Searching for Jasper County Released Inmates Online

Jasper County is not one of the larger counties in Georgia, and online jail search tools from the sheriff's office may be limited. Some smaller counties don't post real-time jail rosters on their websites. In those cases, third-party sites step in to fill the gap. These sites collect public booking data from Georgia counties, including Jasper, and make it searchable online.

Third-party jail roster sites show names, charges, booking dates, and sometimes mugshots for Jasper County inmates. The data is public and free to view. However, these sites may lag behind the actual jail records by a day or more. If you need the most current data, contact the sheriff's office in Monticello directly.

The state also has tools. The Georgia Department of Corrections runs a search at gdc.georgia.gov/offender-info/find-offender that covers state prison inmates. If someone from Jasper County got a state sentence, they will show up there. County jail records are separate and live with the sheriff's office.

The GDC main page links to multiple tools for searching state inmate records.

Use the GDC site when a Jasper County released inmate may have been transferred to state custody.
