Madison County Jail Roster
The Madison County Sheriff's Office Jail Division links to a current inmate portal for Madison County. The Sheriff's jail page says the roster information is updated hourly and consists of inmate name, charges, and bond amount if bond is available. The jail is run by Sheriff J. Michael Moore and handles bonds, court transport, medical and dental transport, and movement to state detention facilities when needed.
The jail roster is a local custody tool. It is useful for current inmates, recent bookings, charge details, bond status, and inmate-specific tabs. It is not a court docket, a statewide criminal-history report, or a full archive of every arrest. Court charge and disposition records remain with the court system, while sentenced state-prison custody is searched through the Georgia Department of Corrections.
The Sheriff's jail page gives several local details that matter when reading an inmate record. The jail population can include pretrial inmates who have not been convicted, county sentenced inmates, state sentenced inmates waiting on transfer or local custody handling, city inmates, and people served an order to incarcerate from Superior Court. Those categories can look similar in a roster search even though the legal status is different. Bond, sentence, and court fields should be checked together before drawing conclusions.
The Sheriff's site documents the jail division and links users to the current jail population through OffenderIndex. The Madison County Sheriff's Office Jail Division page is the local source for jail operations and the roster link.
The roster image reflects the county-specific inmate lookup channel, while the jail page supplies the operating context for custody, bond, and transport questions.
Use the Madison County Roster
The Madison County inmate portal gives three practical entry points: current inmates, bookings over the last 24 hours, and inmates by booking date. Name fields are optional, and the booking-date search can include previous inmates, though the portal warns that broader searches may take longer.
- Open the Madison County OffenderIndex portal and start with the Current Inmates tab for people believed to be in custody now.
- Use First Name and Last Name fields when the roster is long or when the spelling is known.
- Use Bookings Over Last 24 Hours for very recent arrests that may not be familiar from court records yet.
- Use Inmates by Booking Date with a start and stop date when the booking date is known.
- Open the inmate profile and review the Charges, Sentence, Visitation, History, or Other tabs when those tabs contain data.
Madison County Inmate Search Fields
The roster search fields are more specific than a simple name box. Current inmate searches and booking searches use the same basic name fields. Booking-date searches add date pickers and a checkbox for previous inmates. Leaving both date fields blank can view all inmates, based on the portal note captured in the research.
| Field Label | Type | Required | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Current Inmates | Tab | No | Default tab for the current jail population. |
| Bookings Over Last 24 Hours | Tab | No | Shows recent bookings. |
| Inmates by Booking Date | Tab | No | Allows date-range searching. |
| First Name | Text | Optional | Available under current inmates, recent bookings, and booking-date searches. |
| Last Name | Text | Optional | Available under the same roster tabs. |
| Select Date Range | Date pickers | Optional | Start Date and Stop Date fields are used for booking-date searches. |
| Include Previous Inmates In Search | Checkbox | Optional | May take an extended time. |
| Search / Clear | Buttons | No | Runs or clears the roster search. |
Madison County Inmate Profile Fields
An inmate profile can show more than the public summary line. The portal template supports a mugshot position, but public photos may not display because the captured configuration turns public photo display off. Address and date of birth are also disabled in the public template. That leaves custody, identity, charge, bond, and tabbed detail fields as the most useful public record elements.
| Field | What It Shows |
|---|---|
| Name | First and last name tied to the inmate profile. |
| Status | Booked status shown by the roster. |
| Sex, height, weight | Basic descriptive fields visible in the public template. |
| Arrest date and time | When the inmate was booked or arrested in the roster data. |
| Days in jail | Length of current custody shown by the portal. |
| Arresting officer | Officer field when included in the booking data. |
| Total bond | Bond amount if bond is available for the profile. |
| Charges tab | Charges, warrant number, type, statute, counts, and court fields when present. |
| Sentence, visitation, history | Tabbed areas that may show added profile-specific information. |
| ID, release, age | Other enabled fields in the public roster configuration. |
Madison County Jail Contact
The researched jail facility is the Madison County Sheriff's Office and Jail in Danielsville. The jail page says the division works 24 hours a day, seven days a week, with 12-hour rotating shifts. It also says the jail has detention officers, a full-time detention officer overseeing the kitchen, an on-staff nurse under a medical director, and necessary medical, mental health, and religious services.
Madison County Sheriff's Office / Jail
1436 Highway 98 West
Danielsville, GA 30633
706-795-6202
Jail operations run 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
Average daily population is documented as 77 inmates. The jail page says that population can include pretrial inmates, county and state sentenced inmates, city inmates, and people served an order to incarcerate from Superior Court. Male inmates are housed in-house. The county uses agreements with other local facilities for long-term female inmate housing because the jail does not currently have the ability to house female inmates long-term.
That housing detail is important for family members and record users. A female inmate may still have a Madison County booking or court matter even when long-term housing is handled through another local facility by agreement. The roster and jail phone line are the correct places to confirm current custody, while the court file remains with the court that handles the charge, bond, hearing, or sentence.
Madison County Booking Records
A booking record is different from a criminal court record. The jail booking record shows custody facts, charges supplied to the jail, bond status, and related profile fields. The court case record shows filed charges, hearings, pleas, orders, dispositions, and sentencing. A current inmate may have both, but the records live in different systems.
Bond and court transport are core jail functions. The Jail Division processes bonds and transports inmates to court appearances. It also transports inmates to medical or dental facilities and state detention facilities. First appearances, bond, extradition, and committal matters are tied to Magistrate Court responsibilities in Madison County. For the full court file after charges are filed, use Madison County court records or the Clerk of Superior Court channel.
The arrest-to-court path may involve more than one office in the same week. The jail can show that a person is booked and may show total bond. Magistrate Court may handle the first appearance or bond-related step. Superior Court may later hold the felony case file, domestic order, probation matter, or order to incarcerate. A roster search is therefore best used as the custody snapshot, not the final court outcome.
Note: A jail charge is not the same as a conviction; the court disposition controls the final outcome of a criminal case.
Madison County Inmate Visitation
The official pages reviewed did not publish a full public visitation schedule, mail rule sheet, commissary vendor, video vendor, phone-call pricing, or money-deposit process. The inmate portal has a Visitation tab in its profile template, so inmate-specific visit information may appear after opening a profile, but the research did not confirm a universal schedule. Visitors should call the jail before traveling.
| Visit or Contact Topic | Researched Status | Practical Channel |
|---|---|---|
| General visitation schedule | No full schedule located | Call the jail at 706-795-6202 before visiting. |
| Inmate-specific visitation tab | Portal template includes a Visitation tab | Open the inmate profile and review available tabs. |
| Minister visits | Minister request form linked by jail page | Minister must bring ID and minister's license for verification before scheduling. |
| Mail rules | No full rules located in reviewed official pages | Call the jail before sending mail or packages. |
| Money or commissary | No vendor located in reviewed official pages | Do not assume a vendor; confirm with jail staff. |
County Jail vs Georgia DOC
Madison County jail records are for the county jail. State prison records are searched through the Georgia Department of Corrections. Georgia's offender search is for people in GDC facilities, not for county jail detainees. Georgia.gov notes that adult offenders may be searched by name, ID or case number, age, and other identifiers, while county-jail inmates should be searched on the county website.
The Georgia Department of Corrections offender search is the fallback when the person has moved from county custody into state prison. GDC warns that users should verify information through written correspondence with Inmate Records and Information, P.O. Box 1529, Forsyth, GA 31029. That warning matters when identity, release, or sentence status must be exact.
Use the state search only for the state-prison question. If the issue is a new Madison County arrest, a bond question, a current inmate visit, or a local court date, the county roster and county court channels are better sources. If the issue is a person serving a state sentence in a GDC facility, the county roster may no longer show the current custody location.
Madison County Jail Alerts
The Madison County 911 page says the Sheriff's Office uses the Know NOW app for official safety alerts, community updates, and important information. It instructs users to download Know NOW from the app store or visit the app website and follow Madison County Sheriff's Office. No official source reviewed said Know NOW has inmate lookup, warrant search, or records request functions, so it should be treated as an alerts and community-information channel only.
The county 911 source is connected to public safety communication rather than custody lookup. The Madison County 911 Center page documents the Know NOW app reference.
The app note is useful for alerts, but the jail roster remains the researched inmate lookup source for Madison County custody records.
Restricted Madison County Inmate Records
Public inmate records do not show every fact held by the jail or courts. The portal disables public address and date-of-birth display. Juvenile identifying information, sealed court records, medical and mental-health information, protected identifiers, and sensitive law-enforcement records may be restricted or redacted. A profile may also omit a field simply because that detail is not available in the public roster.
For a certified court disposition, contact the Clerk of Superior Court. For current custody, bond, and transport status, contact the jail. For county administrative or sheriff records outside a court case file, Madison County's open-records officer may be the fallback channel. Keeping those channels separate avoids treating a roster page as a full criminal-history report.
Medical services, mental-health services, and religious services are noted by the jail page as operational services, but those service records are not ordinary public roster data. Public users should expect custody and charge fields, not private health details or staff notes. The roster is built to identify custody status and related booking information, while protected service information stays outside the public search result.
