Where Is the Jail in Amarillo? (Locations + What to Do)
Two facilities, one process. Here's where to start.
If someone has been arrested in Amarillo, one of the first questions is:
"Where are they?"
Knowing which jail they're in, and what to do next, can save valuable time and prevent delays.
At Allstate Bail Bond, we help families locate inmates quickly and start the bail process immediately.
The Two Main Jails in Amarillo
There are two primary facilities:
Potter County Detention Center
13100 NE 29th Avenue, Amarillo, TX 79111
(806) 335-4100
- Serves Amarillo and surrounding areas
- Handles many arrests within city limits
- Check the Potter County Jail Roster
Randall County Jail
9100 South Georgia Street, Amarillo, TX 79118
(806) 468-5752
- Serves Canyon and South Amarillo
- Processes arrests in Randall County
- Check the Randall County Jail Roster
It's important to know which one you're dealing with. The process can vary slightly.
How to Find Out Where Someone Is
If you're unsure:
- Check the jail roster (Potter or Randall)
- Search by name
- Call a bail bondsman
We can often locate someone faster than searching on your own.
What To Do After You Find Them
Once you confirm the jail:
- Check if bail has been set
- Contact a bail bondsman
- Start the process immediately
Waiting is the biggest cause of delays.
Why Location Matters
Going to the wrong jail or calling the wrong office can:
- Waste time
- Delay paperwork
- Slow down release
We make sure everything is handled correctly from the start.
How We Help
We can:
- Locate the inmate
- Confirm which jail they're in
- Start the process immediately
- Handle the paperwork
