Limestone Detention Release Routes
LaSalle Corrections describes the Limestone County Detention Center as a contract facility for adult men. Federal materials identify detention use connected with USMS and ICE arrangements. The operator manages the physical site, but the government custodian or court controls the legal basis for detention and release. That split determines where to look for a durable record.
A federal pretrial defendant may leave under a court release order, move to another USMS detention site, or enter BOP custody after sentencing. An immigration detainee may transfer within ICE, receive immigration bond or parole, leave under an order of supervision, or be removed. Each event has a different record. A local departure timestamp answers when the person left the building, not whether all custody ended.
| Custody path | Best next source |
|---|---|
| Federal pretrial case | Federal docket and USMS custody record |
| Sentenced federal custody | BOP Inmate Locator and BOP records |
| Immigration detention | ICE ODLS, ICE information line, or agency record |
| Transfer from Limestone | Receiving facility or agency identified in the transfer entry |
Confirm a Limestone Federal Release
Begin with the person’s full legal name and the federal identifier tied to the custody type. A BOP register number, FBI number, INS number, A-number, criminal case number, country of birth, or date of birth can separate similar names. Confirm that the person was held at the Limestone County Detention Center at 910 North Tyus, rather than the Sheriff jail at 912 North Tyus.
- Ask the facility or controlling agency whether the person remains physically held and which authority owns the case.
- For a federal defendant, read the docket for the signed detention, commitment, or release order. An order may precede physical departure.
- Use BOP only when the person entered BOP custody or has a BOP locator record. Read status and date together.
- For ICE custody, search ODLS promptly because its released-person window is limited.
- Request agency custody history when a public locator cannot resolve the event.
“Released to USMS” or “released to ICE” marks a handoff. It does not show that the person returned to the community.
Limestone Detention Center Contact
The detention center stands at 910 North Tyus Street in Groesbeck, beside but separate from the Limestone County Sheriff’s Office. The operator’s source page was unavailable during screenshot capture, so no unverified telephone number or visiting hours should be supplied. Confirm current contact details through the operator and identify the controlling agency before asking for a release record.
910 North Tyus Street
Groesbeck, TX 76642
Operator: LaSalle Corrections
Contact and hours: verify with the operator
Operator facility information
When staff can disclose physical-custody information, ask whether the person left the site and where custody went next. The controlling federal office may still be the record custodian for the legal release decision.
About Limestone Contract Detention
The operator describes the Limestone County Detention Center as a 1,092-bed adult-male facility. That sourced capacity helps distinguish it from the Sheriff jail, but capacity does not identify the authority controlling one person’s case. Federal detention systems use local, private, and federal beds, so the building name alone does not settle whether ICE, USMS, or BOP has responsibility.
Use the operator and custodian together: LaSalle identifies the facility, while the court or federal agency explains detention and departure. This is a contract detention path, not a Limestone County Jail booking-release path.
BOP Limestone Release Results
The BOP Inmate Locator searches by register, DCDC, FBI, or INS number, or by name. A result may display register number, age, race, sex, location or status, and release date. BOP generally covers people released after 1982 and updates the locator daily. Some people held before trial can have locator records even if they never served a federal sentence, so read the entry in context.
BOP says a location or status of RELEASED, or a past release date without a facility, means the person is no longer in BOP custody. It does not prove the person has no supervision or other custody. IN TRANSIT is not release. UNKNOWN means the term is not determined.
The official BOP explanation shown below defines the released status and date fields used in a federal search.
The federal locator can establish the end of BOP custody, while the docket and supervision record place that event in the full case history.
ICE Limestone Release Window
The ICE Online Detainee Locator System searches with a nine-digit A-number and country of birth, or exact first and last name plus country of birth. It excludes minors under 18. ICE states that ODLS includes current detainees and people released from ICE custody within the prior 60 days. That short window makes a prompt search important.
No ODLS result after 60 days says nothing about older ICE custody. Even within the window, the locator may not explain whether departure reflects bond, parole, an order of supervision, transfer, or removal. Call the ICE information line at 888-351-4024 during its published weekday hours when the locator does not resolve the status, and seek the agency record for durable proof.
The official ICE scope image documents that recent-release limit.
The image supports the ODLS time boundary, not a claim about why a particular detainee left custody.
USMS Limestone Custody Records
USMS manages federal prisoner operations and uses a mix of detention beds, but it has no public historical release locator comparable to BOP. For a federal pretrial defendant, the court docket is the public starting point. Look for detention and release orders, a judgment, or commitment documents. Then request existing custody information from the responsible agency when the physical exit time or transfer destination is still unclear.
A signed release order supplies legal authority. It may not show the moment staff completed processing or whether another hold prevented departure. Conversely, disappearance from a facility list does not identify the next custodian. Match the order to a facility or agency movement record with the case number and stable identity data.
- USMS custody
- Federal detention connected to court proceedings and prisoner movement.
- BOP custody
- Federal Bureau of Prisons custody, often after sentence, with a public locator.
- ICE custody
- Civil immigration detention with its own locator and records.
- Commitment
- A legal transfer into custody under a court judgment or order.
Adjacent Limestone Custody Trap
The contract detention center at 910 North Tyus Street and the Sheriff jail at 912 North Tyus Street are distinct facilities. Their similar names and adjacent addresses create a local identity trap. A directory may use “Limestone County jail” loosely, but the record route changes with the operator and legal custodian.
If the booking belongs to the Sheriff, use the Sheriff release entry and Limestone court case. The Limestone County Jail release page covers that local route. If the person was at the contract center, attach LaSalle, USMS, ICE, BOP, or the federal court to the relevant segment. Never combine records merely because both places are in Groesbeck.
Note: Write a custody timeline with source timestamps whenever local, federal, and immigration records appear to conflict.
Limestone Federal Record Requests
When a locator is incomplete, request the existing record from the agency that owns it. BOP provides a FOIA route for federal prison records. USMS records may fill a pretrial movement gap, subject to identity, authorization, and disclosure limits. ICE records may clarify its own custody event. Ask for a defined person, identifier, facility, and date range rather than asking an agency to create a narrative.
Keep each custody segment separate. A Limestone facility departure entry, federal court order, BOP release result, and ICE locator response answer different questions. The Limestone County released inmate lookup explains how those federal paths fit beside county and TDCJ records. The controlling agency’s affirmative record is stronger than a blank search result.
Record the source and time for every step: arrival at the contract center, the court or agency action, departure from North Tyus Street, arrival with a receiving custodian, later release, and any supervision. A future date remains projected. An agency handoff remains custody until the next source shows otherwise. When two records conflict, compare the case number and federal identifier first, then seek the certified or agency-owned entry rather than choosing the result with the newest screen date.
