Find a Gwinnett County Jail Inmate and Check Current Booking Details
If someone was recently arrested in Gwinnett County, the fastest starting point is the Gwinnett County Sheriff’s official Jail View. The public system can help you confirm current custody, identify the correct booking and review available charge and bond information without using an unofficial people-search service.
Lawrenceville, GA 30043
How to Search the Gwinnett County Jail Roster
- Open the Sheriff’s Jail View. Use the official search button above.
- Enter at least one search criterion. The system provides last name, first name, middle name, booking-date and release-date fields.
- Start broad if the exact name fails. Try the last name alone, then add the first name to narrow the results.
- Open the likely booking. Compare the person’s name, booking number, age, booking date and other identifying details.
- Check every listed charge. One booking can contain several charges, separate bond amounts, warrants or holds.
- Verify anything time-sensitive. Custody, bond and release information can change after court action or jail processing.
What You Can Find in a Gwinnett County Inmate Record
| Information | How to use it |
|---|---|
| Custody status | Helps determine whether the record currently shows the person in jail. |
| Booking number | Identifies the specific jail admission and is useful when speaking with jail staff. |
| MNI number | An identifying number used within the Sheriff’s jail-management records. |
| Booking date | Helps confirm that you are looking at the arrest or admission you intended to find. |
| Age on booking date | Useful for separating people who have similar names. |
| Charges | Shows allegations associated with the booking; a listed charge is not proof of guilt. |
| Court / case information | Can help you locate the related case in the Gwinnett court system. |
| Bond information | May show amounts and bond types, but another charge or hold can still affect release. |
| Warrant or citation details | May appear when a charge is connected with a warrant or citation. |
| Arresting agency | Can identify which law-enforcement agency was responsible for the arrest or charge. |
If the Inmate Does Not Appear
- Check the spelling and try the person’s legal surname.
- Remove unnecessary search fields and search the last name alone.
- Allow time for a new arrest to finish intake and booking.
- Consider whether the person has already bonded out or been released.
- Confirm that the arrest actually resulted in booking at Gwinnett County Jail.
- Check whether the person was transferred to another local, state or federal facility.
A person sentenced and transferred into Georgia state prison custody may no longer be appropriately searched through the county jail roster.

Phone, Video & Mail RulesHow to Put Money on an Inmate Account
Money taken into the jail with an inmate is placed into an inmate account. Family and friends can also make deposits using approved methods.
| Deposit method | What to do |
|---|---|
| Online | Use JailATM. Debit and credit cards may be used. The vendor charges a service fee. |
| Jail lobby kiosk | The Smart Deposit Kiosk accepts cash, debit cards and credit cards. Vendor fees may apply. |
| Money order | The Sheriff accepts U.S. Postal Service and Western Union money orders by mail. Write the inmate’s name and ID number on the money order and mark the envelope “For Deposit Only.” |
Before depositing money: find the inmate in Jail View and verify the exact name and inmate ID. This reduces the risk of sending funds to the wrong person.
Current Gwinnett County Jail Mail Address
Most personal correspondence is not mailed directly to the jail. The Sheriff routes general correspondence through a central JailATM processing facility, where postcards are scanned and made available electronically to the inmate.
Inmate Name / Inmate Identification #
925B Peachtree St. NE, Box 2062
Atlanta, GA 30309
Current rules require personal correspondence to be sent as a postcard. The Sheriff lists a minimum postcard size of 3.5 × 4.25 inches and a maximum of 4.25 × 6 inches. Use black or blue ink or pencil and include the sender’s complete name and return address.
Inmate Name / Inmate ID #

Items involving stickers, plastic wrapping, paint, markers, biological substances, perfume, lipstick, weapons, gang references, explicit material, codes or other prohibited content may be rejected.
Jail Roster vs. Gwinnett Court Records
The jail roster answers a custody question. It is not the complete criminal case record. Use the court system when you need later case filings, hearings, court activity or disposition information.
- Find the correct jail booking first.
- Copy the available case number, court or identifying information.
- Open the official Gwinnett Courts Case Search.
- For Superior, State, Magistrate and Probate Estate cases, follow the current court-portal option.
- Recorder’s Court cases use the Recorder’s Court search option.
- Compare the court case with the booking before relying on the information.
An arrest, jail booking or criminal charge does not establish guilt. Charges can later be dismissed, amended or resolved differently by a court.
