Henry County Jail Annex Overview
Henry County Jail Annex is the second local facility in the HCSO jail operation. The research ties the annex and Restorative Center campus to 505 Hampton Street and 505 Hampton Road in McDonough. HCSO's healthcare RFP treats the jail and annex together as the Henry County Jail system, a midsize urban pre-trial jail holding adult male and female inmates serving two years or less. The annex is used for local jail housing and related HCSO inmate-services operations.
The annex earns a separate facility page because HCSO distinguishes it in several official contexts. The mail rules say outgoing mail must show a return address for Henry County Jail or Henry County Jail Annex. The photo-mail address uses 505 Hampton Road. The 2024 Annual Report notes lighting upgrades at both 120 Henry Parkway and 505 Hampton Street after HCSO found that lighting conditions affected safety for staff, visitors, and law-enforcement partners. Those facts show a separate campus within one sheriff-run jail system.
The HCSO 2024 Annual Report is the source image for the facility-system statistics and improvement notes below.
The annual-report screenshot fits the annex because the report is where HCSO discusses the Hampton Street lighting upgrade and systemwide jail statistics.
Henry County Jail Annex Population
HCSO does not publish a separate annex-only average daily population in the research file. The supported numbers are combined jail-and-annex measures. The 2024 healthcare RFP gives the system a combined capacity of 902 beds, while the HCSO Jail Operations page uses the public wording of 900 detainees between two facilities. The 2024 Annual Report gives a system average daily population of 832. Those figures should be attributed to the joint Henry County Jail and Annex system, not to the annex alone.
The population is local jail custody. That includes pre-trial detainees, county inmates, and state-sentenced detainees serving two years or less within the HCSO system. The research also reports that the jail operation provides medical, dental, and mental-health services, and that about 32% of inmates receive mental-health services daily. The Annex and Restorative Center references make this facility especially tied to program and housing functions, but lookup and service rules remain HCSO-wide.
Henry County Jail Annex Lookup
Use the HCSO New World Inmate Inquiry for a Henry County Jail Annex custody search. The same county portal covers the main jail and annex detainees. It is the correct first search for current local jail custody because it exposes name, subject number, booking number, in-custody filter, booking date range, and housing facility fields. The indexed roster showed the housing option as Henry County Sheriff's Office Jail, so do not expect a separate annex dropdown to prove where a person sleeps.
- Start with the HCSO New World portal and select the in-custody path for current county jail detainees.
- Search by name when no number is known, then narrow by subject number if the result list is broad.
- Use a booking number when the question is about one arrest, one bond transaction, or a recent jail event.
- Read the profile for booking origin, court, charges, bond entries, and housing information.
- Call HCSO Inmate Information at (770) 288-7038 if the online result is missing, unclear, or too recent.
A current Annex detainee should not be searched first through GDC, BOP, or ICE. The Georgia Department of Corrections Offender Search is for sentenced state-prison custody after transfer. The BOP Inmate Locator is for federal custody, and the ICE detainee locator is for immigration custody. VINELink can help with custody notifications where available, but it is not a substitute for the HCSO roster.
Henry County Jail Annex Contact
The research did not find a standalone annex phone number on the official HCSO pages. Use HCSO main and inmate-specific lines for annex-related questions. The annex address is documented through HCSO materials as 505 Hampton Street or 505 Hampton Road in McDonough. For inmate information, the dedicated public line is the most direct contact. For visits, money, phone, mail, medical concerns, and open records, HCSO publishes separate service channels.
Henry County Jail Annex
505 Hampton Street / 505 Hampton Road
McDonough, GA 30253
(770) 288-7100
Inmate Information: (770) 288-7038
Visitation: (770) 288-7083
Annex and inmate information routes through HCSO contact numbers.
For questions about records rather than live custody, use HCSO Open Records. Requests can be made by web form, email, PDF/fax, mail, or in person. A booking record, older custody record, incident report, or legally available booking photo may require that public-records path when it is not present in the roster.
Henry County Jail Annex Visits
HCSO applies the same researched visitation system to the jail and annex unless a different annex-specific rule is posted later. The HCSO visitation page says ICSolutions Advanced Technology manages inmate visitation services, and scheduling routes through JailATM. Both remote video and on-site visitation are available. All visits must be scheduled in advance, and visitors must follow ID, check-in, search, dress, and contraband rules.
| Visit Item | Annex Rule Through HCSO | Detail |
|---|---|---|
| Scheduling | JailATM/ICSolutions | Required before remote or on-site visits |
| Check-in | At least 15 minutes early | Report through HCSO visitation process |
| Identification | Passport or U.S./state photo ID | Juveniles need an accompanying adult |
| Visit length | 30 minutes | One adult visitor at a time |
| Prohibited items | No food, bags, phones, electronics, cameras, weapons, drugs, or alcohol | Search and dress-code rules apply |
The research did not provide a stable day-by-day schedule table for annex visits. Use JailATM/ICSolutions for appointment times, then call HCSO Inmate Visitation at (770) 288-7083 for access, cancellation, or check-in questions. State-prison weekend and holiday visitation rules do not control this annex because it is a county jail annex.
Henry County Jail Annex Mail
Mail rules are one of the clearest places where the annex appears by name. HCSO says outgoing mail must show a return address for Henry County Jail or Henry County Jail Annex and the inmate name. General mail is limited to pre-stamped or metered U.S. Postal Service postcards. Letters are not accepted as ordinary mail. Postcards must be white, within the size limits, and written in blue or black ink. Affixed stamps, stickers, altered cards, stains, paint, perfume, nudity, weapons, and gang references are rejected under HCSO rules.
| Mail Type | Address or Rule | Limit |
|---|---|---|
| General mail | USPS pre-stamped or metered postcards | 3.5 by 4.25 inches minimum; 4.25 by 6 inches maximum |
| Money orders | HCSO ATTN: Inmate Accounts, 120 Henry Parkway, McDonough, GA 30253 | Inmate name and PIN on memo line |
| Photo mail | Envelope marked PICTURES with inmate name, PIN, and 505 Hampton Road, McDonough, GA 30253 | Up to five photos, 4x6 or smaller, no Polaroid |
| Legal mail | Opened in inmate presence and checked for contraband | Not read or censored by staff |
| Books | Softcover only from publisher or bookstore | Three books in possession, including puzzle books |
Money orders should be made payable to the Henry County Sheriff's Office, and HCSO says the inmate name should not be written on the outside of the money-order envelope. Indigent writing supplies are available when an inmate has a zero balance for the required period, and commissary supplies are available for inmates with funds.
Henry County Jail Annex Money
Money, commissary, and phone service follow HCSO inmate-services rules. Deposits use Access Corrections, the iOS or Android app, the lobby kiosk, CashPay Today, or the Access Corrections phone line at 1-866-345-1884. Deposits are blocked when the inmate account balance is $300 or more, and the name may not appear on the kiosk or site until the balance drops below the limit. Remaining account balances are returned by debit card at release or transferred with the inmate.
| Service | Documented Rule | Limit or Contact |
|---|---|---|
| Cash deposit | Access Corrections or approved channels | $300 or less |
| Internet deposit | Access Corrections online | $300 weekly limit |
| Commissary | Twice weekly if no discipline sanction | $50 per store call |
| Order cutoff | Housing-area kiosk order deadline | 8:45 a.m. Mondays and Thursdays |
| Phone | ICSolutions debit, prepaid, or collect | Prepaid setup by phone at (888) 506-8407 |
During intake, each inmate receives a personal passcode or PIN and a facility site ID for phone use. HCSO says calls are recorded and monitored, and use of the telephone system is consent to that monitoring. Prepaid accounts can be created online, by phone, through the jail lobby kiosk, or by mailing cashier's check or money order to ICSolutions customer service.
Henry County Jail Annex Property
Annex detainees are still under HCSO property rules. Clothing and personal property collected at booking go to the Property Clerk. Clothing, shoes, coats, belts, caps, and similar items must be picked up within 15 days by the person named by the inmate at booking. The person collecting property must bring valid picture ID. After 15 days, clothing items are donated or discarded. Phones, keys, wallets, and jewelry remain in property and are returned when the person is released.
Released people have 30 days to return for additional property. Property pickup hours are 8 a.m.-3 p.m., Monday-Friday. These time limits are more specific than many jail pages, so they should be treated as exact local service rules. The property process also affects families trying to help a newly booked person because money brought in at booking is receipted to the inmate account rather than kept as loose cash.
Henry County Jail Annex Programs
The annex is tied to HCSO's broader jail housing, restorative, and inmate-services work. Jail Operations lists the Restorative Center under Operations, along with admissions, release, housing, and jail security. The 2024 Annual Report says the Restorative Program had enrolled more than 1,025 participants since inception in 2023, and the Inmate Success Program accepted 82 participants in 2024. Program examples in the research include Virtuous Women Life Academy, Fatherhood 101, life skills, job readiness, GED work, chaplain services, and Southern Crescent Technical College partnerships.
Medical and mental-health services also apply to the system. The 2024 Annual Report highlights a dedicated mental-health housing unit, Cortech beds, high-risk mattresses, flexible trays, and FirstClass Healthcare coverage. Those facts are not lookup steps, but they are important context for why HCSO describes its jail operation as a two-facility system with custody, treatment, security, and reentry functions.
Henry County Annex Locator Limits
County jail, state prison, federal custody, and immigration custody are separate systems. A person held at the Henry County Jail Annex remains in HCSO custody and should be searched through the county roster. A person sentenced and transferred to state correctional custody should be searched through GDC. A federal prisoner should be searched through BOP. An immigration detainee should be searched through ICE ODLS. The research found no state prison, BOP prison, or ICE detention facility physically located in Henry County official facility lists.
VINELink may be useful for release notices or custody alerts when the person or agency participates, but it does not replace the jail's own roster. HCSO also did not have a documented sheriff's mobile app for roster or warrant lookup in the research. Access Corrections and JailATM/ICSolutions are vendor tools for money and visits, not a sheriff public-safety roster app.
The main jail at 120 Henry Parkway is the sibling facility for this annex. When a record, phone line, or visitor instruction uses the general jail name, it usually refers to the shared Henry County Jail and Annex operation rather than a separate state or federal custody system.
Note: Confirm custody, assigned facility, and visit timing with HCSO before going to Hampton Street or Hampton Road.
