The Coffee County GA Jail is a medium-security detention center located at 825 Thompson Dr Douglas, GA which is operated locally by the Coffee 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. Coffee County accepts inmates from surrounding towns, municipalities, the US Marshal's Service and the Douglas Police Department who do not have their own long-term lock-up.

​Upon arrest, the inmate must go through the booking process, which is the same for everyone regardless of the charge. Inmates will be given the opportunity to use the telephone once the booking process is completed to contact their family, attorney, and/or bondsman. The Coffee County Jail is a smoke-free facility, and any tobacco products, lighters, or matches are strictly prohibited inside the Jail.
