Camden County Inmate Inquiry System

Camden County runs one of the more useful online inmate search tools among Georgia's smaller counties. The system lets you search by name, subject number, booking number, custody status, or date range. That means you can look up released inmates from Camden County by narrowing the custody status to people who have been let go. The search pulls from the jail's booking database and shows results in real time.

Each record in the system shows key details about the person. You get the full name, booking date, charges, bond information, and custody status. For released inmates, the status field will show that the person is no longer in custody at the Camden County jail. This makes it easy to confirm whether someone has been released and when that happened.

The Camden County inmate inquiry portal gives direct access to the search tool.

You can filter by custody status and date range to find specific released inmates from the Camden County jail.

Georgia's Open Records Act under O.C.G.A. § 50-18-70 backs up the right to see these records. The Camden County Sheriff's Office must provide booking data when asked. The online portal saves you the step of filing a formal request for most basic lookups of released inmates in Camden County.

Released Inmates Records in Camden County

When someone is arrested in Camden County, deputies or officers bring them to the jail for booking. The jail creates a record that has the person's name, date of birth, physical description, charges, and arresting officer. A booking number gets assigned. Bond is set by the court or a judge, and that amount goes on the record. All of this stays in the system after the person leaves the jail. Released inmates records in Camden County are just booking records for people no longer in custody.

O.C.G.A. § 42-1-6 requires jails in Georgia to keep records on all inmates. That includes the Camden County jail. The law covers both current inmates and those who have been released. So the data does not go away once someone posts bond or finishes their sentence. You can go back and search for released inmates from months or even years ago, depending on how far back the Camden County system goes.

Records may not be available for juvenile cases. O.C.G.A. § 15-11-702 protects juvenile records from public access in most cases.

Camden County Jail Information

The Camden County jail handles all local bookings. It operates around the clock. Deputies process arrests at any time of day or night, so the released inmates data gets updated constantly. The facility offers video visitation, which lets family and friends of inmates communicate through a video system rather than in-person visits. This is a trend across many Georgia jails, and Camden County has it set up for both current inmates and as a record of communication for those who have since been released.
