Beaumont Inmate Search and Jail Roster

The Beaumont jail roster is the Jefferson County Jail inmate list, maintained by the Jefferson County Sheriff's Office. Beaumont is the Jefferson County seat and the largest city in Southeast Texas, with a population of about 113,000. When Beaumont police arrest someone, that person is booked and then transferred to the county jail, which is less than a mile from the police station. The inmate search shows current bookings by name, along with charges and bond status. This page explains how to search the roster, who runs the jail, and how to set up automatic custody alerts for Beaumont-area inmates.
