Enter her name on Gordon County Inmate Search. You will see whether she is booked, what she is charged with, and the bond if a judge has set one. New bookings can lag, so look again in an hour. The sheriff's website says the jail is open around the clock, and its only listed phone is 706-629-1244.

The Gordon County Jail is at 2700 US Highway 41 NW, Calhoun, GA 30701, in the Gordon County Justice Center. Sheriff runs it. The sheriff's lobby is open Monday to Friday, 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM. After hours and on weekends the lobby is open only for official jail business.

The jail's website says anyone may post a cash bond. Bring U.S. currency for the exact full amount, because the jail cannot make change. A separate $20 cash bond fee is due in exact change for each person bonded out. The jail does not take cash bonds for City of Calhoun cases. Those are paid at the City of Calhoun Municipal Court, 100 Piedmont Street, 706-602-5790.

Everyone booked is brought before a judicial officer.

State law (O.C.G.A. 17-4-26) allows up to 72 hours after an arrest on a warrant.

A judge sets it at first appearance, and it shows on Gordon County Inmate Search once she is booked. Misdemeanor bail cannot be denied or set at an excessive level under O.C.G.A. 17-6-1. If the amount line is empty, call 706-629-1244 and ask whether her hearing has happened.

Georgia caps cash bonds from any person, group, or charity at three per year in a jurisdiction. A natural person posting for an immediate family member is exempt, under the version of O.C.G.A. 17-6-15 that took effect July 1, 2026. Anyone else should count how many they have posted.

O.C.G.A. 17-6-30 limits a surety's take to 15 percent of the bond's face amount. Per bonded charge, though, a company may ask for at least $50, even if 15 percent comes to less. The statute has no refund rule, so read the contract before you sign and ask what happens to the fee.

Yes, in two ways. A property bond uses land in Gordon County whose assessed value is at least the bond amount. Staff check ownership, value, and taxes through Tax Office records, and every listed owner must be present to sign. The same land cannot secure more than one bond at a time, and the jailed person's own property cannot secure his or her bond. A transfer bond uses land in another Georgia county. It is signed at that county's Sheriff's Office and sent to the Gordon County Jail in a sealed envelope. The $20 fee applies to both. For bail restricted charges, O.C.G.A. 17-6-12 calls for property the sheriff approves.

Murder, rape, armed robbery, and certain drug trafficking charges may be bailed only by a superior court judge (O.C.G.A. 17-6-1). A parole or probation hold, or a warrant from another county, can also keep her in. Ask at 706-629-1244 which applies.
