About the Gwinnett County Detention Center

The Gwinnett County Sheriff’s Office is responsible for operating the Gwinnett County Detention Center and does so by using three shifts each day, ensuring the location is supervised and staffed around the clock; a day watch, an evening watch, and a night watch. On average there are between 2,000 and 2,500 inmates at any time, and it houses pre-trial inmates, both male and female, while they wait for their trial to begin or if they have qualified and are waiting for bail.

Gwinnett County Detention Center has two separate sections, Wimbley Tower and Plunkett Building, and the sprawling campus spans a large, fenced area within the city of Lawrenceville. It has an extended size with only two levels, and then the tower portion which rises above the rest.  While within, there are many programs that are provided to the inmates in addition to their basic needs of meals, medical care, mental health support, laundry, and recreation activities.

Inmates are also able to access treatment for addictions issues or other rehabilitation efforts, and educational opportunities are provided for ongoing education and life long learning, preparing them for additional learning chances after their release as well as more employable skills. There is access to a commissary, allowing for additional snacks, clothing, hygiene items, and some recreation activities to be purchases, phones that allow them to call out, and visits to see family or friends. 

Mail: All mail is delivered to a processing location where it is opened and scanned into the system, where contraband or illegal content may be stored for future needs. No postcards may be altered, there must be no marking of paint, marker, or crayon, no depictions of weapons or adult content, or any code or drawings may be present.

Recent Bookings & Arrests

How do I find out if someone has been arrested and booked into the Gwinnett County Detention Center?

To find out if someone you know has been recently arrested and booked into the Gwinnett County Detention Center, call the jail’s booking line at 770-619-6700.

There may be an automated method of looking them up by their name over the phone, or you may be directed to speak to someone at the jail. Sometimes the jail staff may ask you the offender’s date of birth to ensure privacy of the offender’s status.

Keep in mind that after an arrest, the information on an offender may not be publicly available for several hours.

If you don’t want to check up on an offender by calling the jail, you can also try looking up people recently booked online.

Gwinnett County Detention Center Booking Roster

What happens during booking in Gwinnett County?

After being arrested and taken into custody, and after being read their Miranda Rights, an offender will next be transported to the local police or department or the Sheriff’s Department in Gwinnett County for booking.

Booking is very involved and requires multiple steps in the process, however, keep in mind that most attorneys will advise that an offender remain silent and not offer any additional information about the crime they have been arrested for because anything they do say may be recorded and may very well be used against them in court.

What is the booking process like at the Gwinnett County Detention Center?

Booking includes having their photo (mugshot) and fingerprints taken, as well as being asked a lot of questions about their personal history and state of mind. If it’s a serious felony, their DNA may also be taken. They will also be checked for warrants in Gwinnett County and other Georgia and USA jurisdictions.

If the offender was arrested for a DUI offense, and has refused a breathalyzer test, they may also be forced to have blood drawn by a doctor or nurse.

It is also very likely that the offender will undergo a humiliating full body search while in the nude. This includes bending over, spreading their cheeks in the direction of an officer, and coughing. They will also be walked through a metal detector or x-ray machine, like those used at an airport.

What kind of questions are asked during booking?

The arresting jurisdiction will ask about gang affiliations, tattoos, medical conditions, prescribed medication they are taking, recreational drugs they are on or addicted to, allergies, if they are suicidal, and other relevant information that will help with determining their cell assignment and special needs.

What happens to an offender’s personal property during booking?

During the arrest and booking process an offender will also have all their personal property confiscated and held for either their release from jail, or with the offender’s approval, released to a friend or family member.

Personal property includes the clothing they are wearing, money, wallets, purses, cell phones, jewelry, body rings, earrings, watches, and even glasses if they are deemed a security risk. If they are allowed to keep their shoes or sneakers, the laces are removed.

What happens after booking?

At this point the offender will be allowed to make a free phone call to a person of their choice to notify them of their arrest, and/or arrange a bond or bail for their release.

If the offender is being detained and housed while awaiting arraignment, the Gwinnett County Detention Center will provide a jail garment and slip-on shoes, a blanket, sheets, soap, toothbrush, toothpaste, and a towel.

Often, before they are dressed in the jail outfit and brought to their housing location, they will be forced to take a shower and undergo a disinfectant treatment for body and hair lice, scabies or other pests that may be residing on their person.

How long does the Gwinnett County Detention Center Booking process take?

Booking can take anywhere from an hour to 24 hours or more. It all depends on the number of people that are awaiting processing, the number of staff on duty at the time, and the behavior of the offender.

If the offender is heavily intoxicated and/or violent, the Booking Officer may decide to stick the offender in a holding cell for several hours until they become more manageable.

Inmate Money Accounts

How Do You Deposit Money for an Inmate in the Gwinnett County Detention Center?

There are FOUR options for putting money on an inmate's books:

Option 1 - Dropping Money at the Jail
Bring money to the jail in person. 
You will use a Jail ATM self-serve kiosk in the lobbies that accepts cash, debit or credit cards. YOU WILL ALSO NEED THE INMATE'S FULL BOOKING NAME AND INMATE ID #.

Option 2 - Deposit Inmate Money Online
Gwinnett County Detention Center uses Jail ATM 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. 
YOU WILL ALSO NEED THE INMATE'S FULL BOOKING NAME AND INMATE ID #.


Option 3 - 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. Call the Gwinnett County Detention Center first as they may want you to do this online or at the jail kiosk instead.
Make the Money Order out to the inmate's name and put their Inmate ID# in memo section of the Money Order.
