Notes on the record

The Sheriff's Office and the jail are in different towns: administration at 1400 Veta Street in Borger, the Detention Center at 500 North Main in Stinnett, the county seat.
The jail's name appears only on the roster page and its disclaimer; the Jail Information page never names the facility.
The Sheriff's Office site links the Texas Commission on Jail Standards (https://www.tcjs.state.tx.us/) from its footer but publishes no inspection result of its own.
Approved budgets, cover letters and summary pages are published back to FY2015-16.
The Sheriffs' Association of Texas directory entry for this county is out of date (it names Jerry Langwell); the county's own site is the source used here.
Four commissioners plus the County Judge, who presides. Precinct 1 Gary Alexander, Precinct 2 Dwight Kirksey, Precinct 3 Ben Bentley, Precinct 4 Chris Prock; County Judge Cindy Irwin. Meetings are streamed to YouTube.

These three offices decide who sits in a cell in Hutchinson County and what it costs the people who live here. Nationally, almost 77% of the people who died in local jails in 2019 had not been convicted of anything, and suicide was the leading single cause of those deaths (Bureau of Justice Statistics, Mortality in Local Jails, 2000–2019).

How much is your sheriff — and your judge — costing you?

Your VOTE is POWERFUL.

The sheriff who runs this jail is elected. So are the commissioners who pay for it.
