The Cobb Co Jail is a detention center located at 1825 Co Services Pkwy Marietta, GA which is operated locally by the Cobb 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. Cobb County accepts inmates from surrounding towns, Marietta 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.

The Cobb County Jail Complex, located at 1825 County Services Parkway, functions as a pretrial facility encompassing approximately one million square feet. The complex consists of three buildings: Building A, completed in 1987 at a cost of $13.5 million, Building B, added in 1997 for $39.2 million, and the most recent expansion, C Tower, finished in 2010 at a cost of $110 million. Building A and B expansions were funded through property bonds, while C Tower was financed via a special sales tax. The combined capacity of these facilities totals 3,077 beds.

The Detention Facilities Division oversees numerous essential functions, including detainee processing, medical care, commissary services, library access, and the detainee labor force. Additionally, the division manages food services, facility security, the work release program, and the custody of both pretrial and sentenced detainees. Maintenance of incarceration records is also a critical responsibility, ensuring the accurate documentation of arrest records, fingerprints, photographs, and court documents. This division is divided into the Jail, the Work Deployment Facility, and the Annex.

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.

Inmate workers are chosen based on conduct and cooperation with staff. Participation in the community service program can sometimes reduce sentences. Commissary is available weekly, with orders submitted via kiosk two days in advance. On holidays, there may be increased spending limits. Upon receiving commissary items, inmates must present their ID, check their order, and sign for it in the presence of the commissary employee. Indigent inmates are provided with all essential basic hygiene items including USPS stamps and writing materials.

The Work Deployment Facility houses non-violent sentenced detainees and includes supervised county work crews and work release participants. These work crews are deployed daily throughout the county to various departments, saving taxpayers over $2 million annually by performing labor that would otherwise require hiring additional staff. Work release participants are detainees serving their sentences in a minimum-security setting, who are permitted to work or attend school or training classes during the day. To qualify for the work release program, detainees must pass a thorough background investigation and demonstrate gainful employment or enrollment in educational programs.

The Records and Identification Unit is tasked with maintaining comprehensive arrest and incarceration records, including fingerprints, photographs, and court documents for detainees in the Cobb County Detention Facilities. This unit also manages the dissemination of record data and photographs in accordance with GCIC and NCIC regulations. The Transport Section ensures the safe and secure movement of detainees to various destinations, including county courts, medical facilities, and other detention or correctional institutions throughout the county and state.
