Locate Seminole County Jail Inmates

Seminole County Jail Overview

Seminole County Jail is operated by the Seminole County Sheriff's Office. Official county and state sources place the jail at 208 Court Street in Donalsonville, the same public-safety address used by the sheriff. The sheriff jail page says the facility houses inmates for the Sheriff's Office and the Donalsonville Police Department, along with other agencies as needed. That makes the county roster the main public lookup path for most local arrests, including many city-police arrests after transfer to the jail.

The facility type is county jail. It is not a state prison, federal prison, or ICE detention center. The jail population can include pretrial inmates, people serving county sentences, state-sentenced inmates awaiting transfer, and other holds. The Georgia Department of Corrections location directory lists Seminole County Jail at the same Court Street address, but no GDC state prison was found inside Seminole County. Federal and immigration facilities were not found in the county either.

The official sheriff jail page publishes the roster link, visitation schedule, mail rules, commissary and phone deposit links, bond FAQ, public defender note, jail administrator, and detention officer names.

The sheriff page is the best starting point for facility-specific rules because it ties the roster, visits, mail, money, and bond information to the same jail.

Seminole Jail Capacity

The Georgia Sheriffs' Association Jail Report listed Seminole County Jail with 54 permanent beds and 43 inmates in May 2026. That monthly count placed the jail at 79.6 percent of permanent-bed capacity. The same report broke the May count into 34 awaiting trial, 4 sentenced to the state, 2 serving county sentences, and 3 listed as other inmates. Those categories are useful because they show the jail is mainly a pretrial facility, while still holding sentenced and other-agency cases when needed.

Small county jail counts can move quickly. A change of a few inmates changes the capacity percentage more sharply than it would in a large jail. Use the monthly report as a population source and the roster as the current custody source, because they are not taken on the same date.

Search Seminole County Jail

Use the InterOp Seminole County inmate roster for people who may be held at Seminole County Jail. The portal has three public tabs: current inmates, last-24-hours arrests, and inmates by arrest date. The roster can show a card with name, status, sex, height, weight, address, arrest date, arresting agency, days in jail, total bond, and charge rows. It may also show a photo slot, although inspected first-page cards used placeholder images.

1. Open the roster from the sheriff jail page or go directly to the InterOp portal.
2. Select Current Inmates for present custody, 24 Hours Arrests for new bookings, or Inmates by Arrest Date for a date-range search.
3. Enter last name and first name if known. Date fields appear on the arrest-date tab.
4. Use the paging controls if many cards are returned.
5. Confirm the card refers to Seminole County Jail, then read the arresting agency, bond, and charge rows.

If the person is not listed, call the jail at 229-524-8396 or use the sheriff records request process for a booking report. After a state-prison transfer, use the GDC offender query. For federal custody use BOP, and for immigration detention use ICE ODLS.

Seminole Jail Contact

Seminole County Jail and the Sheriff's Office share the Court Street address in official sources. Use the jail number for custody, visitation, and inmate-account questions. Use the main office number for general sheriff business, records-routing questions, and records request follow-up. Emergency matters go to 911.

Seminole Jail Visits

Visitation at Seminole County Jail is posted Monday through Friday and assigned by women, protective custody, and pods 114, 115, and 116. Visitors must bring government-issued photo ID. Cell phones, smart devices, electronics, food, drinks, gum, bags, purses, and outside inmate property are not allowed. The jail rules say electronics should be left in the vehicle, and dispatch is not responsible for belongings.

Dress code rules are enforced. Examples of barred clothing include crop tops, shorts, visible undergarments, and see-through clothing. Minors must be with a parent or legal guardian and supervised at all times. Staff directions control the visit, and failure to follow them can result in loss of visitation.

Seminole Jail Mail Money

Seminole County Jail restricts non-legal mail to postcards under a policy effective for mail received on or after August 17, 2015. Incoming cards must have a legible return address and sender name. Letters are not accepted except legal items handled under the legal-mail policy. Money orders or cashier's checks may be mailed for an inmate account, but the purpose should be stated as commissary or phone funds.

Commissary and phone deposits use separate paths. The sheriff jail page links phone deposits through NCIC and commissary deposits through JailATM/Jailmate-style links. The lobby has one kiosk for commissary and a separate kiosk for phones. No money orders are accepted at the jail counter, and personal checks are not accepted. Money must arrive before midnight Monday for that week's commissary order.

Seminole Jail Intake

Booking at Seminole County Jail creates the local custody record after arrest and transport. The roster shows the public side of that process: the card may list physical descriptors, arresting agency, days in jail, total bond, and charge rows. Money in an inmate's possession at booking is receipted and placed on the inmate account. Local sources did not publish the full medical, classification, fingerprint, property, or photo sequence.

The bond path depends on the case type. Citation cases processed in Municipal Court or Probate Court may have a pre-set bond. Warrant arrests require a first appearance before the Magistrate Judge before bond is set. Once bond exists, cash bond, property bond, and bonding-agency options may be available. The sheriff FAQ says bonding agencies may charge up to 15 percent, and a $20 non-refundable cash bond fee applies except for Municipal Court cases.

Cash bond refund routing depends on the court. Probate Court refunds are usually tied to traffic cases, while Superior Court cash-bond release after disposition is handled through the Sheriff's Office process. Bonding-agency fees are private agency fees and are not refunded just because a case is later dismissed.

Seminole Jail Records Requests

The county roster is useful for live lookup, but it is not the same as a booking report or incident report. Use the Seminole County sheriff records request form for booking reports, incident reports, accident reports, body-camera footage, in-car camera footage, and other described records. The form asks for name, email, case number if known, date and time, location, attachments, and the record being sought.

The sheriff records request page is the official local fallback when the roster does not answer an inmate-record question or when a booking report is needed.

The request form is especially important for released bookings, related incident records, and booking-photo questions that do not appear fully on the public roster.

About Seminole County Jail

The jail page names Captain Monteze McCall as jail administrator and lists detention officers. Local program information located in official sources is limited. The jail page states that an inmate can complete a public defender application while in jail and that the jail forwards it to the Public Defender's Office. The public defender phone number listed in research is 229-758-6236. Fingerprinting service is also posted for weekdays during morning and afternoon windows.

The sheriff's community resources page lists outside recovery and crisis resources, but official sources did not locate GED classes, work release, religious services, grievance rules, PREA page, local accreditation status, or a separate medical or mental-health unit description for Seminole County Jail. Use direct jail contact before relying on any service schedule that is not posted by the sheriff.
