The Stephens Co Jail is a detention center located at 70 N Alexander St Tocca, GA which is operated locally by the Stephens 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. Stephens County accepts inmates from surrounding towns, Tocca 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 Stephens County Jail is primarily a pre-trial detention center where persons accused of crimes, who cannot bond out, await their court dates. It also houses persons sentenced to serve up to twelve (12) months and persons sentenced for more serious offenses until space is available at State facilities. It is the mission of the Jail Division to operate the jail in a manner that ensures the safety and security of the community while, at the same time, providing for a safe, humane and secure environment for staff and inmates. The division prides itself on the dedication, integrity, and honesty of the professional men and women who make the jail function efficiently. These officers work very hard and willingly go beyond the requirements of their normal duties. These devoted individuals ensure that inmates appear for court, serve their sentences, or awaiting transfer to another facility. They are also responsible for safeguarding the inmates’ constitutional rights; arranging adequate housing, meals and recreation as required by law; and providing reasonable access to visitation, religious services, and programs.

In addition to the professional staff at the Jail, the Sheriff’s Office is also responsible for providing inmates with access to appropriate medical, dental, and mental health treatment. To this end we have contracted with CorrectHealth which is responsible for the 24-hour healthcare of our inmate population.

It is important to include the full name of the inmate when sending correspondence since it is not unusual to have more than one inmate with the same name.

When sending money to an inmate, U.S. Postal money orders are preferred. Funds from this source are immediately credited to the inmate’s account for use as a bond (where applicable) or for purchases from the commissary. There is a minimum of a ten-day waiting period on any other type of money order. Personal checks will not be accepted. Please do not send cash through the mail since it can be easily lost or stolen. The Sheriff's Office will not assume responsibility for any cash sent through the mail that is lost or stolen.

Unfortunately, there are many ways that drugs and other contraband can be introduced into a jail facility. As a result, the following common items which lend themselves to the introduction of contraband may not be sent to an inmate in custody:

• stamps
• stationery
• writing instruments
• items containing glue
• oversized greeting cards
• credit cards
• blank checks
• plastic items
• jewelry
• anything used to conduct a business
• candy
• food
• Polaroid pictures or sexually explicit photographs

Medical Care - The Sheriff's Office provides all inmates with appropriate medical care as determined by professional medical and legal standards. Sheriff's Office personnel are unable to discuss inmate medical issues with any third party due to Federal HIPAA law.

Money for inmate’s Commissary Account should be received no later than 12:00 pm on Monday afternoon for store use. Any money deposited after that deadline will not be available for use until the following week. No more than $100 will be accepted at any time. Money possessed by an inmate at the time of booking in this facility will automatically be placed on the Inmate Commissary Account. The purpose of money posted on the Inmate Commissary Account is for store purchases only. If the inmate wishes to release all or part of this money to a friend or relative, the inmate must fill out a separate property release form for this purpose; the friend or relative must be on the inmate's visitation list. Money can be released only one time per booking. Inmates that are on restriction for any reason cannot release money. At no time will money be transferred between inmates’ accounts. Money release is limited to Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday between 8:30 am and 4:30 pm; no release on weekends, Wednesdays, or holidays. There are no exceptions to these rules.
