Jail and Records Contacts
For a local Oglethorpe County Jail question, start with the Oglethorpe County Sheriff's Office. The sheriff lists its physical address as 115 Buddy Faust Rd, Crawford, GA 30630. Call (706) 743-8101 and use option 1 for the jail, option 2 for jail medical staff, option 4 for open-records requests and sex offender registry inquiries, or option 5 for incident and accident reports. The jail operates 24 hours each day throughout the year. Administrative and records/front-office help is listed Monday through Friday, 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM.
Written open-records requests may be sent to openrecords@oglethorpesheriff.org. State the full name, date of birth if known, booking or arrest date range, and the specific existing record needed. The GDC county-jail directory separately lists the same jail on Buddy Faust Road with a Lexington, GA 30648 address and phone (706) 769-5665. These are alternate official listings for one facility, not two Oglethorpe County jails.
Use the route that matches the issue:
- For a released person or local release record, the home page gives the full sheriff, court, and records-request path.
- For parole or felony probation after state custody, use Post-Release Supervision. Oglethorpe County is served by the DCS Elberton Field Office at 233 N Oliver Street, Elberton, GA 30635, (706) 213-2032, weekdays 8:00 AM to 4:30 PM.
- For people who may have left the jail today, consult 24-Hour Releases and confirm the event through sheriff records.
- For future timing or an alert, use Release Date Lookup or the VINE Inmate Check. Georgia VINE also lists 1-833-216-6670.
- For the local facility itself, use the Oglethorpe County Jail page listed in the footer.
- For a state-sentenced prisoner, use the Georgia Department of Corrections Find an Offender service. GDC directs written verification to Inmate Records and Information, PO Box 1529, Forsyth, GA 31029.
- For a federal inmate, use the Bureau of Prisons Inmate Locator. Use the ICE detainee locator only when immigration custody is relevant.
