Peach County Inmate Population Overview
The Peach County inmate population is centered on one local detention facility, the Peach County Jail in Fort Valley. Official research found no separate city jail, regional jail, state prison, federal prison, ICE detention center, or U.S. Marshals contract facility physically in Peach County. People arrested by the Peach County Sheriff's Office, Fort Valley Police, Byron Police, or another authorized agency are generally routed to the county jail when a custodial booking is required. That local jail count is not the same thing as the Georgia Department of Corrections count for sentenced state prisoners.
The best current high-authority jail population source found for Peach County is the Georgia Sheriffs' Association jail report. The latest populated Peach County month captured in the research was April 2026, after the May 2026 table showed blank Peach County values. The April 2026 report listed 106 total inmates and 125 rated capacity. Those figures describe the jail population reported for that month, not a live roster that updates person by person.
Peach County Inmate Population Statistics
Recent Peach County inmate population figures show a jail running below listed capacity in the latest populated month, but close to capacity in some earlier months. April 2026 showed 106 inmates against 125 rated capacity, or 84.8 percent use. January 2026 showed 118 inmates against 120 rated capacity, or 98.3 percent use. The Sheriff's jail page also describes a 116-bed renovation completed in 2011, so capacity should be cited by source and date rather than forced into one number.
| Measure | Figure | Source and Date |
|---|---|---|
| Latest populated total inmates | 106 | Georgia Sheriffs' Association, April 2026 |
| Latest populated rated capacity | 125 | Georgia Sheriffs' Association, April 2026 |
| Capacity use | 84.8% | Calculated from April 2026 GSA figures |
| Female inmates | 6 of 106 | Georgia Sheriffs' Association, April 2026 |
| Felony category | 68 of 106 | Georgia Sheriffs' Association, April 2026 |
| Sheriff jail renovation bed count | 116 beds | Peach County Sheriff's Office jail-information page |
Peach County Inmate Population Trends
The recent monthly trend is uneven rather than a straight climb. Peach County reported 100 inmates in December 2024, 102 in January 2025, 111 in June 2025, 118 in December 2025, 118 again in January 2026, and 106 in April 2026. The Georgia Sheriffs' Association data therefore shows the jail moving near capacity in early 2026, then falling back below full use in April 2026.
Longer historical data from the Vera Institute's incarceration trends dataset gives more context, but it must be used with care because some fields are missing or odd. For example, the 2022 Peach County pretrial field appears as zero while the sentenced field carries the full total, which likely reflects a reporting gap rather than a true jail makeup. The safest use is to show the raw values, cite the dataset, and avoid treating every field as complete.
| Month or Year | Total Inmates | Rated Capacity | Source Note |
|---|---|---|---|
| Apr 2026 | 106 | 125 | Latest populated GSA value found |
| Mar 2026 | 115 | 125 | GSA monthly report |
| Feb 2026 | 116 | 125 | GSA monthly report |
| Jan 2026 | 118 | 120 | GSA monthly report |
| Dec 2025 | 118 | 125 | GSA monthly report |
| Jan 2025 | 102 | 125 | GSA monthly report |
| Dec 2024 | 100 | 125 | GSA monthly report |
Who Makes Up the Peach County Inmate Population
The April 2026 GSA table gives a limited category snapshot. Female inmates were 6 of 106, or about 5.7 percent. The felony category listed 68 people, the misdemeanor category listed 5, and the other category listed 2. Those category fields do not fully add up to the total inmate count in the captured excerpts, so they should not be treated as a full breakdown of every person held in the Peach County jail population.
- Local custody: Peach County Jail holds pretrial detainees, local sentenced inmates, and people held on Peach County criminal process.
- State custody: Sentenced state prisoners move into Georgia Department of Corrections records and may be assigned outside Peach County.
- Federal custody: BOP and U.S. Marshals custody are separate from the Peach County inmate population count.
- Immigration custody: ICE detention is searched through ICE ODLS, not through the county jail.
Peach County Jail Capacity and Overcrowding
Capacity is one of the places where source wording matters. The Peach County Sheriff's jail-information page says the jail was expanded from an original 64-bed footprint and that a 116-bed renovation was completed in 2011. Recent GSA jail reports list Peach County capacity in the 120 to 125 range, with January 2026 at 120 and most recent populated months at 125. Those two facts can both be true if the Sheriff's page describes the renovation history while monthly reports use the rated or operating capacity for reporting.
No official jail consent decree, federal jail investigation, major jail overcrowding lawsuit, new jail construction announcement, or public death-in-custody report was found in the research. That absence matters. The page should not imply a jail crisis that the source file did not document. Recent data instead shows a small county jail that has run close to capacity in some months and below capacity in April 2026.
The Georgia Sheriffs' Association jail report page is the matched source for the population screenshot below. It is the monthly reporting path used for Peach County jail population and capacity figures.
The screenshot supports the population-data discussion because it shows where the county jail count and rated capacity figures are published.
Laws Governing Peach County Jail Records
Georgia law explains why some jail information can be requested even when Peach County does not publish a live inmate roster. The county open-records process is governed by the Georgia Open Records Act, but Peach County's own open-records page says Sheriff records must go to the Sheriff's Office rather than the County Clerk. For Peach County inmate population questions, that means current custody checks and booking-record requests should start with the jail or Sheriff's records channel.
Key statutes and rules:
O.C.G.A. 50-18-70 et seq. defines Georgia public records broadly, subject to exemptions.
O.C.G.A. 50-18-71 gives the three-business-day response rule and the basic fee framework.
O.C.G.A. 42-4-7 requires the sheriff to keep a record of every person committed to the county jail.
O.C.G.A. 35-1-19 limits law-enforcement posting and certain release uses of booking photographs.
Peach County and State Prison Records
The Georgia Department of Corrections is the statewide agency for sentenced Georgia offenders. No state prison was found physically in Peach County. The GDC location listing for Peach County Jail is a county jail contact entry, not a state prison page. Once a Peach County defendant is sentenced to state prison, the search path moves to the GDC offender query.
The GDC query is useful for active and inactive state offender records, but it is not a live county jail booking list. Georgia.gov's offender lookup guidance says county-jail offenders should be checked through county websites. In Peach County, where no public county roster was located, that practical check becomes the jail phone line, the Sheriff's records route, or a direct records request to the proper custodian.
Search the Peach County Inmate Population
No official online Peach County public inmate roster, daily booking report, inmate inquiry, or mugshot gallery was found on the current Sheriff or county websites during the research pass. That changes the usual search order. A current Peach County inmate lookup starts with the jail by phone, not with an online roster form. If the person has moved out of the jail, the search then branches to GDC, BOP, ICE, or court records depending on the custody type.
Have the full legal name ready before calling. A date of birth, approximate arrest date, arresting agency, or case number can help staff distinguish people with similar names. For a recent arrest, do not start with GDC unless there is reason to think the person has already been sentenced or transferred to state custody.
- Call the Peach County Jail Detention Division at 478-825-3435 or the GDC-listed jail number at 478-825-8269 for current custody.
- If the jail will not release detail by phone, ask what records request process applies for a booking or commitment record.
- For incident or accident reports, use the Sheriff's records route and allow the three working days noted by the Sheriff's report page.
- For sentenced Georgia prisoners, search the GDC offender query rather than the county jail.
- For federal or immigration custody, use BOP or ICE ODLS and understand that U.S. Marshals pretrial custody has no national public locator.
Current Peach County Inmate Lookup
A public search-field table is still useful because it documents what was found and what was not found. Peach County did not have a verified official roster form in the researched sources. The GDC offender query does have a detailed form, but that form covers state offenders and should not be used as proof that someone is currently held in the county jail.
| Field Label | Type | Required | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Peach County online roster | Not located | n/a | No official public jail roster or search form was found. |
| Last Name, First Name | GDC text fields | Optional | Partial matching for state offender records after the GDC disclaimer is accepted. |
| Most Recent Institution | GDC dropdown | Optional | Can include Peach County Jail, but does not replace a current county custody check. |
| Active or Inactive | GDC radio options | Optional | Search active offenders, inactive offenders, or both. |
The GDC offender query is shown in the captured source image below, which matches the state-prison lookup path for sentenced Georgia offenders.
Use this state locator after a sentence or transfer, while the Peach County Jail phone line remains the first check for a fresh local booking.
Past Peach County Inmate Records
Past or released Peach County inmate records are handled differently from current custody. No official release-retention period was found because no public roster was located. Georgia law still requires the sheriff to keep the jail commitment record, including name, age, sex, race, process of commitment, issuing court, charged crime, commitment date, discharge date, discharge order, and issuing court. A records request can ask for an existing booking record, arrest report, incident report, or jail commitment and discharge record.
The Peach County open-records page is useful for the Georgia Open Records Act background, but it says Sheriff records must be requested from the Sheriff's Office. The Sheriff's reports page says incident and accident reports may be obtained at the Sheriff's Office, may be emailed when an email address is provided to the clerk, and should be allowed three working days for completion, checking, and processing.
Peach County Inmate Record Fields
Because Peach County did not publish a public online inmate profile, the known field inventory comes from Georgia's county jail record statute rather than a sample web page. The statute does not promise that each field appears online. It does identify the baseline jail record the sheriff must keep for people committed to the county jail.
| Field | What It Can Show |
|---|---|
| Name, age, sex, and race | Basic identity and demographic fields in the sheriff-maintained jail record. |
| Process of commitment | The legal process or paper that brought the person into jail custody. |
| Issuing court | The court tied to the commitment or discharge order. |
| Charged crime | The offense connected to jail custody, which can differ from later court-filed charges. |
| Commitment and discharge dates | Dates that mark when jail custody began and ended, if the record is complete and releasable. |
| Discharge order | The order or authority for release from the county jail. |
Peach County Jail vs State Prison
The county jail and the state prison system answer different search questions. Peach County Jail covers local custody before trial, people waiting on bond or first court steps, and some local sentenced inmates. GDC covers sentenced state offenders. BOP covers sentenced federal prisoners, and ICE ODLS covers certain immigration detainees. A person can move between these systems as a case develops.
| Custody Type | Where to Look | What It Covers |
|---|---|---|
| Current local jail custody | Peach County Jail phone or in-person check | Fresh arrests, pretrial detainees, bond status, local jail holds |
| Sentenced Georgia custody | Georgia Department of Corrections offender query | Active and inactive state offender records |
| Federal sentenced custody | BOP inmate locator | Federal inmates from 1982 to present |
| Immigration detention | ICE Online Detainee Locator System | Current ICE custody and some recent CBP custody over 48 hours |
Peach County Detention Facilities
The facility map resolves to one detention facility page. Peach County Jail is the local jail operated by the Peach County Sheriff's Office. It is the correct local custody point for Peach County arrests and jail records. No separate city jail, state prison, BOP facility, or ICE detention facility in Peach County was found in official sources.
