Carroll County Released Inmates Records

Carroll County released inmates records are managed by the Sheriff's Office in Carrollton. With a population over 120,000, Carroll County is one of the larger counties in west Georgia and processes a high volume of bookings each year. The jail at 1000 Newnan Road operates around the clock and holds pre-trial detainees, people serving sentences under 18 months, and federal holds. Booking data from this facility is public, and you can search for released inmates through the sheriff's office, the courts, or state resources.

Carroll County Jail and Inmate Records

The Carroll County jail sits at 1000 Newnan Road in Carrollton, GA 30116. The jail phone number is (770) 830-5888. For general reception, call (770) 830-5916. The facility runs 24 hours a day, seven days a week. It handles bookings for arrests made by the Carroll County Sheriff's Office, Carrollton Police Department, and other agencies in the area. When someone is booked in, staff create a record with the person's name, charges, bond, booking date, and arresting agency. That record stays in the system after release.

The jail houses three types of inmates. Pre-trial detainees are people waiting for their court date who have not posted bond. Sentenced inmates serve terms of up to 18 months for misdemeanor convictions. Federal holds are people kept on behalf of federal agencies. All three groups go through the same booking process, and all three generate released inmates records when they leave the Carroll County jail.

Carroll County also has the Carroll County Correctional Institution at 96 Horsley Mill Road. This is a state facility run by the Georgia Department of Corrections. Do not confuse it with the county jail. Released inmates from the correctional institution show up in the GDC system, not the sheriff's booking log.

The Carroll County inmate roster page lists people currently booked into the jail.

This page updates regularly and shows names, charges, and booking information for Carroll County inmates.

Searching Released Inmates in Carroll County

To look up a released inmate from Carroll County, start with the sheriff's office. You can call the jail at (770) 830-5888 and ask about a specific person. Give them the name and date of birth if you have it. Staff can check the booking system and tell you if that person has been released, when, and under what terms. This works for recent releases. Older records may need a formal open records request.

Georgia's Open Records Act, O.C.G.A. § 50-18-70, gives the public the right to see most booking records kept by the Carroll County Sheriff's Office. You can file a request in writing. State what you need and who you are looking for. The office has three business days to respond under O.C.G.A. § 50-18-71. They can charge a fee for copies, but they have to tell you how much first.

Third-party sites also post Carroll County jail data. These pull from public records and can give you a quick look at recent bookings and releases.

The Carrollton Police Department website is another source for arrest data in the Carroll County seat.

Arrests by Carrollton PD go through the same Carroll County jail, so released inmates data from those arrests is in the county system.

Carroll County Court Records

The phone for State Court is (678) 390-6208. Magistrate Court handles warrants, bond hearings, and small claims at (770) 830-5874. Court records from these offices tie into released inmates data because they show the legal outcome of the case that put someone in the Carroll County jail.

Under O.C.G.A. § 15-6-61, the Superior Court Clerk keeps case files and indexes. If a released inmate from Carroll County faced felony charges, the court records will show the disposition.
