Lamar County Jail Roster Status
The most important Lamar County inmate records fact is the removed roster. The Lamar County Sheriff's Office still publishes a Jail Population link in its public-interest and jail navigation, but that official link points to InterOp Web. The destination now states that the website was removed per the Lamar County Sheriff's Office. Because that was the sheriff-linked roster path, the present public online roster is not working. Older search instructions that name InterOp, list roster fields, or promise real-time jail population results should be treated as stale unless the Sheriff's Office restores a public portal.
Current Lamar County jail custody should be confirmed through the jail, the Sheriff's records office, or a written open-record request. The jail is the right first stop for people arrested by the Lamar County Sheriff's Office, Barnesville Police Department, Milner or other local agencies, and other law enforcement operating in Lamar County. State-sentenced prisoners are different. Once a person is transferred to the Georgia Department of Corrections, the county jail no longer serves as the main locator.
Current access point: Lamar County does not have a verified working public inmate roster online. Call the jail or request an inmate info sheet for county custody.
Search Lamar County Jail Records
A Lamar County jail records search should follow the custody chain instead of relying on a removed vendor page. Start with basic identifiers: full legal name, date of birth if known, arrest date, arresting agency, and case number if a family member, attorney, or bond company has one. Then match the agency to the likely record. The jail can answer current custody questions. The records custodian handles written records, including inmate info sheets and incident-related material. Courts handle filed charges and dispositions after the booking record is created.
- Check the official InterOp roster URL only to confirm whether the public roster has returned. If it still shows removed, do not rely on third-party copies.
- Call Lamar County Jail at 770-358-5151 for current custody, bond status, and the next known court route.
- Call sheriff records at 770-358-5377 or use general@lamarcountysheriff.com when a written record is needed.
- Visit 121 Roberta Drive, Barnesville, GA 30204 during records hours, Monday-Friday, 8:00 a.m.-4:30 p.m., for records services.
- Submit the Sheriff's open-record form and check Inmate Info Sheet, Incident Report, CAD report, 911 Audio, or Other as the request requires.
- Use the Georgia.gov Find an Offender gateway after a state sentence and transfer to GDC.
- Use the BOP locator, ICE ODLS, and VINELink Georgia only for federal custody, immigration custody, or notification needs.
The Sheriff's Administrative Division is the source for local records procedures. Its records page says incident reports, accident reports, and other records are available during weekday records hours, and it asks requesters to allow at least three business days after a report is filed before requesting a copy. The county open-records page also names Ginger Story at gstory@lamarcountysheriff.com as a sheriff records contact.
The Lamar County Sheriff's Office Administrative Division page shows the local records channel, including the records phone number and the in-person records service window.
That records route matters because the removed roster leaves the Sheriff's open-record form as the main written path for an inmate info sheet.
Lamar County Roster Fields
The former Lamar County InterOp page cannot be inspected for live public search fields. Unofficial snippets found during research repeated possible fields such as name, status, sex, height, weight, arrest date, bond, warrant number, charge, and court, but those were not used as authority. The only verified conclusion is narrower: no current public roster fields can be confirmed because the official sheriff-linked portal is removed.
| Field Label | Type | Required | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Last name | Not available | Not available | The official Sheriff-linked InterOp page is removed, so no live county roster field can be confirmed. |
| First name | Not available | Not available | No public search form is visible through the removed roster destination. |
| Booking number | Not available | Not available | Use a case number or booking-related details on the sheriff records request if known. |
| Facility | Not available | Not available | Lamar County has one verified local detention facility, Lamar County Jail. |
The practical substitute is not another roster. It is a direct request to the agency that keeps the jail record. Lamar County Jail can confirm present custody, while the Sheriff's records office can process a request for an inmate info sheet or related report under Georgia's public-records framework.
Lamar County Inmate Info Sheet
The Sheriff's Open Records Request form identifies Inmate Info Sheet as a requestable record type. That label is useful when the roster is offline because it gives requesters a local term to use instead of asking vaguely for a jail record. The same form also lists Incident Report, 911 Audio, CAD report, and Other. A booking-related request can include more than one type if the requester needs both custody details and the incident context behind the arrest.
| Field | How It Helps the Request |
|---|---|
| Inmate Info Sheet | Requestable jail record type on the Sheriff's form; public contents are not visible online. |
| Incident Report | Useful when the arrest came from a sheriff or police incident report. |
| CAD report | Dispatch or call-for-service record that may help locate an event. |
| 911 Audio | Requestable audio category, subject to exemptions and redactions. |
| Incident case number | Best identifier when known, especially for reports and booking context. |
| Date and time | Narrows the search when no case number is available. |
| Names involved | Victim or suspect names used to locate responsive records. |
| Location | Incident or arrest location that helps separate similar names or events. |
Open-record access does not mean every jail field is released in full. Juvenile information, active investigations, personal identifiers, security details, and confidential material may be redacted or withheld under Georgia law. For Lamar County inmate records, the strongest wording is to request the inmate info sheet and ask the custodian to cite any exemption if a field or record is withheld.
Lamar County Records Contacts
The jail and sheriff records contacts serve different needs. The jail line is the fastest route for current custody and bond questions. Records staff handle copies, open-record processing, and written inmate record requests. Both are tied to the same Roberta Drive sheriff and detention complex, but a caller should be clear about whether the need is current custody, a report, or a formal copy.

Records services are listed Monday-Friday, 8:00 a.m.-4:30 p.m. The Sheriff's Office identifies Brad White as sheriff, and the county open-records page lists Ginger Story at gstory@lamarcountysheriff.com for sheriff open-record contacts. If a report copy is requested by mail, the Sheriff's records page describes a $3 cashier's check or money order route with the case number, requester name, and a self-addressed stamped envelope.
Lamar County Booking Records
Booking begins when an arresting agency brings a person to Lamar County Jail at 121 Roberta Drive. The Sheriff's Jail Operations page says the jail receives and processes people taken into custody by various law enforcement agencies in Lamar County. Jail administration covers inmate intake, housing, booking, centralized jail control, food service, medical service supervision, and jail personnel management. During admissions, staff also connect the booking process to later visitation because each inmate may designate up to three visitors for review by the Booking Officer.
A booking record is not the same thing as a final court record. It may reflect initial charges, custody status, bond eligibility, and intake facts before prosecutors or courts make later decisions. A person may post bond if the charge is bondable and proper surety is accepted, remain in jail until the courts dispose of the case, serve a county or city sentence locally, or await transfer to a state facility after a state sentence. Because the roster is offline, new arrests should be checked by phone instead of by waiting for a public online booking entry.
- Booking
- The jail intake event after arrest, when the person is logged into custody.
- Classification
- The jail process used to assign a housing and security status after intake.
- Detainer
- A hold or request from another agency, such as ICE or another jurisdiction.
- State time
- A sentence that results in transfer from the county jail to a Georgia Department of Corrections facility.
Lamar County Jail Visitation
Visitation rules are local and tied to the jail admissions process. The Sheriff's inmate communications page says family, relatives, and friends may visit on the posted schedule, but each inmate designates up to three visitors during admissions. The Booking Officer reviews and approves visitors. Visits may last up to 30 minutes, but the facility may limit time so each approved person has an equal chance to visit.
| Inmate Group | Day | Time | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Male last names A-N | Saturday | 1:30 p.m.-4:30 p.m. | Visit may last up to 30 minutes and may be limited. |
| Male last names O-Z | Sunday | 1:30 p.m.-4:30 p.m. | Visitor must be on the approved list. |
| Female inmates | Saturday | 10:00 a.m.-11:00 a.m. | Two visitors allowed each inmate during each visitation period. |
No visitor under 17 may visit unless the person is the inmate's spouse or is accompanied by an adult. Contact visits and special visits require specific approval, with written requests going to the Jail Administrator. Legal counsel, ministers, and other privileged visitors are handled with the most privacy available during normal hours, but visits can be delayed during facility programs or services.
The Sheriff's Inmate Communications page gives Lamar County Jail's visitation schedule along with mail and telephone rules.
The same communications rules should be checked before a visit because approved visitor status, age limits, and scheduling affect access more than the roster does.
Lamar County Inmate Support
Lamar County uses a scanned non-legal mail process. Non-legal mail goes to Lamar County Detention Center, Inmate Name, Inmate ID number, Facility 5262, PO Box 18247, Greensboro, NC 27419. Legal mail goes directly to Lamar County Detention Center, inmate full name and inmate ID number, 121 Roberta Drive, Barnesville, GA 30204, and should be marked Legal Mail. Approved non-legal mail is scanned within 24 hours of receipt, physical mail is destroyed, and the approved scan can be accessed on inmate tablets.
Phone service is through Pay Tel Communications. Accounts can be set up at paytel.com or through 1-800-PAY-TELL, and Pay Tel lists 1-800-729-8355 for trouble accepting collect calls. Housing telephones are available 7:00 a.m. to midnight, seven days a week. Calls may be prepaid from commissary funds or collect, and ordinary calls are monitored. Privileged communications with legal counsel, courts, or other protected contacts are treated differently.
Commissary is handled through The Store Call, with deposits through the JailATM lobby kiosk, online JailATM, or money orders and certified checks mailed to the Roberta Drive facility in the inmate's name. Personal checks are not accepted, and no money transfers are allowed between inmate accounts. If a commissary order arrives after release or transfer, the inmate or a designated family member has five days to pick it up.
The Sheriff's Inmate Support Services page identifies JailATM, commissary, medical care, food service, and religious-service practices for the jail.
Those support details help families avoid sending money or mail to the wrong place while the public roster is unavailable.
Lamar County Custody Lookup
A Lamar County inmate search can move across systems as a case changes. County jail custody covers pretrial detainees, local-sentence inmates, and state-sentenced inmates who have not yet transferred. GDC covers state prisoners after transfer. BOP covers sentenced federal inmates from 1982 to present, while federal pretrial custody often requires U.S. Marshals, federal court, or attorney contact because there is no general USMS public prisoner locator. ICE ODLS covers people in ICE custody or CBP custody more than 48 hours, not every person with a local ICE detainer.
| Custody Type | Best Lookup Route | What It Does Not Cover |
|---|---|---|
| Current county jail | Lamar County Jail, 770-358-5151 | State prison, federal prison, or ICE custody after transfer. |
| Written county record | Sheriff records, 770-358-5377 or general@lamarcountysheriff.com | Final court disposition unless the record is held by the sheriff. |
| State prison | Georgia.gov Find an Offender and the live GDC query form | People still in Lamar County Jail before transfer. |
| Federal sentence | BOP Inmate Locator | County bookings, most federal pretrial location questions, and mugshot galleries. |
| Immigration custody | ICE ODLS or ICE detainee information contact | Local detainers before ICE takes custody. |
| Release alerts | VINELink Georgia | The official Lamar booking record or court file. |
The GDC offender query form includes name, description, ID, case, institution, sentence status, active or inactive scope, and photo filters. Georgia.gov also notes that county jail inmates should be searched through the county, which is why the Lamar County jail and sheriff records route remains the first step for local custody.
The Georgia.gov Find an Offender page is the state gateway for people serving in Georgia Department of Corrections custody after transfer.
GDC search results may include a state ID or EF number, offense, tentative parole month, location, and photo when available, but GDC advises users to verify records through written correspondence.
Lamar County Records Law
Georgia's Open Records Act, O.C.G.A. 50-18-70 et seq., is the general public-records framework for agency records, subject to exemptions. Lamar County's open-records page applies O.C.G.A. 50-18-71(b) to copy costs: regular copies are $0.10 per page, and time beyond the first 15 minutes may be charged at the rate of the lowest-paid qualified employee able to perform the work. Those fees are separate from custody confirmation by phone.
For a Lamar County inmate record request, identify the exact record and the office likely to hold it. Use Inmate Info Sheet for the jail record, Incident Report when the arrest arose from a reported event, CAD report or 911 Audio when dispatch records are needed, and Other when asking for a booking-related item that is not named on the form. Ask for email delivery if available, or ask the custodian to advise the copy cost before processing.
Note: Records may be incomplete, redacted, or held by a different office, so verify release, transfer, charges, and court outcomes with the originating agency.
