Brooks County Jail Roster
The Brooks County Sheriff's Office provides a public roster at Current Inmates. The same roster system has separate views for current inmates, 24-hour arrests, and inmates by arrest date. The roster is a county jail custody tool. It is useful for checking whether a person is currently booked, recently arrested, or listed with charge rows, but it is not the full court case record and does not replace the Clerk of Superior Court for case filings or dispositions.
The Brooks County Sheriff's Office site identifies Sheriff Mike Dewey and links to agency resources. The county sheriff page lists the Sheriff's Office at the courthouse complex, the CID building, and the Brooks County Jail on Holloway Drive. The sheriff contact page also gives emergency, dispatch, office, investigations, and jail phone paths.
The sheriff homepage is the local agency starting point, while the Interop roster is the direct lookup tool for current custody and recent jail bookings.
Search Brooks County Inmates
The roster search is simple, but the result needs careful reading. A blank search can browse the current inmate list. A name search can narrow results, but spelling differences, middle names, and recent bookings may affect whether a person appears. The 24-hour arrests view is useful for new arrests that may not be easy to find by name yet.
- Open the Brooks County current inmate roster and start with the Current Inmates tab.
- Enter a last name, first name, or both if the spelling is known.
- Leave the name fields blank to browse the roster page by page when spelling is uncertain.
- Use the 24 Hours Arrests tab for very recent jail intake checks.
- Use Inmates by Arrest Date when the arrest date is known but the current page order is not helpful.
- Review charges, court, bond, and arresting agency, then confirm court outcomes with the clerk if needed.
The 24-hour arrests roster uses the same jail system but filters toward recent arrests. It is especially useful when family, counsel, or a court user needs to check fresh custody status before the next court contact.
Recent-arrest listings can change quickly. Confirm urgent custody, bond, and release questions with the jail phone line before travel.
Brooks County Inmate Fields
The roster search form is more limited than many court databases. It accepts optional name filters and also allows browsing through pages of results. The captured roster example showed pagination, including a page count and numbered links, which means browsing may be needed if the name is misspelled or the person uses a middle name or alias not entered in the same form.
| Field Label | Type | Required | Options / Format Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Current Inmates | Tab/link | No | Default roster view for current custody. |
| 24 Hours Arrests | Tab/link | No | Filters to recent arrests. |
| Inmates by Arrest Date | Tab/link | No | Sorts or filters by arrest date. |
| Filter By Inmate Name (Optional) | Instruction | No | Search can be left blank to browse. |
| Last Name | Text | No | Placeholder text is "last name." |
| First Name | Text | No | Placeholder text is "first name." |
| Search Inmates | Button | No | Submits the name filter. |
| Pagination | Page links | No | Captured sample showed page links, Prev, and Next. |
The Inmates by Arrest Date roster can help when a user knows the arrest date but does not know the exact name format used by the jail system.
The arrest-date view is still a county jail roster, so it should be paired with the court file for pleas, dismissals, sentencing, and final disposition.
Brooks County Inmate Profiles
A Brooks County inmate profile can show detailed booking and charge data, but it does not show every jail or court fact. The research inspection found public fields for name, status, sex, size fields, arrest date, arresting agency, days in jail, bond, warrant number, statutes, descriptions, misdemeanor or felony marker, and court. It also found redactions and missing categories.
| Field | What It Shows |
|---|---|
| Image / mugshot placeholder | Captured entries used an image placeholder, not always a public mugshot. |
| Name | Last, first, and middle name format. |
| Status | Examples include "CURRENTLY BOOKED." |
| Sex, height, weight | Basic demographic and size fields. |
| Address | Displayed as REDACTED in captured roster text. |
| Arrest Date | Date plus arresting agency, such as Brooks County SO or Quitman PD. |
| Days in Jail | Number of days shown by the roster system. |
| Total Bond | Dollar amount, NOT SET, or DENIED. |
| Charge table | Warrant#, counts, statute, description, M/F, and court. |
| Not shown | No DOB, pod, medical flags, attorney, magistrate name, or public court date in captured text. |
Charge rows may include courts such as Superior Court or State Court. They may also include statute examples for burglary, probation violation, drug offenses, DUI, stop-sign violations, or bench warrants. Those rows are booking information. Formal charge amendments, plea entries, dismissals, and sentences belong in the court record.
Brooks County Jail Contacts
Brooks County Jail, also described as the Brooks County Detention Facility, is the local detention facility operated by the sheriff. The sheriff staff page says the facility operates 24 hours a day with 18 full-time officers, has a daily average inmate population of 64, and can house a maximum of 112 prisoners. The same source places jail operations under the Sheriff's Office divisions.

Investigations contact from sheriff sources.
The sheriff contact page is the best source for jail and agency phone paths, including emergency, non-emergency dispatch, office, CID, and jail numbers.
The contact page is especially important because visitation, release, bond, and records questions may route to different sheriff or jail phone lines.
Brooks County Jail Operations
The sheriff staff and divisions page gives jail operating context that the roster does not show. It lists command staff and says the CID investigates crimes reported to the sheriff, works with local, state, and federal agencies, and maintains the Brooks County Sex Offender Registry. It also says Patrol handles law enforcement, warrant and criminal apprehension, traffic enforcement, court security, and inmate transports.
Those division facts explain why a jail roster search often points to other units. A bond or booking question may stay with the jail, a warrant apprehension issue may involve patrol, and a sex offender registry issue may involve CID or the GBI registry.
The county budget also identifies Sheriff's Office divisions that include Administration, Criminal Investigations, Uniform Patrol, Jail, Narcotics Control, Court Services, and Animal Services. Court Services performs courtroom security and serves legal documents, while jail budget lines include prisoner food, uniforms, supplies, and out-of-county housing.
Brooks County Jail Visits
Official Brooks County sources located during research did not publish a detailed jail visitation schedule, video visit provider, dress code, visitor approval form, attorney-visit schedule, holiday schedule, or lockdown policy. That gap should be handled by phone, not filled with guesses. Call Brooks County Jail before making a visit plan, especially for day-of cancellations or eligibility questions.
| Visit Topic | Published Brooks County Detail | Best Confirmation Path |
|---|---|---|
| Public visitation hours | No schedule located | Call jail at 229-263-8153. |
| Video visit provider | No vendor located | Call jail before creating any account. |
| Attorney visits | No schedule located | Call jail or sheriff office. |
| Visitor approval | No form located | Ask jail about ID and approval rules. |
| Mail rules | No format rules located | Call jail before mailing items. |
| Holiday or lockdown changes | No public schedule located | Call day of visit. |
Note: Do not assume a national jail phone, money, or visit vendor applies to Brooks County unless the jail confirms it.
Brooks County Commissary Gaps
Research found official evidence that an inmate commissary account exists, but not a public vendor or deposit procedure. County minutes from March 4, 2024 referenced Sheriff Dewey's requested use of Inmate Commissary Account funds for patrol cameras, a jail van, computers, and accident repairs. The county attorney advised the sheriff had authority to use those funds. That confirms a local commissary account context, but it does not identify how families deposit money.
Because no official Brooks County source published a money-deposit vendor, no page should name Securus, GTL, JPay, HomeWAV, Access Corrections, or another provider. The jail phone is the proper source for approved deposit methods, mail limits, phone accounts, commissary ordering, and refund rules. For a person transferred from the county jail to state prison, the Georgia Department of Corrections rules replace local jail rules.
Brooks County Inmate Limits
Brooks County inmate records cover local jail custody. They do not cover every person with a Brooks County connection. Georgia.gov says county jail inmates should be checked through county websites, while the Georgia Department of Corrections handles people in GDC facilities. If a person was sentenced to state custody or moved after sentencing, search the GDC offender query rather than the Brooks County roster.
The GDC Brooks County Jail location entry identifies the jail as a county facility. The statewide offender query is a different tool for sentenced state prisoners and offender status. Sex offender information is also separate. The sheriff links to state and federal registry resources, and the GBI maintains Georgia's central registry under O.C.G.A. Section 42-1-12.
The current roster is the county custody source. Court results, state prison placement, and registry status need separate official systems.
Brooks County Jail Records
Jail roster data is public-facing custody information, but missing details may require a sheriff or county records path. The sheriff contact page and jail phone are the first local choices for booking questions. Brooks County also has an open-records path through County Clerk Patricia Williams for county records and multi-department requests. Georgia's public-records framework includes a three-business-day response rule when records cannot be provided immediately.
Some information will stay restricted or redacted. The roster itself redacts inmate addresses. Juvenile matters, medical information, personal identifiers, active investigative material, and sealed or restricted criminal-history data should not be expected in a public roster. For charges, pleas, dispositions, and sentencing, use the court case file instead of treating the roster as the final record. For formal charge context after booking, the Brooks County arrest records and court charges page separates booking rows from court-file charges.
