Why This Site Exists
Georgia makes many jail and inmate-record channels available to the public, but the records are split by custody type. The DeKalb County Sheriff's Office operates the DeKalb County Jail for local pretrial detention and related jailings, while the Georgia Department of Corrections uses a separate locator for sentenced state prisoners. Federal and immigration custody can require the Bureau of Prisons, U.S. Marshals, or ICE locator channels. This site organizes those rosters, locators, facility details, visitation references, and request steps in one place.
