Most of the sentenced inmates are here for less than two years. Oconee County accepts inmates from surrounding towns, Watkinsville Police Department, and the US Marshal's Service.

My relative in jail is sick/injured. What can I do?

The Oconee County Jail has a doctor trained in emergency medicine under contract who is responsible for all inmate medical needs.

The jail staff will assist him or her as required. The jail staff and the Sheriff are not doctors, and can not give medical advice to an inmate. The jail physician makes all medical decisions.

Inmates are only allowed to contact people who wish to have contact with them. Collect calls ensure that only people who want calls from the jail actually receive them.
