Locate Crawford County Jail Inmates

Crawford County Jail Overview

Crawford County Jail, also described as the Crawford County Sheriff's Office Detention Center, is operated by the Crawford County Sheriff's Office. It is a county jail, not a state prison. The Georgia Department of Corrections location page lists Crawford County Jail as a county jail contact, which confirms the address and phone but does not convert the facility into a GDC prison.

The jail holds current arrestees, pretrial detainees, people awaiting first appearance or bond hearings, limited sentenced custody, and inmates included in Georgia jail immigration-status reporting. Sheriff Lewis S. Walker leads the agency. Detention Captain Corey King is identified by the sheriff as responsible for daily detention-center operations, detention staff, and inmates.

The GDC Crawford County Jail location page is a useful state confirmation of the local jail's contact listing.

The state listing should be read as contact corroboration, while custody lookup for local arrestees still starts with the county roster.

Crawford County Jail Population

Population figures for Crawford County Jail should be tied to dates and sources. The May 2026 Georgia Sheriffs' Association report listed 21 inmates and 22 reported capacity. The Vera 2026 county row listed 26 jail population and 26 capacity. Local sheriff pages did not publish a permanent architectural bed count, so those figures should be called reported capacity values.

The sheriff's 2026 Q1 criminal-alien track-and-report page counted 86 inmates booked during that quarter, 16 LESC inquiries, 16 LESC responses, 6 responses indicating illegal-alien status, and 3 DHS immigration detainers. That report is a quarterly jail-statistics source, not an ICE detainee locator.

Lookup Crawford County Jail Inmates

The correct local lookup tool is the Crawford County Jail Population Report. It has Current Inmates, 24 Hours Arrests, and Inmates by Arrest Date views. A person who has been sentenced and transferred to state prison should be searched in GDC instead. Federal sentenced prisoners use BOP, immigration detainees use ICE ODLS, and notification needs can use VINELink.

1. Open the Crawford County Jail Population Report.
2. Use Current Inmates for present county-jail custody.
3. Search by last name, then add a first name if needed.
4. Check recent-arrest and arrest-date tabs when a booking is new.
5. Call (478) 836-3116 if release, bond, or custody status must be confirmed.

Crawford County Jail Contact

The sheriff contact page lists the sheriff's office and jail campus in Knoxville. It also lists administration hours Monday through Friday, closed weekends and observed holidays, with patrol and dispatch active at all times. Those administration hours should not be treated as visitation, bond, or records-counter hours unless the jail confirms them.

The sheriff contact page is the official local source for the jail address, main phone, administration hours, and 24/7 patrol/dispatch note.

Use the jail phone before visiting because parking, entry, and visitor rules were not fully published in current official pages.

Visit Crawford County Jail

Current sheriff pages inspected did not publish a complete current visitation policy. A legacy detention page found by the researcher listed Tuesday 4-7 PM and Saturday 2-5 PM, with one 30-minute visit each visitation day. Because that legacy detail was not visible on the current sheriff WordPress detention page, it should be confirmed by phone before anyone travels.

Crawford County Jail Mail Money

The current sheriff pages inspected did not publish a mail-address format for inmates, package rules, money-deposit vendor, phone vendor, video-visitation vendor, tablet program, commissary fee table, or online deposit link. Do not assume Securus, GTL/ViaPath, HomeWAV, Access Corrections, JPay, or another vendor without direct jail confirmation.

Call the jail before mailing funds, sending packages, or using any deposit service. The published administration hours are not the same thing as deposit or visitation hours.

Crawford County Jail Booking

No official Crawford County booking handbook, property-release instruction, medical-screening policy, or intake FAQ was located. The build-safe path is a restrained custody sequence supported by the roster, statutes, and court pages. After arrest or warrant service, the person is brought to Crawford County Jail, jail staff create a custody record, the public roster may list the booking, Magistrate Court may handle first appearance or bond, and a sentenced state prisoner later moves to GDC custody.

Georgia's jail record statute requires the sheriff to keep records for people committed to jail. The Crawford roster then shows public fields such as status, arrest date, days in jail, charges, and total bond. It does not show every jail-file field, and address information was redacted in inspected public view.

Crawford County Jail Operations

The sheriff detention page identifies Captain Corey King as detention captain and says he oversees daily detention-center operations, detention staff, and inmates. That page gives local command context but does not publish housing-unit layouts, booking-desk hours, accreditation status, renovation history, or a current visitor entrance map.

The old Crawford County Jail is separate from the current facility. National Park Service documentation identifies the historic jail as an 1888 building near the courthouse that served until 1972. The current jail and sheriff office are at Hortman Mill Road, not at the historic jail or court address.
