Dooly County Jail Roster Status
No official public searchable Dooly County jail roster was located on the official county government site or the Dooly County Sheriff's Office site. The sheriff home page has an Inmate Info path that resolves to the detention page, but the accessible official content did not show a search box, current-inmates table, released-inmate list, booking report, mugshot gallery, booking number search, or sample inmate profile. That means Dooly County inmate records should be described as phone, in-person, and open-records driven unless the sheriff later publishes a roster.
The main local lookup point is the Dooly County Sheriff's Office / Dooly County Justice Center at 576 Pinehurst-Hawkinsville Road in Pinehurst. The official sheriff contact page lists the phone as (229) 645-0920. The sheriff FAQ says deputies can be reached 24 hours a day, seven days a week, while administrative hours are Monday through Friday, 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM. Sheriff Craig Peavy is listed on official pages, and the Georgia Sheriffs' Association 2026 directory lists Maj. Darrell Bryant as jail administrator.
Roster finding: Do not assume online Dooly County mugshots, booking numbers, roster refresh times, or released-inmate retention. Those features were not found in official county sources.
Search Dooly County Inmate Records
A current custody search should start by phone because no official online roster was found. The caller should be ready with enough identifiers for jail staff to distinguish the person from same-name matches. Staff may be able to confirm whether the person is in Dooly County custody, was released, was transferred, or is held under another authority. Some details may require a written request or a court contact.
- Call Dooly County Sheriff's Office / jail at (229) 645-0920 for current county custody.
- Provide the person's full legal name, date of birth if known, approximate arrest date, arresting agency, and city or area of arrest.
- Ask whether the person is held at Dooly County Jail, has been released, was transferred, or has a hold from another agency.
- Ask whether bond has been set and which court should be contacted for the case number or next court date.
- If full details cannot be released by phone, request the booking record under the Georgia Open Records Act.
- For release or transfer notification, register with Georgia VINELink when available.
Dooly County Roster Fields
The county roster field table is intentionally sparse because the official Dooly County jail roster was not located. State prison search fields are different and should not be applied to county pretrial detainees. A person newly arrested in Dooly County may not appear in GDC because GDC is mainly a sentenced state-prison system.
| System | Field Label | Type | Required | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Dooly County jail roster | No official online roster located | n/a | n/a | Use sheriff phone, in-person, mail, and open-records request channels. |
| Phone lookup | Full name | Call detail | Yes | Add DOB, arrest date, arresting agency, and location if known. |
| Open-records request | Subject identifiers | Written request | Yes | Ask for booking sheet, release record, bond sheet, charge list, and photo if releasable. |
| GDC Offender Query | Last / first name, gender, race, age range, institution, crime, conviction county | Web fields | Varies | For sentenced state prisoners, including Dooly State Prison, not county pretrial custody. |
Request Dooly County Booking Records
If the person is no longer in custody, if the jail cannot release details by phone, or if a written booking sheet is needed, use the Georgia Open Records Act process. The sheriff did not publish a separate records-request web form in the official pages reviewed, so use the sheriff's mailing address or in-person address unless the office gives a better channel by phone. The Attorney General's FAQ says agencies generally owe an initial response within three business days, though redactions, exemptions, and lawful fees may apply.
| Requested Field | What It Shows |
|---|---|
| Name and aliases | Identity used at booking and other names that may help locate the record. |
| Date of birth / age | Helps distinguish same-name matches, with privacy redactions possible. |
| Booking date/time | When the person was processed into Dooly County Jail. |
| Arresting agency | Deputy, city police, GSP, DNR, or other agency that brought the person in. |
| Arrest or booking charges | Initial intake charges, which may not match final court charges. |
| Bond information | Bond amount, type, no-bond hold, or other hold if releasable. |
| Case or warrant number | Connection to court or warrant records. |
| Release or transfer status | Still in jail, released, bonded out, transferred, or held for another authority if releasable. |
| Booking photo | Handled under Georgia booking-photo law, not promised as an online field. |
Dooly County Jail Contact
The local jail contact card is the practical anchor for Dooly County inmate records. The jail is in Pinehurst, not at the courthouse in Vienna. That distinction prevents wasted trips because court files and jail custody records are held at different places. Use the phone line for current custody, then ask whether a records request must be mailed or delivered in person.

Dooly County Inmate Visitation
The sheriff FAQ publishes the Dooly County Jail visitation schedule and entry basics. It does not publish a full visitor handbook, dress code, visit length, child visitor rule, lockdown policy, video visitation rule, or attorney-visit procedure in the accessible official text. Confirm the current rule before travel, especially after a new booking, court movement, classification change, or facility security event.

Dooly County Custody Access Chain
Different systems cover different custody stages. A jail booking in Dooly County is not the same as a GDC prison record, a federal BOP record, or an ICE detention record. Use the system that matches the person's status. If the person was just arrested locally, start with the sheriff. If the person was sentenced to state prison, use GDC. If the case is federal or immigration-related, the county jail may not be the final locator.
| Custody Question | Where to Look | What It Covers |
|---|---|---|
| Current Dooly jail custody | Dooly County Sheriff's Office at (229) 645-0920 | Local pretrial, short-term, holds, and transfer questions. |
| Booking sheet or past jail record | Sheriff open-records request by mail or in person | Booking, release, bond, and charge records if releasable. |
| Sentenced Georgia prisoner | GDC Offender Query | State prison record, GDC ID, institution, conviction county, photo if available. |
| Release notifications | Georgia VINELink | Custody-status notification, not a court database. |
| Federal sentenced custody | BOP Inmate Locator | Federal BOP custody and records from 1982 to present. |
| Immigration detention | ICE ODLS | ICE custody or CBP custody over 48 hours, not under-18 searches. |
GDC Search for Dooly Prisoners
Dooly State Prison is a separate Georgia Department of Corrections facility in Unadilla. It holds adult male felons in state custody and is searched through GDC, not through the Dooly County Jail phone path. The GDC facility page lists a capacity of 1,702, while the GDC 2026-05 profile run June 1, 2026 counted 1,592 active inmates at Dooly State Prison. That population is not the county jail population.
| GDC Field | Use | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Last and first name | Name search | GDC suggests trying the first four letters of the last name if no match appears. |
| Gender, race, age range | Narrow results | Use carefully to avoid filtering out the right person. |
| Most recent institution | Facility filter | Includes Dooly County Jail and Dooly State Prison in the dropdown. |
| Conviction county | County filter | Dooly County is available as a conviction-county option. |
| Active / inactive | Status scope | Search active, inactive, or both. |
| GDC ID or case number | Identifier search | Best when the state offender number or case number is known. |
Dooly County Booking Process
A typical Dooly County arrest can involve Dooly deputies, city police, Georgia State Patrol, DNR, or another agency operating in the county. If the arrest results in county custody, the person is transported to the Dooly County Justice Center / Jail in Pinehurst. Jail intake normally includes identity confirmation, paperwork review, property inventory, safety search, fingerprints, a booking photograph, charge and warrant entry, screening, classification, and housing assignment. The sheriff's detention page describes the jail mission as safety and security for citizens, staff, and inmates.
Timing is not published in the official Dooly sources. Do not expect a same-day online listing because no official online roster was found. A new arrest can be real even when it does not appear in GDC. Bond, court dates, and formal charges may appear first through jail staff, then through Magistrate Court, the Clerk of Superior Court, or Re:SearchGA as the case moves forward.
Dooly County Mail and Money
The sheriff detention page links Send Money to JailATM and displays headings for Inmate Mail and Bondsmen. The accessible official text did not capture a full mail policy, bondsman list, commissary ordering rule, phone vendor, video visitation policy, or accepted bond tender list for the county jail. Call before mailing anything, sending funds, or trying to post bond.
| Topic | Official Detail Found | Practical Caution |
|---|---|---|
| Money deposits | Sheriff detention page links to JailATM. | Confirm custody before sending money. |
| Inmate mail | Heading found, detailed rules not captured. | Call for address format and restrictions. |
| Bondsmen | Heading found, list or rules not captured. | Ask jail how bond can be posted. |
| Commissary / phone | No county-specific vendor details captured. | Do not apply GDC prison Securus rules to the county jail unless the jail confirms. |
