Griffin Regional Youth Detention Center Inmate Bail & Bonds

Almost certainly the Spalding County Detention Center at 401 Justice Boulevard, Griffin, GA 30224. Check Spalding County Inmate Search first. For anything else, call the jail desk at 770-467-4286, which the Sheriff's page says is staffed around the clock. The Sheriff's main number, 770-467-4282, is the second option.

No. Spalding County Correctional Institution, 295 Justice Boulevard, is listed by the Georgia Department of Corrections as a medium-security state facility for adult male felons, with its own number, 770-467-4760. Someone waiting on a bond should be at the Detention Center instead.

It is a state facility, so look people up in the Georgia state inmate search, not the county search.

The Sheriff's bonding page gives the office address as 401 Justice Boulevard but no bonding hours. The Detention Center runs 24 hours, so call 770-467-4286 and ask when a bond can be processed. Ask about nights and holidays by name.

The Sheriff accepts cash, property, and professional bonding companies. For a cash bond in lieu of a bondsman, the full amount and all fees must be paid by money order or certified cashier's check made out to the Spalding County Sheriff's Office. A card is not listed. Confirm with 770-467-4286.

Yes. A $20 fee is charged per bond, paid with its own money order or certified cashier's check, apart from the bond amount (the Sheriff cites O.C.G.A. 15-16-21). If a bond is signed in another county for out-of-county land, Spalding charges no bond fee, but the other county may.

The Sheriff lists Anytime Bail Bonding, 678-688-1111; Burden Bonding, 770-227-5155; Rapid Bonding, 770-227-5414; and 1st Choice Bonding, 770-227-9977. He does not recommend any one of them. Any deal is between you and the company.

Georgia law (O.C.G.A. 17-6-30) says a surety cannot take more than 15 percent of the face amount, except that $50 per charge may be taken when 15 percent is lower than that. Ask for a receipt that lists every charge.

The person who signs brings photo ID, a copy of the deed, and the current tax statement. The owner needs enough equity to cover the bond, and the Sheriff's Office must approve it. Call 770-467-4286 for an appointment, because the page lists no office hours for property bonds.

The owner goes to the Sheriff's Office in the county where the land sits. That office processes and seals the bond. It must then reach the Spalding jail within one day of the date on the bond. Plan the drive before you start.

A person arrested without a bond must see a judge, and if the magistrate cannot set one, a bond hearing is scheduled. Spalding County Magistrate Court is at 132 East Solomon Street, Griffin, weekdays 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., and Chief Magistrate Judge leads it. Georgia (O.C.G.A. 17-4-26) puts the first look within 72 hours.

No. Murder, rape, armed robbery, and a few other crimes can be bailed only by a superior court judge (O.C.G.A. 17-6-1). The Clerk of Superior Court answers at 770-467-4746 about hearings and paperwork.

The magistrate may not have set one yet, or a hold from another agency may be in place. A bond that must wait for a superior court judge also looks blank. Ask the jail at 770-467-4286.

No posted Spalding bond schedule turned up. The Sheriff's jail page says bond amounts can be found through its online portal. Check Spalding County Inmate Search or the Sheriff's portal, and do not pay on a guess.

Cash is generally returned when the case is over, less any fines or costs. The Clerk of Superior Court at 770-467-4746 can explain how. A bondsman keeps the fee paid to the company.

The Department of Juvenile Justice sends Spalding County youths to the Martha K. Glaze Regional Youth Detention Center in Hampton (11850 Hastings Bridge Road, 30228). The Department of Juvenile Justice answers at 404-508-6500. A child who is held does not show up on the adult search.

The court may issue a warrant and declare the bond forfeited, and pledged property is at risk. Call a lawyer today and ask the clerk to look up the next date.

If agents such as the FBI, DEA or ATF made the arrest, the case is federal. For Spalding County, that means the Northern District of Georgia, Newnan Division, at Lewis R. Morgan Federal Building & US Courthouse, 18 Greenville Street, Newnan, GA 30263-2789 (678-423-3060). A federal magistrate judge, not a county judge, rules on bail. People held before trial are in the custody of the U.S. Marshals, who may place them in a county jail. People serving a federal sentence show up on the Federal Bureau of Prisons inmate locator.
