Bartow County Jail Roster Overview
The Bartow County Sheriff's Office points public users to its Jail Inmate Search page before opening the live Bartow County Detention Center Inmate Inquiry. The sheriff's gateway explains that the information is provided as a public service, that the office works to keep it accurate and current, and that discrepancies should be reported to the Sheriff's Office. Choosing "AGREE" opens the live inmate inquiry; choosing "DECLINE" returns to the sheriff home page. The live roster is hosted at jailroster.bc-cville.org through a NewWorld.InmateInquiry application identified with Tyler Technologies.
The county roster is the first place to look for people held at Bartow County Jail, also called Bartow County Detention Center in local sheriff pages. It is designed for current county jail custody and booking-history details, not for every person ever arrested in the county. The roster may show pre-trial detainees, county jail inmates, state-sentenced people temporarily housed locally or awaiting transfer, and people with holds or detainers. It does not replace the Georgia Department of Corrections Find an Offender service for state-prison custody, the Federal Bureau of Prisons Inmate Locator for federal inmates, or ICE Online Detainee Locator System for immigration detention.
The live county inmate inquiry shows the in-custody list view used for a Bartow County jail roster search: Bartow County Inmate Inquiry.
The list view matters because it shows whether the person is in custody now, what facility is listed, and whether a detail page is available through the name link. If the roster does not show a current result, the next step depends on whether the person may have been released, transferred to Georgia DOC, moved into federal custody, or held under immigration authority.
How to Use the Bartow County Inmate Roster
The official path begins on the sheriff's Jail Inmate Search page and then continues to the live inquiry. A last name or booking number is not the only way to search, but starting broad is usually better because spellings, middle names, release timing, and booking-number formats can vary. The public list observed in June 2026 showed pagination and linked names, so a search may require opening the detail record rather than relying only on the row summary.
- Open the sheriff's Jail Inmate Search page and read the disclaimer before using the county roster.
- Select "AGREE" to open the Bartow County Detention Center Inmate Inquiry in a new window.
- Search by name, subject number, booking number, custody status, booking-date range, or housing facility when those fields fit the information already known.
- Review the result list for name, subject number, in-custody status, scheduled release date, race, gender, height, weight, multiple-booking flag, and housing facility.
- Open the person's linked name to review booking history, bonds, charges, court dates, prisoner type, and release information where the public profile displays those fields.
- If the person is not listed, check the phone, records-request, GDC, BOP, ICE, and Georgia VINE channels before assuming there is no custody record.
Bartow County Roster Search Fields
The Bartow County Inmate Inquiry supports more than a simple name search. The visible fields include identifiers, date filters, and a facility selector. The official roster source does not mark one field as required in the available source material, so blank or partial searches may behave differently from a targeted search by booking number or subject number.
| Field Label | Type | Required | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Name | Text | Unspecified | Use the person's name; public result list sorts by name. |
| Subject Number | Text or number | Unspecified | Person-level numeric identifier shown in roster results. |
| Booking Number | Text | Unspecified | Booking-event identifier; sample format is 2025-00000136. |
| In Custody | Checkbox or filter | Unspecified | The live URL supports InCustody=True for current-custody results. |
| Booking From Date | Date | Unspecified | Start of a booking-date range. |
| Booking To Date | Date | Unspecified | End of a booking-date range. |
| Housing Facility | Dropdown | Unspecified | Observed option: BARTOW COUNTY SHERIFF'S OFFICE JAIL. |
The in-custody result list observed on June 4, 2026 showed "Showing 1 to 100 of 615" and page controls from page 1 through page 7. That count is a point-in-time portal display, not a permanent jail population figure. The list also included scheduled-release-date values for some people and blank scheduled-release-date fields for others.
What a Bartow County Inmate Profile Shows
An inmate detail page can include demographic data, booking history, bond tables, charge rows, court dates, and release information. The inspected sample did not show a booking photo in the text extraction, and the official roster materials do not promise that public profiles display mugshots. Georgia law generally restricts agency web posting of booking photographs, so roster users should treat the profile as a booking and custody record first.
The inspected public detail source shows the booking-profile layout used for Bartow County inmate records: Bartow County Inmate Detail.
The detail screen is useful when a result-list row does not explain why someone is held, whether bond is posted, or which court event is attached to a charge. Some public fields may be blank, especially classification or housing information in released-history entries.
| Field | What It Shows |
|---|---|
| Name, age, gender, race, height, weight | Basic identity and physical descriptors visible on the public profile. |
| Address | City, state, and ZIP were visible on the inspected sample record. |
| Booking history | Separate booking entries, including prior bookings when shown. |
| Booking number | The booking-event identifier, with sample formats such as 2025-00000136 and 2021-00005780. |
| Booking date and release date | Date and time of booking, plus release date and time when released. |
| Scheduled release date | A projected or scheduled release field that may be blank. |
| Prisoner type | Custody category; observed values include PRE-TRIAL and STATE SENTENCED. |
| Classification and housing facility | Public classification or facility fields; the list view showed BARTOW COUNTY SHERIFF'S OFFICE JAIL for in-custody records. |
| Total bond and total bail | Dollar amount fields connected to release eligibility or security. |
| Bond table | Bond number, bond type, bond amount, and bond status; one sample showed PROPERTY, $20,000.00, Posted. |
| Charges and court table | Charges, court date, court, and court room, including a sample court room of *JAIL COURTROOM. |
| Charge-detail rows | Charge description, offense date, sentence date, disposition, sentence length, crime class, arresting agency, attempt/commit, and bond. |
Finding County, State, Federal, ICE, and VINE Records
A missing result in the Bartow County roster does not always mean the person has no custody record. Bartow County Jail is a county jail at 104 Zena Drive in Cartersville, and the Georgia DOC also lists it as a county jail, not a state prison. People sentenced to state custody may appear in the GDC system after transfer. Federal custody belongs in BOP or federal court channels. Immigration detention belongs in ICE ODLS, while Georgia VINE is for custody notifications and victim-information alerts.
| Custody or Need | Where to Look | Use It When |
|---|---|---|
| Current county jail custody | Bartow County Inmate Inquiry | The person may be held at Bartow County Jail after a local arrest, while awaiting trial, serving a county sentence, or waiting on transfer. |
| Phone confirmation | 770-382-5050 | The roster is unavailable, the name is hard to match, or a recent booking may not be easy to identify online. |
| In-person/lobby route | Bartow County Sheriff's Office / Jail, 104 Zena Drive, Cartersville, GA 30121 | A public lobby visit is needed for jail business, account kiosk use, bonding, or records direction. |
| Sheriff records request | records@bartow.org, fax 678-721-3221, mail, or Sheriff NextRequest | Inmate files, visitation logs or recordings, inmate phone logs or recordings, E-911 audio, CAD reports, or other sheriff records are needed. |
| Sentenced state-prison custody | Georgia Department of Corrections Find an Offender | The person has been sentenced to state custody or transferred from Bartow County Jail into a GDC facility. |
| Federal prison custody | Federal BOP Inmate Locator | The case is federal or the person may be in BOP custody from 1982 to present. |
| Immigration detention | ICE Online Detainee Locator System | The person may be in ICE custody or CBP custody over 48 hours; ODLS cannot search people under 18. |
| Custody notification | Georgia VINE / Victim Information Program, 1-800-593-9474 | Automated custody notifications are needed for victim-information purposes. |
No BOP prison, ICE detention facility, dedicated U.S. Marshals detention facility, or GDC state prison is identified as operating inside Bartow County in the available official location sources. Bartow's sheriff does publish immigration-report material and ICE detainer counts, but that reporting reflects immigration screening and detainers, not a separate ICE detention facility page or a substitute for ICE ODLS.
Bartow County Jail Contact Card
Bartow County's local detention map centers on one local facility: Bartow County Jail. The sheriff's office uses the same Zena Drive address for the jail, public contact, records routing, bonding and visitation lobby, inmate accounts, and jail mailing address. The facility is also listed by GDC as Bartow County Jail, County Jail, at the same address and phone number.
Bartow County Jail
104 Zena Drive
Cartersville, GA 30121
770-382-5050
Operator: Bartow County Sheriff's Office
Records: records@bartow.org or fax 678-721-3221
The sheriff contact source documents the Zena Drive contact point and main jail phone: Bartow County Sheriff's Office contact page.
People checking custody status should use the public roster first when possible, then call the jail when timing, spelling, release status, or transfer status is unclear. Records that are not shown on the public inquiry should be requested through the sheriff records channels rather than through the general county court-records path.
Booking and Intake at Bartow County Jail
The Bartow Jail Division says it processes more than 7,000 inmates each year. After arrest, the arresting agency transports the person to Bartow County Detention Center, where the jail creates a booking record. The public detail record can later show a booking number, booking date and time, booking origin, prisoner type, total bond and bail amounts, bond table entries, charges, court date, disposition, crime class, and court room. The public profile is a jail record, so formal prosecution details and amended court charges still need court-record review.
Money taken during booking and later deposits from family or friends are placed into an inmate cash account. That account may be used for commissary, bail, email, and phone calls under the jail's account rules. The published phone-system details also note that each inmate receives one free 60-second call upon first use of the inmate phone system. New arrivals in Booking/Bonding are not eligible for ordinary visitation; the sheriff visitation page says new inmates are moved into general population on average within 24 to 48 hours after booking.
The available official Bartow jail pages do not publish a detailed medical intake, mental-health screening, fingerprinting, property release, clothing, shower, or booking-photo procedure. Unsupported procedure details should not be inferred from other counties.
Visitation Hours and Rules

The sheriff visitation source provides the ICSolutions schedule and rule details: Bartow County inmate visitation rules.
Visitors may be restricted for disturbance, intoxication, refusal to show sufficient identification, disorderly or inappropriate conduct, cell phone use, legal violations, disrespect toward staff, failure to supervise children, or failure to follow instructions. Firearms, explosives, escape tools, alcohol, narcotics, controlled substances, and marijuana are prohibited and may lead to arrest. Cameras, tape recorders, purses, bags, briefcases, wallets, cell phones, and electronic devices are not allowed in the visitation area. Long-distance 60-minute video visits require travel from more than 150 miles, proof of home address, matching valid photo ID address, and one-week advance scheduling with Deputy Byrd.
How to Contact a Bartow County Inmate
Phone calls use the ICSolutions system, with collect or prepaid debit options. The published phone-system details list one free 60-second call on first use, a 15-minute call limit, and an alert after 14 minutes. Listed prepaid debit rates were $0.16 per minute for local and interstate calls and $0.50 per minute for international calls, with taxes and fees excluded. ICSolutions customer care is 1-888-506-8407, and mail payments can be sent to ICSolutions, Attn: Customer Service, 2200 Danbury Street, San Antonio, TX 78217.
Email uses JailATM through kiosks in each housing unit. The documented email cost is $0.50 per message, and messages can be sent COD if the sender lacks funds. Unwanted-message concerns are routed to Deputy Byrd at Ext. 6038 or 6110 through 770-382-5050. The official inmate mail page was located, but the visible fetched content did not publish a complete mail-address format, mail scanning policy, publication rules, or rejection rules, so mail instructions should be confirmed with the jail before sending anything important.
Commissary and Inmate Funds
Inmate accounts can receive money by money order, lobby kiosk, or online through JailATM. Money orders are mailed to the jail and must include the sender's full legal name and valid home address; the outside envelope should include ATTN: Money Order, the inmate name, and inmate number. The kiosk is in the Bonding/Visitation lobby and accepts cash, credit card, and debit card with a service fee. JailATM also accepts online deposits after account setup. Personal checks and payroll checks are not accepted.
The jail's account cap is $1,000. Money is not accepted when the inmate account balance is $1,000 or more. The weekly commissary money deadline is Monday at 11:00 p.m., subject to holidays and special events. JailATM support is 1-866-933-6386 or support@techfriends.com. The local account contact listed by the account source is Deputy Kim Hibberts at Ext. 3042 through 770-382-5050.
Commissary uses Legacy Commissary Services and JailATM. Inmates can order once each week, with delivery on Wednesday and orders due before early Tuesday for that week's delivery. Commissary items include underclothing, food, writing materials, and hygiene items. There is no line of credit. A negative balance or a balance under $1 blocks store orders until the account is positive. Indigent kits include hygiene items, writing materials, and postage; they can be ordered every 12 days after seven straight days with a zero balance, with later deposits repaying the negative balance. The published commissary details list a $150 order cap and no more than two web-ordered commissary packs per inmate each week.
Note: Confirm custody status with Bartow County Jail before sending money, scheduling a visit, or ordering commissary for a recently booked or transferred person.
