Chattahoochee County Jail Contact
Chattahoochee County Jail is the facility name used by the Georgia Department of Corrections location directory for the local county jail contact in Cusseta. The Chattahoochee County Sheriff's Office, led by Sheriff Hank Lynch, is the operator and local records point. This facility page should not be read like a large active jail page with a public roster, published visitation schedule, and posted commissary vendor. The official research found the opposite: GDC lists the jail contact, while DCA jail population reports repeatedly mark Chattahoochee as "NO JAIL."
The practical answer is to use Chattahoochee County Jail as the local custody-record label, then verify the current physical holding facility before taking action. A person may be connected to a Chattahoochee arrest, sheriff incident report, court case, or jail commitment record while being housed somewhere else. Call first before planning a visit, sending mail, posting bond, or requesting a pickup.
Chattahoochee County Jail Address
The GDC location page and local sheriff records sources use adjacent Broad Street government-center addresses. Use the address that matches the task. The GDC jail listing uses 379 Broad Street for the Chattahoochee County Jail contact. The sheriff open-records page uses 377 Broad Street for records pickup and office contact.

Chattahoochee County Jail Reporting
The most important facility-specific caveat is official population reporting. Georgia DCA / GBI / GCIC county jail reports repeatedly list Chattahoochee as "NO JAIL" with zero local capacity and zero local inmates. The March 2021 Digital Library of Georgia text shows that row, and inspected reports from 2018, 2019, 2020, and 2021 repeat the pattern.
| Source | Facility Finding | How to Use It |
|---|---|---|
| GDC location directory | Lists Chattahoochee County Jail at 379 Broad Street. | Use for official jail contact name and phone. |
| DCA county jail reports | List Chattahoochee as "NO JAIL" with 0 capacity and 0 inmates. | Do not claim a published local jail population. |
| FY2020 local budget | Shows boarding-of-prisoners expense. | Ask whether the person is held outside the county. |
| Sheriff site | Provides contacts, FAQ, open records, and forms. | Use records channels, not a non-existent roster link. |
The DCA jail report screenshot at Digital Library of Georgia county jail report text supports the no-jail reporting statement.
That finding is why the Chattahoochee County Jail lookup path starts with phone and records confirmation.
Look Up Chattahoochee County Jail Inmates
Chattahoochee County Jail does not have an official public roster in the sources inspected. A current inmate lookup therefore begins by confirming whether the sheriff has custody authority, whether the person was released, and whether the person was boarded to another jail. If the person has a state prison sentence, use GDC instead. If the person is federal, immigration, or military custody, the county jail path may not apply.
- Call the Sheriff's Office at (706) 989-3644 during normal business hours.
- Ask whether the person is in Chattahoochee custody, released, transferred, or boarded in another facility.
- Ask whether a booking number, case number, warrant number, or holding-facility name can be provided.
- If records must be requested, use the sheriff open-records form and ask for jail commitment, booking, discharge, and physical-housing records.
- Use GDC, BOP, ICE ODLS, or Fort Moore channels only when the custody type points there.
The broader Chattahoochee County inmate records page lists the same channels with record-field detail.
Chattahoochee Jail Open Records

Visiting Chattahoochee County Jail
No official Chattahoochee County Jail visitation schedule, social-visit rule, video visit vendor, dress code, child-visitor rule, attorney-visit policy, lobby hours, or public jail entry procedure was located. Because official population reports list no local jail capacity, a visitor should not assume the person is available for visits at Broad Street.
| Visit Question | Published Local Answer | Call-First Step |
|---|---|---|
| Is social visitation available? | No local schedule found. | Ask whether the person is physically held at a Chattahoochee-controlled location. |
| Are video visits used? | No vendor found. | Ask the actual holding facility. |
| What ID is required? | No jail visit rule found. | Bring government ID for records business, but confirm visit rules separately. |
| Can attorneys visit? | No local policy found. | Confirm with sheriff or the receiving facility if boarded. |
| Are visits suspended? | No local notice found. | Call before travel every time. |
Note: Confirm custody location before traveling; Chattahoochee records and the physical jail bed may be different.
Mail Money and Phone Access
No official Chattahoochee County Jail inmate mail format, phone vendor, video vendor, commissary vendor, money-deposit service, tablet program, or package rule was located. The practical rule is simple: identify the current physical holding facility before sending anything. If the person was boarded, use the receiving jail's name format, ID number, mail rules, money rules, and phone provider.
| Service | Chattahoochee Source Found | What to Do |
|---|---|---|
| Mail address | No inmate mail format located. | Ask for the physical facility and inmate ID. |
| Phone calls | No vendor located. | Use the actual holding facility's provider. |
| Money deposits | No deposit vendor located. | Do not send money until custody is confirmed. |
| Commissary | No vendor located. | Ask the receiving jail if the person is boarded. |
| State prison services | Separate GDC family pages. | Use GDC rules after a state sentence. |
Booking at Chattahoochee County Jail
No local written booking policy was found. Use the sheriff records process and Georgia law. A local arrest may involve transport, processing, creation of a jail commitment record, first appearance, bond review, and a decision about where the person is physically housed. If the arrest happened on Fort Moore, the county jail may not be the correct path at all.
Georgia's sheriff inmate-record statute provides the record backbone: name, age, sex, race, committing process and court, crime charged, commitment date, discharge date, discharge order, and discharge court. In Chattahoochee, ask for the boarded-facility name as well because official state jail reports show no local capacity.
Bond Court and Chattahoochee Jail
No local bond-posting page or payment method was published. Call the sheriff, court, or actual holding facility to confirm bond type, amount, payment place, and holds before paying a bondsman or posting cash. A court order can change the bond after the jail record is created.
Formal court records are held by the Chattahoochee County Clerk of Court. The Clerk serves Superior, Juvenile, and Magistrate and provides a Case Search link from the official homepage. For filed charges, hearings, and dispositions after an arrest, use the court records after jail arrest page.
Directions to Chattahoochee County Jail
For routing, use 379 Broad Street, Cusseta, GA 31805, the GDC-published jail contact. For records pickup, use 377 Broad Street if the sheriff open-records page directed pickup there. From Columbus, Fort Moore, and the north approach, use the US-27 / US-280 / GA-520 corridor south toward Cusseta. From Buena Vista and Marion County, use US-27 / GA-520 north toward Cusseta.
No official visitor parking, public transit route, or ADA visitor-entry rule was located. The county comprehensive plan notes limited transportation options and the need for public-safety and transportation improvements. Call (706) 989-3644 before travel if the trip is for visitation, bond, release, records pickup, or an accessible entrance.
About Chattahoochee County Jail
Chattahoochee County Jail should be understood as the current official jail contact label, not the historic jail building in Cusseta. Local history identifies an old jail near Mt. Olive and Boyd Streets, built in the early 1900s, used until 1975, and listed on the National Register of Historic Places. That historic site is not the current custody contact and should not be used for inmate lookup, visits, mail, or records requests.
The county's small non-Fort Moore population and its prisoner-boarding budget line help explain why the jail page differs from a standard large-county facility page. The best Chattahoochee County Jail answer is records-first: call, ask where the person is physically housed, use open records for documents, and switch to GDC, BOP, ICE, or military channels when the custody type requires it.
