What should you know about the booking process at Bulloch County Correctional Institution?
Once arrested, the person is taken to Bulloch County Correctional Institution for booking, a process that confirms identity, assesses charges, and determines if they will be released on their own recognizance, posted for bail, or held until court.
Staying silent is key during this process, as anything spoken can be used as evidence in court. It’s best to wait for legal counsel before responding to questions.
Steps involved in booking at Bulloch County Correctional Institution include:
- Confirming identity.
- Taking mugshots for record.
- Medical, mental health, and substance history questioning.
- DNA collection if applicable.
- Comprehensive physical search.
- Seizing personal property.
- Access to a free phone call.
To check on an offender’s bond amount, contact Bulloch County Correctional Institution at 912-764-6217.
Steps to pay bail in Bulloch County
After an arrest, individuals are brought to Bulloch County Correctional Institution in Statesboro for processing. Following this, three possible outcomes exist:
1. The individual may be released without posting bail, with a promise to appear in court.
2. The individual could be held in jail until their court date.
3. Bail or bond can be posted for release; for more information, contact 912-764-6217.
Bail payment can be handled through various means.
- Pay a cash bond in full at the bonding window inside the jail or at the clerk of court, by cash, cashier's check or money order; a lobby kiosk or online bond vendor often takes debit and credit cards for an extra fee, and you should bring the inmate's full name and booking number (the jail can be reached at 912-764-6217).
- Licensed bail bond agents in Bulloch County are available for assistance.
- Land or a home can often serve as bond collateral: the owner provides a deed and a recent tax or appraisal value showing clear title and equity of at least the bond amount, commonly double, and the court that set bail approves the pledge.

There are two options for putting money on an inmate's books:
Choice 1 - Deposit Inmate Money Online
Bulloch County Correctional Institution uses CommissaryDeposit.com to process all online deposits to an inmate's account. The company charges you a small fee for doing so, but the fee probably isn't as much as gas and parking would cost to take it to the jail in person.
Choice 2 - Mail the Inmate Deposit to the Jail
Mailing a deposit takes more time to process than the other methods but can be done if you live too far away to bring it in person and you don't have a debit/credit card for online deposits. Never send cash. Always send a Money Order from the US Post Office, a reputable bank or Western Union.
Make the Money Order out to the inmate's name and put their Inmate ID# in memo section of the Money Order.
**Call 912-764-6217 first to ask Bulloch County Correctional Institution if this option is still available.
