Decatur County Busted Mugshots is a private reference service, not a government office. It cannot confirm custody, release anyone, post bond, or pull official booking records. The sheriff, jail, courts, corrections department, or federal agency holding the record must answer those questions directly.
Where to Ask for a Record
Choose the office that created or currently controls the information. The following contacts are the documented Decatur County routes. The sheriff's office does not publish a special flat booking-photo fee or a county-specific faster timetable, so ask the records custodian for current instructions and any estimate before work begins.
Decatur County Sheriff's Office
912 Spring Creek Road
Bainbridge, GA 39817
Main: 229-248-3044
Jail: 229-248-3050
Fax: 229-248-3850
Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.
For an open-records request, use the DCSO Open Records page or email ehitchcock@decaturso.com. Jail Administrator Captain Donna Thompson is identified at dthompson@decaturso.com. The jail line is the proper route for a time-sensitive custody or bond question, not this private service.
Decatur County Prison
1153 Airport Road
Bainbridge, GA
229-248-3035
Official prison information
Decatur County Prison is separate from the Decatur County Jail. It holds sentenced state and State Court inmates, so a recent jail admission and a prison or GDC record are not interchangeable.
Decatur County Clerk of Superior Court
Clerk Cecilia Willis
Historic Decatur County Courthouse
112 W. Water Street
Bainbridge, GA 39817
229-248-3025
Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Clerk and court records
Use the route that matches the question:
- For a Decatur County booking entry or county booking photograph, start with the county search and records path, then use DCSO Open Records for an existing record. The official jail search states that public images are not available online.
- For current confinement, a release question, or bond information, use the Decatur County Jail line at 229-248-3050 and verify the answer with jail staff. The official jail page is the source for jail procedures.
- For a wanted notice or a case-linked warrant question, review Wanted Fugitives and then contact the appropriate court or DCSO. Decatur Magistrate Court is listed at 912 Spring Creek Road, Box 3, Bainbridge, with 229-248-3014.
- For a court case, plea, dismissal, sentence, or other disposition, use the Clerk contact above and the Georgia Courts E-Access directory. A jail charge is not a final court result.
- For a sentenced state prisoner, use GDC Find an Offender. Requests for an existing GDC record can go through the department's Open Records Request route.
- For federal custody, use the Bureau of Prisons locator. For qualifying immigration detention, use the ICE Online Detainee Locator. These systems do not replace the county jail search.
- For Bainbridge Public Safety incident records, use the city's public-records portal. Requests for Attapulgus police material begin with that municipality, while current Climax law enforcement is provided by DCSO.
