Crisp County Booking Releases

Crisp County booking releases are managed by the Crisp County Sheriff's Office in Cordele, Georgia. Located in the south-central part of the state along Interstate 75, Crisp County processes jail bookings and releases through its detention center. The Sheriff's Office handles arrests from county deputies, the Cordele Police Department, and state agencies patrolling the area. Records of all bookings and releases are kept in the jail system and available to the public through proper request channels.

Sheriff's Office and Jail Records

The Crisp County Sheriff's Office runs the county detention center and keeps all booking release records. The office is located at 210 South 7th Street in Cordele. You can call (229) 276-2600 for help with jail records and inmate inquiries. The jail takes in arrests around the clock.

Under O.C.G.A. § 42-4-7, the sheriff must keep a record of every person held in the jail. This record has to include the inmate's name, booking date, charges, and release date. Crisp County follows this law and stores all booking data in its system. These records cover years of arrests and releases.

Crisp County sits at the junction of several highways, so the jail sees arrests from traffic-related incidents in addition to local crime. All of these go through the same booking process and get the same level of record-keeping.

How to Search Booking Releases

Start by checking the Crisp County Sheriff's Office website for an online jail roster. If one is posted, it will list current inmates with their names, charges, and booking dates. This is the fastest way to check on recent bookings.

If the person you need is not on the online roster, call the jail at (229) 276-2600. Staff can search the system by name. Give them whatever details you have. They can tell you the booking status and whether the person has been released.

You can walk in to the Sheriff's Office during business hours and ask for records. Bring your ID. For formal copies or records from months ago, you will need to file a written open records request.

What Booking Releases Contain

Crisp County booking release records include the inmate's full name, date of birth, physical traits, charges, booking date, arresting agency, bond amount, and release date. Warrant numbers are also recorded when they apply. This data gets entered at intake and updated when things change.

Booking photos may be part of the record. Under O.C.G.A. § 35-1-18, Georgia sets rules for sharing booking photographs. Crisp County follows these rules.
