How the Harris County Inmate Search Works
Search the Harris County roster by last name, first name or a word from the listed charge. Names may be spelled differently in booking records, so try the last name on its own first. The roster on this page is read from the inmate list the Harris County sheriff publishes online, including the charge and bond fields the jail itself posts.
A new booking can appear several hours after the arrest, and a person transferred to another facility will drop off this list. Nearby county jails in Georgia, such as Haralson, Hart, Hancock, keep separate rosters; someone arrested across a county line will be booked there instead. Fulton and other metros have inmate searches; rural counties may be phone-and-PDF country.
This roster covers Harris County Jail only; it is not a statewide Georgia inmate search. People sentenced to state prison are listed by the state department of corrections. Georgia county jails are sheriff-run.
Posting Bail at Harris County Jail
Georgia uses professional bondsmen heavily. A Cobb bondsman may not post Fulton. First appearance practice varies by county size. Roster bond figures can lag the judge. Bail bond agents must be licensed in Georgia and approved to post bonds at this jail.
Bond amounts shown on the roster can change after the first court appearance. Criminal cases from this jail are generally heard at Harris County Superior Court. CurrentPrisonList does not accept bail payments or recommend bondsmen.
If the person also has a hold from another county or state, posting the Harris County bond may not lead to release. The jail or the defense attorney can confirm which holds are active.
Sending Money to an Inmate
Money for commissary and phone accounts at Harris County Jail is deposited through the jail's approved vendor, kiosk or lobby payment options. Inmate phone calls and video visits run through the jail's contracted communications provider.
Have the person's full name and booking number from this roster ready when you make a deposit. The jail's street address is 5819 Highway 116, Hamilton, GA 31811. Never send money through third parties who claim to represent the jail.

Harris County Court Information
