 or 3for1 still??
Priscilla – Try asking the officers at the Front Desk. They may be able to tell you what your husband is getting. That number is 210-335-6300.
If I am trying to send a letter, how do I get the SID number and location?
Ale – Contact Central Records at 210-335-6201.
ok, I have no idea as to process or system but my daughter was arrested. She was going to be released but there was a warrant from US Marshals and no bond can be posted. How can I find out the charge and if they will transfer her someplace else.
Sir – The U.S. Marshals will come to pick her up. If it doesn’t show why she is being held in the jail computers then you will have to contact the U.S. Marshals’ office.
If my daughter got locked up yesterday but her attorney says she went in as a trustee and will review 3for1 while in jail. What dau will she actually be out? Is each day since yesterday counted as 3days? Im confused….
Darlene – That’s pretty much correct. Each day counts as three.
My son was arrested 9/26/15 in Kendall County for an outstanding warrant from Bexar County. He was not transported to Bexar County jail until 10/3/15. Will the days he was incarcerated in Kendall County count towards time served.
Judy – They usually do but you should contact his attorney to make sure that they get counted.
My daughter is in lockdown is she getting 2 for 1? She jus got sentenced to 25 ‘yrs tdcj time on Thursday. When will they be sending her away?
Jennifer – We are not the Bexar County jail. We are a private website that attempts to help people maneuver through the complicated detention system. You will need to call inmate information and they will not tell you when she is leaving for safety reasons.
How long do you have to be in county jail to apply to be a trustee? Who decides if you get to be a trustee? What are the requirements? Will getting a lawyer help me go in as a trustee?
Vanessa – Trustee status is determined by the jail’s Classification section. Your charge is taken into consideration along with several other factors including whether they need you as one or not.
My girlfriend has been in the bexar county jail for 2 and a half months she has been sentenced to go to Henderson rehabilitation center and it has been a month and she hasn’t been pulled.they were waiting for her medical papers and the nurse told me she had allready sent them yet she hasn’t been pulled.court Wii said that by law they cant hold her more than 40 days or they have to let her go. What is the hold up. Her Sid no is ******* could you please check thank you
Edward – We are not the Bexar County jail. We are a private website that tries to help people who have to deal with the jail. Try calling the officers at the Front Desk, 210-335-6300, for information.

My boyfriend started getting a 3 for 1 since he started working in a trustee pod but his release date is still the same when is it supposed to change?
Pricilla – My understanding is that they aren’t supposed to give out a different release date because anything could happen (he could get in trouble) that causes the inmate to have to go back to straight time.

Hi my boyfriend went to court (signed for his probation) but the judge said he had 30 days in total minus the 10 he’s been in there so (20 more days) for felony charges but he has been working as a trustee in the kitchen would he be getting 2/1 or 3/1? If not could he file for a 12.44 to help get it?
ShayB – You can contact the officers at the Front Desk at 210-335-6300. They should be able to tell you what rate of credit the jail is currently giving.

what department do i call to find out if someone who was arrested 4 days ago is still in a holding cell, in a jail cell, or in medical ward? will they release that information to me?im his sister.
Maggie – You can call Central Records at 210-335-6201. The location code tells them where a person is. They can hold someone in the holding cells for up to 72 hours but they have to move them to a unit after that. Yes they will give you information.

My daughter was allegedly accused in cap murder , she has mental anxiety and depression some suicidal thoughts!!! SHE not in a gang so she’ll get checked every 15 minutes?
Terry – When a person is arrested they have to go through medical processing. Part of that processing includes questions about their mental state. If they determine she needs to be watched she will be put in a special section.

She an exact match for mental health she be okay right ?
Would. They lock her up coming out. 1 hour? I’m so worried?
Terry – We understand how scary it is for family. That’s one of the reasons we decided to make this website, to try to help people. We are not the Bexar County jail. We are a private website. We can’t make any guarantees if she’ll be alright. Even the jail can’t make those kinds of guarantees. Most people who spend time in the jail don’t have any problems.

My son SID # #######, has placed an order for a TV a few weeks & a sheriff confirmed the order & the form & the funds needed to put in the order. The funds for the TV are still in his account, so I’m not sure if the TV has already been ordered. This is very important to us, since he is in Admin Segregation, if you could please process this request at your next earliest convenience & provide a status update on this order. Thank you!
Libby – We are not the Bexar County Jail. This is a private website that attempts to help people who have to deal with the jail. Have your son fill out a grievance form saying he has not been given his television.

My son is in Bexar County on a misdemeanor charge and was placed in the trustee pod and has been there for more than 30 days. He hasn’t been in any kind of trouble to be moved from trustee but woke up Saturday morning and was told he was being moved. He was moved to medium to high security and he is unable to find out why or what might be going on. Is this a normal part of the process?
Carla – Speak to his attorney or tell him to speak to his attorney. Something has changed in how he has been classified.

My boyfriend was working today when I was supposed to visit him and his felony is 3rd degree how will I know if he will be staying in jail for certain amount of days and does it mean he’s a trustee
Kada – We recommend that you call Central Records at 210-335-6201 to find out what his sentence is. Then ask them to transfer you to the Front Desk officers so you can find out if he is a trustee. Central Records will not have that information.

My husband has been in quarantine for 17 days even after taking Covid 19 test the first day he turned himself in. Staff claimed that in itself would expedite the process to get housed. Any idea of what is going on?? I’ve tried calling classification once but it rand for almost an hour.
Crystal – Call sheriff’s administration. They should be able to find out something for you. If they transfer you and the person they send you to doesn’t answer or you don’t get a satisfactory answer, call the sheriff’s administration office again. Remember, the squeaky wheel gets the oil. Make enough noise and someone will get you an answer. It shouldn’t have to be that way, but unfortunately that’s how it is under this sheriff.

What is the number to a classification staff member at the Bexar County Jail?
Griselda – They don’t give out the number for Classification. Your best option is to ask to be connected to the Sheriff’s Administration office. You won’t get to speak to the sheriff, but the clerks there will take your information and either route you to someone or pass on the information to the right section.
