The Barrow Co Jail is a detention center located at 652 Barrow Park Dr Winder, GA which is operated locally by the Barrow County Sheriff's Office and holds inmates awaiting trial or sentencing or both. Most of the sentenced inmates are here for less than two years. Barrow County accepts inmates from surrounding towns, Winder Police Department, and the US Marshal's Service.

New detainees arrive at the jail regularly, with some being released on bail, placed under pretrial services caseloads, supervised by probation agencies, or released on recognizance with a court appearance agreement. Those who are not released await their court appearances at the jail, receiving accommodations including bedding and meals. You can see all the arrest records for Georgia here.

The Detention Division of the Barrow County Sheriff’s Office upholds a critical mandate to ensure a secure and controlled environment for all inmates, staff members, and visitors within the courthouse and detention center. This mission is supported by a dedicated team of 102 officers and civilian staff, whose responsibilities extend beyond traditional security measures to include a range of supervisory and operational duties.

Beyond their primary role of facility security, Detention Division Officers are entrusted with a variety of essential security and supervisory tasks. These include overseeing inmate meals to ensure nutritional and safety standards are met, preparing inmates for transport to other facilities while adhering to strict procedural protocols, and receiving new inmates arriving from external locations. Officers are also responsible for escorting inmates to court services, where they ensure safe and orderly appearances, and supervising inmates during medical and mental health treatments, maintaining vigilance to protect both staff and inmates.

The jail offers a phone program for outbound calls only, with inmates unable to receive incoming calls. Accepting collect calls can be expensive, sometimes exceeding $10 per call. Alternatively, setting up an account through a third-party phone company may entail high fees per minute of usage. Click here for discounts on inmate calls, especially if the communication with your inmate is frequent. It's important to remember that all phone calls are recorded, and discussing sensitive legal matters over these lines is discouraged.

Books and magazines ordered for inmates must come directly from the publisher. This policy ensures that the items are new, untampered, and comply with the facility's regulations. The Jail enforces this rule to prevent the introduction of contraband or prohibited materials. By restricting orders to publishers, the facility can better maintain security and control over the content entering the institution. Any books or magazines not received directly from the publisher will be rejected and not delivered to the inmate. You may, however, send letters and selfies to inmates with this easy-to-use app, packages starting at only $8.00.

Additionally, officers conduct both inmate and attorney visitations, facilitating crucial legal and familial connections. They supervise inmates attending drug rehabilitation services, providing necessary support for those undergoing substance abuse treatment. The division also administers the Sheriff's Work Detail Program, which involves the supervision of inmates assigned to community work projects, contributing to their rehabilitation and providing valuable services to the county.

Overall, the Barrow County Detention Division exemplifies a commitment to safety, professional development, and community engagement, ensuring a comprehensive approach to correctional facility management.
