Jasper County Jail Inmate Bail & Bonds

Yes. Enter the last name in Jasper County Inmate Search. If he is there, the page lists the charges and the bond once one is set. A person arrested within the hour often is not listed yet.

When the name is missing after several hours, call the sheriff's office at 706-468-4912 and ask if he was driven to another county or is waiting to be booked.

The Jasper County Sheriff's Office is responsible for the county jail. The office is at 1551 Highway 212 West, Monticello, GA 31064, and the county directory shows the jail's captain at the same sheriff's number, 706-468-4912. There is no separate jail line in the county directory.

The sheriff's number, 706-468-4912, is the one to use for custody questions. Hours for the front desk are not posted on the county pages. If you call at night and no one can help with bond, call again in the morning and ask what time bond payments are taken.

The county site and sheriff's site do not post a bonding window, its hours, or accepted forms of payment. Ask 706-468-4912 these four things: where to go, which hours, which forms of payment, and whether the money goes to the jail or to the clerk. Bring the person's full name and booking number.

Georgia law (O.C.G.A. 17-4-26) requires that an arrested person go before a judge within 72 hours. In Jasper County the magistrate court, at 126 West Greene Street, Suite 223, Monticello, handles that first step. Chief Judge office line is 706-468-4948. Ask which morning the hearing is.

The county pages do not show one, so this page gives no dollar amounts. Your person's figure, if set, is on Jasper County Inmate Search. If the line is empty, call the magistrate court at 706-468-4948 and ask whether a hearing has taken place.

Yes, if the judge allows a surety bond. The bondsman charges a fee for posting it, and O.C.G.A. 17-6-30(a) caps that fee at 15 percent of the bond. A $50 charge per bonded offense is allowed even when 15 percent is smaller. Georgia law (O.C.G.A. 17-6-1) has the sheriff of the arrest county approve the surety first. The Jasper pages name no approved bondsmen, so ask 706-468-4912 which ones the jail accepts, and get the price in writing.

Property can secure a Georgia bond if the sheriff of the county of the offense approves it (O.C.G.A. 17-6-12). The statute states no equity multiple, and the county pages post none. Ask 706-468-4912 whether the land must be in Jasper County, how much equity counts, and who must sign.

A handful of the gravest charges, like murder and rape, go before a superior court judge alone for bail (O.C.G.A. 17-6-1). Many lesser charges, including burglary and DUI, sit on the restricted list in O.C.G.A. 17-6-12, so a judge needs money or property behind the release. A probation hold or a warrant in another county can also keep a person in.

The Clerk of Superior Court is at 126 West Greene Street, Suite 110, Monticello, GA 31064, open 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday through Friday. Call 706-468-4901. The county directory lists a clerk for criminal and juvenile matters on the extension 227 line of that number. Probate court, at Suite 111, answers at 706-468-4903 but does not take criminal bonds.

Ask the officer where the person was taken, and get a report number. Then watch Jasper County Inmate Search to see the booking appear. A city ordinance case may be heard in a different court, so ask which one.

Jasper County is in the Ocmulgee Judicial Circuit. The circuit public defender has a satellite office at 126 West Greene Street in Monticello, and the main office in Milledgeville, 121 North Wilkinson Street, answers at 478-445-8100. Ask for an appointed lawyer when you first see the judge.

The Department of Juvenile Justice sends detained youth from Jasper County to the Macon Regional Youth Detention Center, 4164 Riggins Mill Road, Macon, GA 31217. The listed contact is 478-751-3407. Juvenile cases are closed to the public and will not appear in the adult search.

The judge can order an arrest and keep the bond. Reach a lawyer and the clerk's office at 706-468-4901 that day to find out the next step. A bondsman may also try to take the person back into custody.

No. Money on a jail account is for calls and commissary. If someone you do not know asks for gift cards or an app transfer to "clear" a bond, hang up and call 706-468-4912 yourself.

Not every arrest stays in county court. A federal charge from Jasper County is filed in the Middle District of Georgia and heard in its Macon Division: William A. Bootle Federal Building & US Courthouse, 475 Mulberry Street, Macon, GA 31201, phone (478) 752-3497. A federal magistrate judge decides whether the person can go home before trial.
