No Montgomery County Jail Roster Online
No official Montgomery County online jail roster, county inmate-search form, or public booking table was located in the official source review. That changes how Montgomery County inmate records should be searched. The correct first step is direct verification with the Montgomery County Sheriff's Office, especially for a recent arrest, release, bond question, or transport question.
The source conflict is important. The GDC Montgomery County Jail page lists a county jail contact at 208 Broad Street, Mount Vernon, with phone 912-583-2521. The county Sheriff's Office page lists 208 East Broad Street with the same phone number. The Georgia Sheriffs' Association Jail Report for May 2026 lists Montgomery as "NO JAIL" with zero capacity and zero inmates. A search should therefore verify where the person was taken, not assume a hidden roster exists.
Important: Do not rely on commercial jail-list pages for Montgomery County custody status. Verify recent arrests with the Sheriff's Office or the court.
Montgomery County Inmate Records Contact
The Sheriff's Office is the county-level contact for local arrest and custody questions. The county page identifies Sheriff Ben Maybin, Chief Deputy Ron Bivins, and a secretary/admin contact in the staff directory. For inmate records, the main published Sheriff's Office number is the safest first number because no separate jail records unit or online records portal was located.
Montgomery County Sheriff's Office
208 East Broad Street
Mount Vernon, GA 30445
912-583-2521
Monday-Friday, 8:00 a.m.-5:00 p.m.
Mailing and Fax
P.O. Box 277
Mount Vernon, GA 30445
Fax: 912-583-4701
Emergency calls go to 911.
The county staff directory also lists 912-583-2321 for the Sheriff, Chief Deputy, and Secretary/Admin entries. Use the main office number first unless a county employee directs a request to a different line.
How to Search Montgomery County Inmates
A Montgomery County inmate records search works best as a short call-and-confirm process. Have the person's full name, date of birth if known, arrest date, arresting agency, and any case or warrant number ready. If the Sheriff's Office cannot confirm local custody, ask what agency now holds the person or which court event comes next.
- Call the Sheriff's Office at 912-583-2521 for recent arrest or custody status.
- Ask if the person is held locally, released, waiting for first appearance, or transported to another agency.
- For first appearance, bond hearing, arrest warrants, or search warrants, contact Montgomery Magistrate Court.
- For felony case records, check Georgia Courts eAccess or PeachCourt and contact the Clerk of Superior Court.
- For sentenced state custody, search the Georgia Department of Corrections offender query.
- For federal or immigration custody, use BOP, ICE ODLS, and VINELink as separate fallback tools.
That order keeps a recent Montgomery County arrest from being confused with a state sentence, a federal hold, an immigration hold, or an old third-party listing.
Montgomery County Roster Search Fields
Because no official county roster was located, there are no official Montgomery County jail roster fields to render. A page that lists booking number, housing unit, bond amount, or release date as if the county publishes them would be making unsupported claims. The useful search fields are the details a caller or court clerk may need to identify the correct person and case.
| Information to have | Why it helps | Required by official source? |
|---|---|---|
| Full legal name | Basic identity match for Sheriff's Office or court staff | Recommended |
| Date of birth | Helps distinguish people with similar names | Recommended for warrant guidance |
| County | Georgia.gov warrant guidance tells users to know the county | Recommended |
| Case, citation, EF, or GDC ID | Useful for court, GDC, or records searches | Required only when a system asks for it |
| Arrest date or agency | Helps route the question to Sheriff, police, court, or another agency | Recommended |
Montgomery County Inmate Record Fields
No official public Montgomery County jail sample record was captured, so county-specific booking fields should be described as possible records held by the responsible office, not as online roster fields. State records are clearer. The GDC offender query allows searches by name, description, institution, conviction county, GDC ID number, or EF/case number, and it warns that photos display automatically when available.
| Field | What it can show |
|---|---|
| Name and description | Basic identity information used in state search results |
| Most recent institution | Facility tied to the state offender record, such as Montgomery State Prison |
| Conviction county | The Georgia county tied to the conviction, including Montgomery County when applicable |
| GDC ID or EF number | Identifier for state custody and case searches |
| Offense or charge information | State record information that should be checked against court records |
| Release or parole information | Status or date when the state system provides it, subject to verification |
| Photo | GDC offender photos may show automatically, but that is not a county jail mugshot gallery |
For booking-photo limits and request language, use the Montgomery County jail roster mugshots page because Georgia booking-photo law has its own rules.
Montgomery County Court Record Routing
Court records help when the jail record is not public online. The Montgomery Magistrate Court handles first appearances and bond hearings six days a week. It also handles arrest warrants, search warrants, and civilian warrant applications. Its phone number is 912-583-2170.
The Montgomery County Clerk of Superior Court maintains civil, criminal, and juvenile court management records. Georgia Courts eAccess lists Montgomery Superior Court and redirects to PeachCourt, where users may need an account to search court records. The Clerk's office is at 400 S. Railroad Avenue in Mount Vernon, and the phone number is 912-583-4401.
Court records after booking can differ from jail intake notes. Booking is an intake event. A filed charge, indictment, plea, dismissal, or sentence is a court event. The court records after a jail arrest page follows that path from arrest to filed case.
Montgomery County State Inmate Lookup
Use the GDC Find an Offender page for sentenced state offenders, not for every recent Montgomery County arrest. The GDC form asks the user to accept a disclaimer and provides two main search paths: name or description, and identifier search. It also lets users search active offenders, inactive offenders, or both.
The screenshot below comes from the GDC offender query disclaimer and form, the state tool used when a Montgomery County case has moved into GDC custody.
The form can help after sentencing or transfer, but it may lag behind local arrest events and should not be treated as a live county jail roster.
| User need | GDC field | Best use |
|---|---|---|
| Search by name | Last name, first name, gender, race, age range | When no ID number is known |
| Search by place | Most recent institution | Can include Montgomery State Prison and Montgomery County Jail in statewide choices |
| Search by conviction | Conviction county | Can include Montgomery County |
| Search by identifier | GDC ID Number or Case Number / EF | Best when paperwork has an exact ID |
Montgomery County Visitation Records
No official county jail visitation page, mail page, phone vendor page, commissary page, or money-deposit page was located for Montgomery County Jail or the Sheriff's Office jail contact. Do not use state prison visitation rules for a county jail question. Call the Sheriff's Office for current local rules, especially because current statewide jail reporting lists Montgomery as no jail.
Montgomery State Prison follows GDC rules. Its facility page lists visitation on Saturdays, Sundays, and state holidays from 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. GDC visitation guidance says visitors must be approved, forms go to the facility where the offender is housed, email forms are not accepted, and scheduling requests run Monday 5:00 a.m. through Wednesday 5:00 p.m.
| Facility or system | Published visitation details | How to verify |
|---|---|---|
| Montgomery County Jail / Sheriff's Office contact | No official county visitation schedule located | Call 912-583-2521 |
| Montgomery State Prison | Saturday, Sunday, state holidays, 9:00 a.m.-3:00 p.m. | Use GDC visitation instructions and facility contact |
Montgomery County Custody Fallbacks
The fallback chain matters because no Montgomery County roster was found. The BOP inmate locator searches federal inmates from 1982 to the present, but no BOP facility was located in Montgomery County. The ICE detainee locator searches current ICE custody or CBP custody lasting more than 48 hours, using an A-number and country of birth or biographical information. ODLS cannot search people under 18.
VINELink can support custody-status and criminal-case notifications where the person and agency are available. It is a notification tool, not a guarantee that someone is or is not in Montgomery County custody.
- Detainer
- A request or notice from another agency. It can affect release but is not a conviction.
- Pretrial
- A case or custody status before trial, plea, or sentence.
- Sentenced state offender
- A person committed to Georgia Department of Corrections custody after court sentencing.
- Record restriction
- Georgia's process for limiting dissemination of certain criminal-history information.
Montgomery County Records Requests
No Sheriff-specific open-records portal was found on the county site. For county Sheriff records, use the Sheriff's Office contact information and Georgia Open Records Act principles. The Attorney General's materials explain that agencies generally respond within three business days, but fees, redactions, exemptions, and later production dates may apply.
For GDC offender records, use the GDC open records page instead of the county Sheriff. GDC-only records, state prison records, and county jail records are not the same repository.
Note: Juvenile, sealed, medical, security-sensitive, restricted, and active-investigation material may be withheld even when other records are public.
