Crawford County Inmate Population
The local Crawford County inmate population is centered on Crawford County Jail, a county jail operated by the Crawford County Sheriff's Office. The jail holds current arrestees, pretrial detainees, people waiting for first appearance or bond hearings, limited sentenced custody, and people with immigration-status checks or detainers noted under Georgia jail reporting law. No separate county prison, work-release center, regional jail, city jail, state prison, Bureau of Prisons facility, or ICE detention center was located in official Crawford County sources.
That compact facility map matters. A person booked after a local arrest should be checked through the county jail population report first. A person sentenced to state prison belongs in the Georgia Department of Corrections system after transfer. Federal sentenced custody is searched through the Bureau of Prisons, while immigration custody uses ICE ODLS. VINELink is a notice tool, not a full jail file, but it can help when release alerts are the goal.
The Crawford County Sheriff's Office homepage is the local starting point for sheriff information, and the jail population report is the roster source linked from sheriff materials.
The sheriff source helps separate local jail custody from state, federal, and immigration systems that do not operate a separate facility in Crawford County.
Crawford County Inmate Population Statistics
The May 2026 Georgia Sheriffs' Association Jail Report listed Crawford County with 21 inmates and 22 reported capacity, a 95.5 percent utilization rate. The same report counted 16 people awaiting trial, 1 state-sentenced inmate housed in the jail, and 0 county-sentenced inmates. Vera's 2026 county row reported a jail population of 26 and capacity of 26. The safest reading is that both are dated reported values, not a permanent architectural bed count.
| Measure | Figure | Source / Date |
|---|---|---|
| Current reported jail population | 21 inmates | Georgia Sheriffs' Association, May 2026 |
| Current reported jail capacity | 22 | Georgia Sheriffs' Association, May 2026 |

Crawford County Inmate Population Trends
Crawford County is small enough that a few bookings can change the jail population rate and capacity use. GSA monthly rows show reported capacity moving with the report, so the monthly figures should be read as operational report values. Vera's long trend is also useful, but its annual decimals are dataset measures rather than a single-day jail count.
| Year or Month | Population | Capacity | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| May 2026 GSA | 21 | 22 | 95.5% utilization, 16 awaiting trial |
| Jan 2026 GSA | 26 | 26 | 100% utilization, 22 awaiting trial |
| 2024 Vera | 14 | 14 | 179.97 per 100,000 residents age 15-64 |
| 2019 Vera | 17.5 | 24 | 256 admissions listed for the year |
| 2000 Vera | 9 | 22 | Long-run county jail context |
The GSA jail report interface is a direct source for the monthly capacity and population figures used above.
The statewide report also shows why Crawford's high utilization should not be compared with statewide totals unless the same source and date are used.
Crawford County Jail Population Makeup
The May 2026 GSA row gives the best current split for the Crawford County inmate population. Most people counted there were awaiting trial, meaning their cases had not reached final conviction and sentence. The roster can show charges and bond fields, but a jail entry is not a conviction. Court records and prosecutor filings may later change, reduce, dismiss, or replace the charge list that appeared at booking.
- Pretrial custody: 16 of 21 inmates were listed as awaiting trial in the May 2026 GSA report.
- State-sentenced jail custody: 1 inmate was listed as state-sentenced in jail in the same GSA row.
- County-sentenced custody: GSA listed 0 county-sentenced inmates for May 2026.
- Immigration checks: the sheriff's 2026 Q1 report counted 86 bookings, 16 LESC inquiries, and 3 DHS detainers.
County Census demographics are useful for local context, but they are not the current jail demographic mix. Vera's 2024 jail demographic fields for Crawford were blank, so no current race or sex breakdown should be inferred.
Crawford County Jail Capacity Rules
Georgia law supplies the frame for jail records, custody, staffing, and reporting. O.C.G.A. Section 42-4-7 requires the sheriff to keep a jail record for people committed to jail and says that record is subject to public inspection. O.C.G.A. Section 42-4-4 covers sheriff custody and care duties. O.C.G.A. Section 42-4-31 requires a full-time jailer on duty while people are incarcerated and semiannual fire-safety inspections.
Georgia jail data point: O.C.G.A. Section 42-4-14 and related jail reporting rules explain why Crawford County publishes immigration-status reporting tied to local jail bookings.
Death-in-custody rules are separate. The Georgia Death Investigation Act summary says a coroner or medical examiner must be notified and an inquiry made for deaths in county penal institutions.

| Filter By Inmate Name | Section label | No | Search can be blank or narrowed by name. |
| last name | Text | No | No wildcard or exact-match rule was published. |

| 24 Hours Arrests | Tab | No | Separate recent-arrest view. |
| Inmates by Arrest Date | Tab | No | Supports date-based review. |
Crawford County Inmate Record Fields
A Crawford County inmate roster entry is a public-facing summary, not the full jail file. The inspected entries showed a photo area or placeholder, name, status, sex, height, weight, redacted address, arrest date, days in jail, total bond, and charge-table fields. The charge table included warrant number, counts, statute, description, misdemeanor/felony marker, and court.
| Field | What It Shows |
|---|---|
| Status | Observed public value included CURRENTLY BOOKED. |
| Arrest Date | Date tied to the arrest event, with agency shown after the date. |
| Total Bond | Can show a dollar amount, NOT SET, or DENIED. |
| Address | Redacted in inspected public view. |
| Court | Charge-table court field; Superior appeared in inspected rows. |
Crawford County Jail vs Prison
A local booking can move through several systems. The county jail roster covers local jail custody. The GDC offender query covers state offenders, including active and inactive records depending on search scope. The BOP inmate locator covers federal sentenced prisoners from 1982 forward. The ICE Online Detainee Locator System covers current ICE custody and CBP custody held more than 48 hours, but it cannot search minors.
| System | Use It For | Main Limit |
|---|---|---|
| Crawford County Jail Population Report | Current local jail custody and recent arrests | No published refresh rate or release-retention rule |
| Georgia Department of Corrections | Sentenced state offenders after transfer | Transfer dates are not provided for security reasons |
| Bureau of Prisons | Federal sentenced custody | Federal pretrial custody may still be with USMS |
| ICE ODLS | Immigration detention | Requires strict A-number or biographical data |
Crawford County Detention Facility
Crawford County's facility map has one current local detention facility. The Georgia Department of Corrections lists Crawford County Jail as a county jail contact, not a state prison. That distinction keeps the search path clear for local arrests and later state transfers.
- Crawford County Jail - county jail for local arrestees, pretrial detainees, people awaiting court action, limited sentenced custody, and immigration-status check reporting.
