Find a Marietta Jail Inmate and Check Current Booking Information
If someone was arrested in Marietta, Georgia, the main jail lookup to check is the Cobb County Adult Detention Center. The City of Marietta directs jail-related users to the Cobb County facility rather than publishing a separate public “Marietta City Jail” inmate roster.
Cobb County Adult Detention Center
1825 County Services Parkway
Marietta, GA 30008
Main / bonding information: 770-499-4200
Jail Administration: 770-499-4221, Monday-Friday, 8:00 a.m.-5:00 p.m.
How to Search for a Marietta Jail Inmate
You do not need to start with a paid people-search service. For a recent Marietta or Cobb County arrest, begin with the agency responsible for the detention record.
- Open the Cobb County Sheriff inmate search. Use the official search linked by the Sheriff’s Adult Detention Center page. If that direct page fails, return to the Adult Detention Center page and select “Inmate Search.”
- Search the person’s legal name. Use the name likely entered during booking rather than a nickname. If the system offers additional identifiers, use them to narrow common-name matches.
- Compare the possible matches carefully. Do not identify someone from a name alone. Compare booking information, dates and other available identifiers before choosing a record.
- Review current custody, charges and bond. The Cobb County Sheriff states that its custodial search is used to obtain criminal charges and bond amounts for people in custody.
- Save the inmate or booking identifier. Keep the SOID or other identifier shown in the record. Cobb County requires an SOID for several services, including inmate mail.
- Recheck anything time-sensitive. Bond, release, court holds and custody status can change after a hearing or administrative processing. Verify the live status before paying money or traveling to the facility.
What a Marietta Booking Lookup Can Help You Confirm
| Information | How to use it |
|---|---|
| Current custody | Helps confirm whether the person is presently being held in the Cobb County detention system. |
| Booking or inmate identifier | Useful for distinguishing similar names and for mail, deposits or calls to jail staff. |
| Listed charges | Shows allegations connected with the current custody record. A charge is not a conviction. |
| Bond amount | Helps determine whether release may be possible and which bond process to review. |
| Custody changes | A release, transfer or court action may change what appears in the jail system. |
A jail booking record is not the same as the final criminal court record. Use the jail record for custody and booking questions. Use the appropriate court system when you need hearings, filed cases, orders or case disposition.
If the Person Does Not Appear in the Marietta Jail Search
A missing result does not automatically mean the person was never arrested or has been released. Work through these checks in order:
- Try the surname with fewer search fields.
- Check the exact legal spelling, middle name, suffix and hyphenated surname.
- Allow time for a very recent arrest to complete intake and booking.
- Confirm the arrest actually occurred in Marietta or Cobb County.
- Check whether the person was released before you searched.
- Check whether another city or county jail has custody.
- If the person has already entered Georgia state prison custody, use the Georgia Department of Corrections instead.
- Call Cobb County at 770-499-4200 when the online inmate system is unavailable or the status is urgent.
Marietta is in Cobb County, but an arrest location alone does not guarantee where a person will remain housed. Transfers, warrants from another jurisdiction, court orders and other holds can change custody.
Bond and Release Information for Cobb County Jail
The Cobb County Sheriff publishes several ways an eligible inmate may obtain release. First check the inmate record or call the jail to confirm that a bond has actually been set and that the person is eligible to be released.
| Bond option | Important Cobb County details |
|---|---|
| Cash bond | The full bond amount is paid. The Sheriff’s facility does not accept checks or credit cards for an in-person cash bond. Cobb also provides an online cash-bond option for eligible offenses, with an online maximum of $2,500 including applicable fees and surcharges. |
| Professional bonding company | The company must be registered and authorized by the Cobb County Sheriff. The Sheriff’s published guidance states that Georgia law permits a professional bonding company to charge up to 15% of the bond amount, subject to the rules described on the official page. |
| Cobb County property bond | Residential property used as security must be in Cobb County. The Sheriff lists the deed, current tax bill, current mortgage statement and government photo identification among the required documents. |
| Out-of-county Georgia property | Bond documents must first be prepared by the sheriff in the Georgia county where the property is located and then presented to Cobb County in a sealed envelope. |
| Pretrial release | Cobb County states that defendants remaining in custody are reviewed and qualifying defendants may be interviewed and recommended for supervised or conditional release. |
Marietta city charges can follow a different bond path
If the arrest involves a Marietta traffic offense or local ordinance violation, the City of Marietta says the person may be eligible to post bond through Marietta Police. Police Services lists cash-bond availability 24 hours a day, seven days a week for qualifying traffic and city ordinance cases.
Marietta Police Department
240 Lemon Street
Marietta, GA 30060
Police: 770-794-5300
Before paying anything, confirm which agency controls the bond. A Cobb County jail booking, Marietta Municipal Court case and another Cobb court case can involve different procedures.
How to Check the Court Case After Finding the Booking
The jail record answers “Is this person in custody and what is listed at booking?” The court record is the better place to answer “What happened in the case?”
Cobb County Magistrate Court
The official Cobb Magistrate Court records system allows searches for criminal cases. Its published user guide says the database is refreshed nightly, so activity entered today may not appear until the following day.
- Open the Cobb Magistrate Court Record Search.
- Accept the court disclaimer.
- Select Criminal Cases.
- Search by name/date or by case number.
- Open the matching case details and documents when available.
The official user guide also supports phonetic first- and last-name searching, which can help when the exact spelling is uncertain.
Cobb State Court
Cobb State Court provides an online record search covering traffic and misdemeanor cases filed from April 26, 1999 through the current year, along with its other published case categories. The court warns that online information may not be the final official record.
Marietta Municipal Court
For eligible Marietta traffic and local ordinance matters, use the City of Marietta Municipal Court. The court handles matters including traffic offenses, local ordinance violations and certain limited misdemeanor offenses.
Municipal Court
240 Lemon Street
Marietta, GA 30060
Phone: 770-794-5400
Clerk hours: Monday-Friday, 8:00 a.m.-5:00 p.m.
Cobb County Jail Visitation in Marietta
The Cobb County Sheriff uses video-conferencing stations for public and professional visits. Public visitors must register before scheduling a visit.
- Confirm that the inmate is still in Cobb County custody.
- Pre-register through the Sheriff-linked GTL VisitMe system or at the Visitation Center kiosk.
- Complete registration using valid government-issued photo identification.
- Schedule the visit after registration. The Sheriff states visits may be scheduled from one to seven days in advance.
- Bring the original government-issued ID for the visit; photocopies are not accepted.
The detailed rules say visits are scheduled on the hour and last 30 minutes. Arriving more than 15 minutes after the scheduled start can result in forfeiture of the visit.

Mail, Phone Calls and Money for a Cobb County Inmate
Personal mail
Do not send ordinary personal correspondence to the jail’s street address. Cobb County currently directs personal mail to a mail-processing address in Maryland:
Cobb County Sheriff’s Office, Georgia
Inmate’s Name and SOID #
PO Box 247
Phoenix, MD 21131
The Sheriff states that greeting cards and photographs are allowed subject to jail rules, but Polaroid photographs are not accepted. Material considered sexually explicit, offensive or a facility-security risk may be returned.
Legal mail and books
Cobb County Adult Detention Center
Inmate’s Full Name and SOID #
PO Box 100110
Marietta, GA 30061
Books, magazines and periodicals must be ordered directly from a publisher or online distributor. Hardbound books are not accepted under the Sheriff’s published rules.
Phone calls
Inmates cannot receive incoming telephone calls. Eligible inmates may make outgoing calls at approved times. Cobb County currently identifies Global Tel Link/ConnectNetwork as its telephone-service provider.
For account or billing issues, the Sheriff lists GTL AdvancePay at 800-483-8314. Because vendor pricing and account rules can change, confirm the current cost directly before adding funds.
Depositing money
Cobb County publishes several deposit methods:
- US Postal Money Order by mail.
- Cash payment at the facility during published deposit hours.
- Telephone deposit at 888-988-4768; the Sheriff lists agency Site ID 153.
- Online deposit through ConnectNetwork.
- On-site kiosk for cash or card deposits.
Confirm the inmate’s exact name and SOID before sending money.
How to Get Older Booking Photos, Arrest Reports or Jail Records
A live inmate lookup is mainly useful for current custody. If you need an older booking, incident report, booking photo or another Sheriff record, use the Cobb County Sheriff’s Open Records process.
- Identify the record you need.
- Collect the person’s full name, approximate arrest date, case/report number and other identifying details if available.
- Open the Sheriff’s Open Record Requests page.
- Follow the link to the county’s GOVQA request portal.
- Describe the record narrowly enough that staff can identify it.
- Review any fee or response information sent by the agency before requesting large quantities of material.
The Cobb County Sheriff’s Communications Department specifically directs requests for booking photos and incident reports to the open-records portal.
Marietta Police reports
If the record belongs specifically to the Marietta Police Department rather than the Cobb County Sheriff, Marietta Police accepts requests through its Records function. The department currently lists accident and incident reports and criminal-history services, with questions handled at 770-794-5300 during published weekday records hours.
If the Inmate Was Transferred to Georgia State Prison
The Cobb County jail search and Georgia Department of Corrections search are different systems. Someone who was booked in Marietta but later transferred into state correctional custody may no longer be best located through the county jail system.
Use the Georgia Department of Corrections Offender Info service when a state-prison transfer is likely. GDC’s Find an Offender service can search using name, description, ID or case-number information.
Do not use the state-prison database as the first search for someone who was arrested locally only a few hours ago. Recent local arrests normally belong in the local jail search first.

Marietta Jail Inmate Search FAQs
1. How do I search for an inmate arrested in Marietta, Georgia?

3. Why is the Cobb County inmate search not working?
The Cobb County Sheriff announced a temporary interruption of its online Detainee Search in September 2025. The official detention page still links the search, but the linked endpoint returned an error when checked on November 4, 2026. Call 770-499-4200 when the online system is unavailable.

6. Can I find an inmate’s bond amount online?
The Cobb County Sheriff says its inmate search provides criminal charges and bond amounts for people in custody. Because bond status can change after court action, verify the amount before paying a bond.
7. How do I check a Marietta inmate’s court case?
After identifying the booking, use the court that has jurisdiction over the charge. Cobb Magistrate Court has a criminal case search, Cobb State Court provides a public record search, and qualifying city traffic or ordinance matters may be handled by Marietta Municipal Court.
8. Where do I send personal mail to a Cobb County inmate?
Personal mail is currently directed to Cobb County Sheriff’s Office, Georgia, the inmate’s name and SOID number, PO Box 247, Phoenix, MD 21131. Legal mail and books use a different Marietta mailing address, so do not mix the two.
9. How do I find someone who was transferred from Cobb County jail to state prison?
Use the Georgia Department of Corrections Find an Offender service. County-jail and state-prison records are separate, so a person who has entered state custody may need to be searched in the GDC system.
10. Does a Marietta jail booking mean the person was convicted?
No. A booking or listed criminal charge does not establish guilt or conviction. Charges can be amended, dismissed or resolved differently. Use the appropriate court record when you need the final case outcome.
