Fulton County jail inmate search

You can check custody status through the Fulton County Sheriff's Office jail roster. The Fulton County Sheriff's Office manages this database and refreshes it 1 time per day. Because of that daily schedule, someone arrested earlier today may not appear on the screen yet. Call 404-613-2000 if you need to check on a recent arrest right away, or read our steps to find someone in jail.

Every person arrested in the county goes to the Main Jail at 901 Rice Street NW for intake processing. Intake is the step where staff record the person's name, fingerprints, and charges. Because the online list only refreshes 1 time a day, calling the jail is the best way to confirm a recent arrest.

The Main Jail Front Desk stays open 24/7, according to the Fulton County Sheriff's Office Jail Division. You can visit the desk in person or call (404) 613-2002 to ask about charges and bond. Anyone who does not bond out sees a judge in the first 24 hours after arrest.

A bond is money or property pledged to the court to guarantee that an arrested person will return for court. Georgia allows unsecured judicial release, though bail restricted charges require secured bail, a professional bondsman, or sheriff approved property.

The Bond Administration Unit handles cash, property, and professional bonding company bonds. Each bond carries a $20 fee that is not refunded. The jail does not accept checks or cards in person, but you can pay cash bonds online by card. Call 404-612-5136 for help, or check the Georgia inmate search hub.

Property processing takes about 48 hours, according to the Sheriff's Office Jail Division. A person in custody can sign a property release form so a family member or friend can pick up their belongings. Bring a government photo ID to collect the items.
