Check Washington County Jail Listing

Washington County Jail Listing Caution

The Georgia Department of Corrections location directory contains an entry titled “Washington County Jail” and marks it as a county jail. That entry gives 13262 Highway 24 East, Davisboro, GA 31018 and 478-348-5814. Those are the same physical address and phone that GDC publishes for Washington State Prison. Meanwhile, Washington County’s official jail page places the local jail at 733 Kaolin Road in Sandersville.

The conflict is material. A person seeking a same-day county jail release could call the state-prison line if the GDC directory result is taken at face value. The local county source is the more direct authority for the sheriff-operated jail. The GDC listing remains documented as a directory caution, but Davisboro is not treated as a second confirmed Washington County jail.

Compare Washington County Facilities

Two official-source records must be reconciled by custody type. The county page describes the local jail population as people awaiting trial, people serving one year or less, and sentenced people awaiting transfer. GDC describes Washington State Prison as a medium-security prison for adult male felons. Those missions do not describe the same facility.

Names alone are not enough. Confirm the operator, address, and custody class. A sheriff booking belongs in county jail records. A person serving a Georgia felony prison sentence belongs in GDC records. Someone who moved from Sandersville to Davisboro may have a jail transfer record followed by a state offender record.

Confirm Local Jail Release

For local custody, begin with the Washington County sheriff jail data. The current roster identifies people shown as presently booked. The 24 Hours Arrests page can show a recently booked person marked RELEASED. The Inmates by Arrest Date page supports a wider date search and can also contain released statuses.

1. Search the current roster using the person’s name and identity details.
2. Check the last-24-hours view when the arrest was very recent.
3. Use the arrest-date range when the booking falls outside that window.
4. Read status with the arresting agency, bond, charges, warrant, and court fields.
5. Contact the Sandersville jail for a release date, time, reason, or transfer record.

The public status is a lead, not a formal release record. Accessible fields reviewed in the research did not expose a separate release time or release-reason field. A disappearance from the current roster can also reflect transfer or data change. The jail and court records are needed when the legal reason matters.

Confirm State Prison Release

When the person was at Washington State Prison, use the GDC offender query. Do not use the county sheriff roster merely because both facilities are in Washington County. GDC records can identify the current facility, sentence or charge information, and available release-date data. Its disclaimer directs users to verify important information through Inmate Records and Information.

1. Open GDC Find an Offender and accept the query disclaimer.
2. Search by GDC ID, case number, name, or descriptive fields.
3. Compare the result with Washington State Prison’s identity and the person’s sentence information.
4. Check the parole-board TPM tool or Parolee Search when parole may be involved.
5. Use GDC records or DCS supervision information for final confirmation.

A Tentative Parole Month is not an actual release date. An MRD can also change before release. The correct statewide route is covered in the Washington State Prison offender search, including parole and supervision distinctions.

Washington County Listing Records

The GDC directory page is evidence of what GDC publishes about the entry. It is not evidence that the Washington County Sheriff relocated its jail. The county’s current jail-information page remains the direct local source. If an official mailing, court filing, or newer county notice conflicts with either page, verify with the operator before visiting or sending records correspondence.

For a county release record, ask the sheriff or jail for an existing booking sheet, status record, release date and time, release reason, bond-release entry, or transfer record. Give the full name, approximate arrest date, arresting agency, and known charge. If the public charge table identifies Superior Court or State Court, the Clerk of Court can route the associated criminal file.

For a state-prison record, contact GDC Inmate Records and Information at P.O. Box 1529, Forsyth, GA 31029. Include the GDC number when known. Facility staff in Davisboro may answer operational questions, but statewide sentence and release verification belongs with GDC records. The agency that created each record remains its custodian.

Washington County Contact Routing

The safest contact route separates the local jail from the directory listing. Do not mail a county-jail request to Davisboro merely because that address appears under a county-jail title in GDC results. Start with the Sandersville jail for a local booking. Start with the state prison or central GDC for a prison record.

If the person’s location is unknown, ask whether the last event was a local arrest, a felony sentence, or a transfer. That answer identifies the most likely system. It also avoids disclosing sensitive case details to the wrong office.

GDC Jail Listing Evidence

The GDC Washington County Jail location page is the direct source for the conflicting Davisboro contact. Its matching manifest image is included so readers can see the nature of the directory entry rather than relying on a search-result title.

The screenshot documents the directory listing. It should be compared with the county’s own jail page and GDC’s Washington State Prison profile before the address is used for any release inquiry.

Washington County Custody Outcomes

Release from a county booking and departure from a prison are different legal events. A pretrial detainee may post bond, leave by court order, or transfer under a hold. A short-sentence county inmate may leave at sentence expiration after applicable earned time. A person awaiting transfer can depart the jail while remaining confined by GDC.

A RELEASED jail status does not prove a return to the community. Likewise, no longer seeing Washington State Prison as the current facility does not by itself prove discharge. Always identify the receiving agency or post-release status.

Washington County Court Confirmation

The court field in the local jail data is a routing tool. Washington County Superior Court handles felony criminal cases. State Court handles misdemeanor criminal matters and traffic violations. A court file may show a bond order, sentence, probation condition, dismissal, or other legal event that explains why the jail status changed.

Court records may not contain the precise physical release time. The jail record is better for that operational fact. Yet the court order often explains the authority for release more clearly than a roster. Match the case number, charge, and defendant identity before drawing a conclusion.

Davisboro Facility Identity

The Davisboro address belongs to a major state correctional complex in the research. GDC lists Washington State Prison with capacity for 1,548, construction in 1991, medium security, general-population dorms, segregation housing, and a 200-bed annex. That detailed institutional profile is consistent with a state prison, not the local jail population described by Washington County.

Washington State Prison also has an in-house transitional program and other academic, counseling, vocational, religious, and recreation programs. Those programs do not confirm any individual release. They reinforce why Davisboro questions belong with GDC and why the duplicate county-jail directory label should be handled as a source caution.

Resolve the Listing First

Start every inquiry with custody type, operator, and last known event. For a local arrest or county booking, use Washington County Jail at 733 Kaolin Road. For a state sentence or Washington State Prison placement, use GDC at the Davisboro address. Treat the GDC Washington County Jail page as a directory reference that repeats state-prison contact data.

This distinction protects the accuracy of the release search. It also makes records requests more efficient. The right office can confirm whether the person left its custody, whether another agency took custody, and which court or supervision record should be checked next.
