Tattnall County Jail Overview
Tattnall County Jail is operated by the Tattnall County Sheriff's Office in Reidsville. The county page was located in official references during research, but direct access failed during inspection, so the strongest current jail facts come from the Interop public roster, Georgia Sheriffs' Association directory material, and Georgia jail reporting sources. The jail is the county-level booking and holding facility, not a Georgia Department of Corrections prison. It receives local arrests made by the sheriff's office, Reidsville police, Glennville police or municipal court sources, probation offices, and other agencies shown on the public roster.
The facility population is mixed. A Tattnall County Jail inmate may be awaiting first appearance, waiting for bond review, serving a county sentence, held for probation or court action, or held for another agency. The roster also showed Georgia Department of Corrections CID and outside-county agency entries, which means a simple name search can return people whose custody reason is more complex than one new local arrest. For a person already sentenced to state prison, the correct search tool is the GDC offender locator, not this county jail roster.
Tattnall County Jail Population
The best sourced capacity figure for Tattnall County Jail is the Georgia Department of Community Affairs August 2021 monthly jail report. That report listed 136 beds, 94 inmates, and 69 percent of capacity. It also broke the jail population into 2 state-sentenced inmates, 42 awaiting trial, 4 serving a county sentence, and 46 in the "other" category. Those numbers describe a historical monthly report, not a current average daily population.
The Tattnall Current Inmates roster showed 104 public items during the June 4, 2026 research inspection. That roster count is useful for a same-day public inmate lookup, but it should not be treated as an official jail census or average daily population. The current Georgia Sheriffs' Association jail report page listed Tattnall in May 2026, but the visible county row did not publish a numeric Tattnall population value.
| Measure | Figure | Source |
|---|---|---|
| Rated jail capacity | 136 beds | DCA monthly jail report, August 2021 |
| Reported jail inmates | 94 | DCA monthly jail report, August 2021 |
| Current roster snapshot | 104 items | Interop Current Inmates, inspected June 4, 2026 |
| Current official ADP | Not located | Georgia Sheriffs' Association jail report row lacked a visible Tattnall figure |
Tattnall County Jail Inmate Lookup
The Tattnall County Jail roster is hosted through Synergistic Software's Interop system. The public roster has separate paths for current inmates, 24-hour arrests, and inmates by arrest date. Use the county roster for pretrial detainees, new jail bookings, people recently released from booking, and local holds. Do not use it for Smith State Prison or Rogers State Prison inmates after state-prison transfer.
- Open the Current Inmates tab when the person may still be in Tattnall County Jail custody.
- Search by last name first. The roster name filter is optional, so broad searches can help when the spelling is uncertain.
- Check the 24 Hours Arrests tab if the person was booked today or yesterday.
- Use the Inmates by Arrest Date tab when the approximate arrest date is known.
- Call the jail if no result appears, because intake, release, transfer, or an outside-agency hold can affect public roster display.
The roster card fields observed in research include name, status, sex, height, weight, public address field, arrest date and agency, days in jail, and bond. A booking-photo image slot exists, but many visible entries used an image-not-available placeholder. Charges, court date, housing unit, and booking number were not confirmed in the captured public card output, so those details should be verified with the jail or court record when needed.
Tattnall County Jail Contact
Use the jail phone line for current custody, bond, release, visitation, and mail questions. The roster is the best first check, but same-day status can change fast. Phone confirmation matters before travel, before a bond payment, and before mailing property or correspondence.

For booking records that do not appear online, a written Georgia Open Records Act request may be sent to the sheriff's office. Include the person's full name, date of birth if known, arrest or booking date, arresting agency, requested record type, delivery preference, and contact information. Georgia Attorney General guidance says an agency must respond within three business days when records cannot be produced immediately, with timing, cost, and legal authority for any withheld records.
Tattnall County Jail Visitation
No accessible official Tattnall County Jail visitation schedule, video vendor, dress code, child-visitor rule, or attorney-visit rule was located in the research file. The facility page therefore should not name a vendor or publish made-up visiting hours. Use the sheriff's office phone numbers to confirm the current schedule, visitor identification requirements, arrival rules, and any limits on property before going to the Reidsville jail.
| Topic | Current finding | Practical route |
|---|---|---|
| In-person visitation schedule | Not located in accessible official sources | Call the jail before traveling |
| Video visitation | No vendor located | Ask whether remote visits are offered |
| Visitor ID | Local written rule not found | Confirm accepted photo ID by phone |
| Attorney visits | No written local rule found | Attorney or staff should call the jail |
| Mail and property | Mailing address located, format not published | Confirm inmate-name and ID format first |
Note: Confirm custody, visitation, and public-entry rules with Tattnall County Jail before driving to Reidsville.
Tattnall County Jail Mail
The research file located the sheriff's office mailing address, but it did not locate a local inmate-mail policy, commissary vendor, phone vendor, video vendor, or deposit fee schedule. That means Tattnall County Jail mail and money information should be handled by direct confirmation with the jail. Do not assume that Georgia Department of Corrections prison deposit rules apply to county jail detainees.
| Service | Known detail | Research status |
|---|---|---|
| Mail address | P.O. Box 545, Reidsville, GA 30453 | Confirm inmate name and ID format |
| Phone service | Not located | Call jail for current provider |
| Commissary deposits | Not located | No official fee schedule found |
| Property drop-off | Not located | Call before bringing items |
Tattnall County Jail Booking
A local arrest usually moves through transport to the Tattnall County Jail, identification, property inventory, search, booking entry, fingerprinting, possible booking photo, medical and security screening, and a custody or bond status assignment. The 24-hour arrests tab is useful because it can show people who were booked and then released. The current-inmates tab is better for live custody.
Bond entries observed in the public roster include dollar amounts, NOT SET, and DENIED. A dollar amount should still be confirmed with jail staff because the person may have another hold. NOT SET can mean first appearance or magistrate review is still pending. DENIED means a routine cash payment should not be assumed to release the person. Court records after filing may differ from booking information, so formal charges should be checked through the clerk or PeachCourt path when a case opens.
- Booking
- The jail intake record created after arrest or a hold.
- Hold
- A separate legal reason that can keep a person in custody.
- Bond denied
- A public status showing ordinary payment is not enough for release.
- Released
- A roster status that custody ended, even if the court case continues.
About Tattnall County Jail
Tattnall County Jail sits in a county with a larger correctional footprint than many rural Georgia counties because Smith State Prison and Rogers State Prison are also located in Tattnall County. The difference matters. A person arrested by the sheriff's office or a local police department should be checked through the county roster and sheriff phone line. A sentenced felony inmate housed at Smith, Rogers, or another Georgia prison should be checked through GDC Find an Offender.
Georgia law also gives a records fallback. O.C.G.A. Section 42-4-7 requires sheriffs to keep jail records for persons committed to county jail, and the Georgia Open Records Act creates a request path for public agency records unless an exemption applies. The online roster is faster for current jail custody, but a written request may be needed for older booking sheets, jail register entries, or records that are not shown on the Interop cards.
