Georgia Inmate Search

In 2019, Georgia had an incarceration rate of 968 per 100,000 people, much higher than the nationwide average of 664 per 100,000 people. More so, there were approximately 102,000 offenders behind bars in that year. The inmates served time in state prisons and federal prisons. Likewise, pretrial detainees and offenders serving short sentences of up to 12 months end up in local jails. For this, local law enforcement agencies and the Department of Corrections maintained elaborate inmate databases and made them accessible to the public via their official websites. Then, do you wish to locate someone serving time in a Georgia correctional facility? Check out the steps below: -

Georgia Jail Roster Search 

Georgia Police Departments and Sheriff’s Offices operate 183 city and county jails throughout the state. These primary holding facilities hold offenders for up to 12 months as they await trial, sentencing, bail settlement, transfer to prison, or serve short sentences. Then, was your loved one booked by a Georgia law enforcement agency in the last 60 days? If so, scrutinize the agency’s jail roster to confirm their whereabouts. Most law enforcement agencies provide links to their jail rosters on their official websites. Still, you may need to book an appointment with the jail administrator to search for the detainee in person.
