Find a Bartow County Inmate and Check Current Jail Information
If someone was arrested in Bartow County, start with the Bartow County Sheriff’s Office Inmate Inquiry. The live search lets you look by name, subject number, booking number, current-custody status, booking-date range and housing facility.
Fastest route: search the person’s last name first, open the correct record, save the booking or subject number, and then use the jail, bond, visitation or court information below for the next step.
Information reviewed October 28, 2026. Custody, bond eligibility, housing, visitation availability and release status can change quickly; use the live county system for the final status check.

How to Search the Bartow County Jail Roster
- Open the official inmate inquiry. Use the Sheriff’s live Bartow County Inmate Inquiry rather than a paid people-search site.
- Start with the name field. If you are unsure about a middle name or spelling, enter only the last name first.
- Use an identifier when available. The search also accepts a subject number or booking number, which is useful when several people have similar names.
- Filter for current custody. Use the In Custody option when the main question is whether the person is still being held.
- Use booking dates for a specific arrest. The portal includes Booking From Date and Booking To Date fields.
- Open the matching record carefully. Compare identifying and booking information before assuming two people with the same or similar name are the same person.
- Save the useful identifiers. Keep the subject number, booking number and other displayed references. They can make later jail or court questions easier.
What to Check After You Find the Inmate
Treat the jail record as a current custody record, not as the final criminal case. Open the individual record and review every available entry instead of relying only on the name shown in the result list.
| Information | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Booking or subject number | Useful when contacting the jail or distinguishing people with similar names. |
| Current custody status | Helps confirm whether the person is still held rather than already released or transferred. |
| Booking date | Helps connect the jail stay to the correct arrest. |
| Housing information | May help with visitation or jail-service questions when displayed. |
| Charge information | Shows allegations associated with the booking. A listed charge is not a conviction. |
| Bond information | Use as a starting point only; confirm eligibility before paying because another charge or hold can affect release. |
If You Cannot Find the Person
Use this order before concluding that the person is not in custody:
- Search the surname only and check alternate spellings.
- Remove unnecessary date filters.
- Check both current-custody and broader search options.
- Allow time if the arrest occurred very recently.
- Confirm that the arrest happened in Bartow County rather than a neighboring Georgia county.
- Consider whether the person was released quickly after booking.
- If the person has been sentenced or transferred to state custody, use the Georgia Department of Corrections offender search.

How to Set Up a Video Visit
- Confirm that the inmate is still in Bartow County custody.
- Create or sign in to an ICSolutions visitation account.
- Select the Bartow County facility and locate the correct inmate.
- Add every person who will participate in the visit when scheduling.
- Choose an available session that does not conflict with the inmate’s court, medical, attorney, program or work schedule.
- Complete the booking before the visit and follow the current identification and conduct rules.
Visitors must show identification; the Sheriff states that paper IDs are not accepted. A 16-year-old visitor must be accompanied by an adult over 21, while visitors age 17 and older may visit alone under the published rules. Contact visits are not allowed. Visitors arriving more than 10 minutes late can lose the scheduled session.
Food, drinks, phones, cameras, purses, packages, weapons and tobacco products are prohibited in the visitation booths. Appropriate clothing is required, and jail operations such as medical appointments, court or attorney visits take priority over ordinary visitation.
Sending Money and Using Commissary
The Bartow County Sheriff’s Jail Division links directly to JailATM for inmate-account services and publishes a dedicated commissary contact number.
- Search the live roster and confirm that the inmate is still housed in Bartow County.
- Copy the inmate’s exact legal name and available booking or subject number.
- Open JailATM from the Sheriff’s Jail Division page or the link below.
- Select the correct Bartow County facility and inmate.
- Review the displayed transaction amount, service fee and payment details before submitting money.
- Save the confirmation or receipt.
If the account cannot be located or a deposit does not appear as expected, contact the jail’s commissary line at 770-382-5050 ext. 3042. Do not send money using an account or payment method supplied by an unknown caller.
Bonding an Inmate Out of Bartow County Jail
Before paying anything, find the inmate in the current roster and then call 770-382-5050 ext. 6039 if there is any uncertainty about the bond amount or release eligibility. One person can have multiple charges or a separate hold that affects release.
| Bond method | Current Bartow County instructions |
|---|---|
| Cash bond | The full eligible bond plus a separate $20 non-refundable state bond fee is paid in cash. The Sheriff says the $20 fee requires exact change. |
| Professional bondsman | Use a bonding company currently registered and authorized by the Bartow County Sheriff’s Office. The Sheriff’s page states professional companies may charge up to 15% of the bond, subject to the published rules. |
| Bartow County property bond | Qualifying residential property must be in Bartow County. Property ownership, assessed value, deed parties and other eligibility conditions apply. |
| Out-of-county Georgia property bond | The Sheriff’s Office in the county where the property is located must prepare the paperwork. Bartow County requires the prepared documents to arrive in a sealed envelope. |
Property Bond Requirements Published by the Sheriff
- The property must have been owned for at least five years.
- The 40% assessed value must exceed the proposed bond amount.
- Everyone named on the deed must appear with government-issued photo identification.
- If a deed holder is deceased, a certified death certificate is required.
- The property cannot already be pledged on another bond.
- A person signing as surety cannot currently be out on bond or on probation.
- A separate $20 non-refundable cash bond fee applies under the published instructions.
The Sheriff’s page currently lists 24 Bail Bonding Inc., Bond James Bond Inc. and Bartow Bonding Co. Inc. as authorized professional bonding companies. Because authorization can change, verify the current list on the official bonding page immediately before using a company.
Posting an eligible bond does not mean the inmate will walk out immediately. Release processing can include paperwork, identity checks, property return, verification of other warrants or holds and completion of jail discharge procedures.
Mail and Inmate Phone Questions
The Sheriff’s current public pages clearly identify the jail at 104 Zena Drive, Cartersville, GA 30121, but they do not publish the same level of current detail for ordinary personal-mail routing or inmate telephone rates as they do for visitation and bonding.
Therefore, do not rely on an old third-party mailing address or phone-provider listing without confirmation. Before sending a letter, publication, money order or other item, call 770-382-5050 and ask for the current inmate-mail rules for the specific type of item.
How to Check the Court Case After a Bartow County Jail Booking
The jail roster answers the custody question. Court records answer what happened after the arrest, including later filings, hearings and case disposition.
- Find the correct jail record first and save the full name, booking date, charge wording and any available case information.
- Use the Georgia Courts E-Access directory and select Bartow Superior when the case belongs in Superior Court.
- The state directory redirects Bartow Superior searches to its court-record provider; an account may be required.
- If you need an official or certified record, contact the Bartow County Clerk of Superior Court rather than relying on a jail screenshot.
- Compare the court record with the booking carefully because charges may be amended, dismissed, indicted differently or otherwise change after arrest.

Older Jail, Incident or Sheriff’s Records
The live inmate search is best for current or recent custody. If you need an incident report or another Sheriff’s record that is not available through the roster, Bartow County provides an Open Records process.
- Identify the type of record you need: jail information, incident report, booking-related record or another Sheriff’s record.
- Collect the person’s full name, incident or booking date and any known report or case number.
- Use the Sheriff’s online Open Records request process when the information is not available through the live roster.
- For a court disposition or certified criminal case document, use the Clerk of Superior Court instead.

Bartow County Jail Inmate Search FAQs
1. How do I search for an inmate in Bartow County Jail?

The Bartow County Sheriff’s Office links to the Bartow County Inmate Inquiry hosted at jailroster.bc-cville.org. Starting from the Sheriff’s official website is useful if the direct roster address changes later.
3. Why can I not find someone who was just arrested?
The person may still be completing intake and booking, the name may be recorded differently, the person may have been released quickly, or another county may have custody. Try the surname only, remove date filters and check again after booking has had time to process.

9. How do I find a Bartow County inmate who was transferred to state prison?
