Bacon County Jail Roster
The official local source for Bacon County inmate records is the Bacon County Sheriff's Office Inmates module. The sheriff website is an OCV-backed public site, and the roster feed inspected for Bacon County showed current entries sorted by date. The public entry title is normally the person's name in last-name-first format. Each entry then lists an Inmate ID, age, race, gender, booking date, total bond amount plus applicable state fees, and charge text. The feed inspected on June 4, 2026 contained active entries, but it did not publish housing units, arresting agency, court dates, release date, warrant number, or a per-charge statute table.
Bacon County inmate records on the sheriff roster should be read as current county jail records, not a complete criminal-history file. The roster helps with a local custody check at Bacon County Jail, while the Georgia Department of Corrections offender query covers sentenced state custody, Bacon Probation Detention Center, Bacon Transitional Center, and transfers after sentencing. Federal and immigration custody use separate BOP and ICE tools. A person who leaves the Bacon County roster may have bonded out, been released, transferred, or moved into a different custody system.
The Bacon County Sheriff's Office Inmates module is the normal reader-facing route. The Bacon County Sheriff's Office mobile app also advertises the ability to view inmates booked in the correctional facility, so app users may see the same public roster function in a mobile format.
Use Bacon County Inmate Search
The roster works more like a searchable current-inmate feed than an advanced jail database. The OCV manifest says search is enabled and sorting is date-descending. The raw public feed did not expose separate first-name, last-name, date-of-birth, booking-number, or facility fields. Search results still need careful reading because charge lines may repeat when there are multiple counts or citations, and the bond field is one total amount rather than a bond table for each charge.
- Open the official sheriff Inmates page from the Jail menu or from the sheriff app.
- Use the visible search box if the page renders it, then search by name or scan the newest entries first.
- Open or review the matching entry and compare name, age, race, gender, and booking date before relying on a match.
- Read the charges and total bond amount as booking information, not as the final court case record.
- Call the Bacon County Jail line when the entry is missing, delayed, abbreviated, or unclear.
The jail line, (912) 632-5166, is the most specific local phone number found for Bacon County custody questions. The sheriff main number, (912) 632-8515, is the general agency route. The sheriff office's public hours are 8:00 A.M. to 5:00 P.M. Monday through Friday, but booking and custody operations are separate from front-lobby office hours.
Bacon County Roster Fields
The public Bacon County inmate records page does not present a full advanced-search form in the raw feed. The useful search detail is the way the feed labels each result and the fields that appear inside each entry. The table below tracks the roster controls and result labels documented in the research file.
| Field Label | Type | Required | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Search | Text, site-level roster search | Unspecified | The OCV manifest enables search, but no advanced field set was found in the raw feed. |
| Sort | Fixed config | N/A | The manifest config says dateDesc, and no public sort-control options were located. |
| Inmate entry title | Result label | N/A | Name appears in LAST, FIRST MIDDLE style. |
| Date display | Result metadata | N/A | The config says displayDate true, while the visible entry also has a Booking Date field. |
The official OCV roster feed is useful evidence of the fields, but the public-facing sheriff page is the better first link for most users. If JavaScript or mobile display issues prevent a normal view, the sheriff app share page gives an alternate route to the same agency ecosystem.
Bacon County Inmate Profile
A Bacon County inmate profile is a booking display, not a full court file. The roster charge can be different from the formal charge later filed by the prosecutor. Bond values also need care. The field may show N/A, 0.00, or a number, but those entries do not prove release eligibility by themselves. Holds, detainers, probation matters, or no-bond orders can still affect custody.
| Field | What It Shows |
|---|---|
| Title / Name | Public roster name in last-name-first format. |
| Inmate ID | Local numeric jail identifier shown on the roster entry. |
| Age | Age only, not the full date of birth. |
| Race / Gender | One-letter race shorthand and M/F gender field observed in entries. |
| Booking Date | Date booked into Bacon County Jail, shown in MM/DD/YYYY format. |
| Total Bond Amount | Aggregate bond amount plus applicable state fees, or N/A. |
| Charges | Plain text charge or hold lines, without court case numbers or statute tables. |
| Images | The feed has an images field, but inspected entries had no public image attached. |
The screenshot from the official Bacon County sheriff roster page shows the public Inmates module rather than a third-party directory.
The roster screen matters because it shows the local source readers should check before moving to records requests, court files, or state custody searches.
Bacon County Custody Channels
Bacon County inmate records are split by custody type. Bacon County Jail is the county jail at 307 South Dixon Street in Alma. It holds pretrial detainees, people awaiting bond or court, some people sentenced to state custody while awaiting transfer, and other local jail inmates shown on the sheriff roster. Bacon Probation Detention Center and Bacon Transitional Center are Georgia Department of Corrections facilities at 165 Eastside Industrial Boulevard, not county jail branches. They use GDC search and state facility rules.
| Custody question | Best first route | What it covers |
|---|---|---|
| Current county jail booking | Sheriff Inmates roster | Current Bacon County Jail entries and booking fields. |
| Roster missing or unclear | Jail line, (912) 632-5166 | Custody confirmation, bond status, and local routing. |
| Booking sheet, incident report, photo | Sheriff open-records page | Existing sheriff records, booking-photo forms, and incident requests. |
| Sentenced state custody | GDC Find an Offender | State prisons, Bacon PDC, Bacon TC, and transferred state offenders. |
| Victim notification | Georgia VINELink | Custody and release alerts where agency participation applies. |
| Federal or immigration custody | BOP inmate locator or ICE ODLS | Separate federal and immigration systems, with no Bacon County facility found. |
Note: A county jail entry marked as sentenced to state may remain physically in Bacon County Jail until transfer occurs.
Bacon County Detention Facilities
Facility names matter in Bacon County because all three facilities are in Alma and two are state-operated. The county jail roster does not replace the GDC locator, and GDC facility pages do not make GDC the operator of the sheriff's jail. Use the operator and custody type before choosing a search path.

Bacon County Booking Records
A booking record begins after arrest or warrant service and intake at Bacon County Jail. The public roster shows the local Inmate ID after intake, then displays charge text and bond status as entered for the jail record. It does not show the booking officer, arresting officer, medical screening, property inventory, housing unit, or court date. Those details may exist in internal records or separate reports, but the sheriff's open-records page states that Georgia open-records law does not require an agency to create reports, summaries, or compilations that do not already exist.
Bond is a frequent source of confusion in Bacon County inmate records. The sheriff's bonding page says a person arrested on Magistrate, State, or Superior Court charges without bond set at arrest must appear before a judge. If a Magistrate Judge cannot set bond, a bond hearing will be scheduled. Cash bonds require money orders or certified checks, plus a separate $20 bond fee. Signature property bonds require qualifying real property, a deed, all owners' signatures when needed, and sheriff approval. Professional surety bonds use bonding companies listed by the sheriff.
Bacon County Jail Visits
The official Bacon County jail visitation source located points video visitation to HomeWAV. A local in-person visitation schedule, visitor ID rule, dress code, visit length, child-visitor rule, and holiday schedule were not found in the sheriff sources reviewed. That absence should not be filled with rules from another county. Confirm current visitor access with the jail line before travel or before creating a video account.
| Channel | Official detail located | Action |
|---|---|---|
| Video visitation | Sheriff video visitation page links to HomeWAV signup/login. | Create or use a HomeWAV account. |
| In-person visitation | No schedule located in official sheriff sources. | Call (912) 632-5166 before arrival. |
| Visitor ID / dress code | No Bacon County public rule located. | Confirm with jail staff. |
| Attorney or professional visits | No public local schedule located. | Contact the jail or sheriff office directly. |
HomeWAV is the video-visitation account route linked from the Bacon County sheriff visitation page. It should not be treated as a public inmate roster, bond-payment screen, or mail vendor page.
Bacon County Inmate Mail
Bacon County Jail mail uses the sheriff's inmate mail format: inmate first and last name, Bacon County Jail, PO Box 237, Alma, GA 31510. Sender name and return address must be included. The sheriff communication rules say missing return information will most likely cause the mail not to be delivered and the letter to be destroyed. Approved mail is scanned into the inmate kiosk system, and communication platforms are monitored for inappropriate activity.
Prohibited mail includes care packages, nude or partially nude material, books, newspapers, magazines, obscene material, chemically altered letters or cards, and other items deemed inappropriate. Commissary funds can be added by lobby kiosk, online through the Stewart Commissary link at commissarydeposit.com, money order, or phone deposit. Published sheriff sources did not provide deposit fees, transaction limits, or phone-rate tables. Note: Confirm custody status before sending funds because a release or transfer can change the proper deposit route.
