The full researched guide applies only to the Sheriff adult jail at 652 Barrow Park Drive. The courthouse shares the street address but is not the housing facility. Sheriff administration, Winder Police, DCS and DJJ community offices are not substitute jail destinations. GDC still displays 30 North Broad Street for the jail; that conflict is labeled and is not used for travel.

Different custody systems.
Different places to start.

A Barrow County arrest usually means the county jail. A state sentence, a federal case or an immigration hold means a different system with its own locator and rules.

Who holds someone arrested in Barrow County?

Usually Barrow County Detention Center, (770) 307-3080. The arresting agency books the person and the jail holds them; ask the jail what holds are on the booking before you act on anything.

Does posting bond mean the person comes home?

Not always. A probation or parole hold, another county\'s warrant, or an immigration detainer can keep someone in custody after bond is posted. Ask the jail what holds are on the booking, and ask the bondsman what happens if there are, before you pay.

What should I confirm before visiting?

Confirm the person\'s current facility, the visiting schedule, approval requirements, accepted identification and arrival instructions. Check the facility guide before you travel.

What if I find something that needs correcting?

Send us the page and the detail that needs attention. Do not send private booking documents or other sensitive personal information.
