Henry County Jail Roster Overview
The official Henry County inmate roster is the New World Inmate Inquiry linked from the Henry County Sheriff's Office inmate-search page. HCSO says the database is offered as a public service for the community and justice-system users. It lets a searcher look for people in custody and review criminal charges and bond information. The in-custody view is a local county jail tool, not a state or federal prison database.
Henry County Jail and Henry County Jail Annex are both part of the HCSO jail operation in McDonough. The roster is the first place to check for pre-trial detainees, county inmates, people serving short local sentences, and people held for Henry County courts. If a person has already moved to the Georgia Department of Corrections after sentencing, the county roster is not the main source. If the person is in federal or immigration custody, use the federal locator or ICE ODLS instead.
The current roster result view captured for research showed public list columns for name, subject number, and a multiple-bookings indicator. A result opens a detail page with booking, court, bond, charge, and agency fields when those fields are present. Some fields may be blank. A missing field does not always mean the event did not happen. It may mean the record has not been posted, the data is withheld, or the person is in a different custody system.
Use Henry County Inmate Roster
Start with a broad search, then narrow the result. The New World system supports name searches, numeric identifiers, date filters, and an in-custody filter. Name alone can be weak because common names, suffixes, and middle names may vary. The subject number is a person-level identifier in the roster system. The booking number is tied to a specific booking event and commonly follows a year-plus-number format.
- Open the HCSO inmate-search entry page or go directly to the New World Inmate Inquiry portal.
- For a current detainee, use the In Custody filter or the current-custody roster view.
- Search by name when no number is known. Results display in last-name order, so last name is often the best first term.
- Use a subject number from an older roster result or court document to reduce false matches.
- Use a booking number when a family member, bondsman, attorney, or jail record gives the current booking event.
- Open the profile and compare booking origin, charges, court, bond, and demographic details before relying on the match.
The current Henry County roster result view shows how the public list is paged and filtered. The roster image below comes from the official New World portal.
That result page is useful for current custody checks, while the detail page is where bond, court, charge, and booking data are reviewed.
Henry County Roster Search Fields
The official roster has several fields that help avoid wrong-person matches. Use more than one field when available, especially when the person has a common name or may have multiple bookings. The housing-facility field was observed with Henry County Sheriff's Office Jail as an option, but the public dropdown did not prove a separate Annex option during research.
| Field Label | Type | Required | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Name | Text | Unspecified | Roster results display names in last, first, middle, and suffix order. |
| Subject Number | Text | Unspecified | Numeric person identifier used by the New World system. |
| Booking Number | Text | Unspecified | Observed format is similar to YYYY-########. |
| In Custody | Checkbox | Optional | Filters to people currently held in the county jail system. |
| Booking From Date | Date | Optional | Useful for recent arrests or released bookings. |
| Booking To Date | Date | Optional | Pairs with the from-date field for a booking window. |
| Housing Facility | Dropdown | Optional | Observed option: Henry County Sheriff's Office Jail. |
The Henry County New World search screen shows the public search fields available before a profile is opened.
Those fields should be treated as search aids, not proof of custody by themselves. The profile and, when needed, the jail information line are the next checks.
Henry County Inmate Profile Fields
A Henry County inmate profile can include demographic information, booking history, bond data, court references, charge details, and arresting-agency fields. The sample profile reviewed in the research showed that some items are not always filled in. For example, gender, race, height, weight, booking date, housing facility, court, or arresting agency may be blank on some indexed text. Treat the profile as a live jail-system extract that may change as staff, courts, or agencies update the booking.
| Field | What It Shows |
|---|---|
| Name | Public identity recorded by the jail system. |
| Subject Number | Person identifier in the New World roster. |
| Booking Number | Identifier for one jail booking event. |
| Booking Date | Date and time admitted, when exposed. |
| Prisoner Type | Custody category such as County, when shown. |
| Housing Facility | Facility assignment, observed as Henry County Sheriff's Office Jail. |
| Booking Origin | Agency or process that originated the booking. |
| Total Bond and Bail | Bond or bail totals shown for the booking. |
| Bond Type | Bond category such as Cash or Cash or Property. |
| Court | Linked court, including Superior, State, or Magistrate where listed. |
| Charge Description | Plain-language offense text on the charge line. |
| Arresting Agency | Agency tied to the charge line, if posted. |
Roster terms: Booking is the jail intake event. A subject number identifies the person. A booking number identifies one booking. A detainer is another agency or court asking the jail to hold or notify.
Henry County Inmate Access Channels
The roster is only one channel. If the online search fails, use the HCSO inmate information phone line at (770) 288-7038 or the main HCSO line at (770) 288-7100. Phone checks matter when a person was just booked, when release status is urgent, or when a public profile has not caught up with intake or release processing. In-person jail questions route through the Sheriff's Office campus at 120 Henry Parkway, McDonough, GA 30253, with administrative counters generally tied to business hours while custody operations run all day.
For records that are not online, use HCSO Open Records. HCSO accepts requests through an online form, email at HCSOOpenRecordsRequest@co.henry.ga.us, PDF/fax, mail, and in person. The office says it has three business days to determine whether responsive records are in its custody and subject to disclosure. Costs can apply. HCSO may require agreement to pay when estimates exceed $25 and prepayment when estimates exceed $500. Letter and legal copies cannot exceed 10 cents per page, and labor uses the lowest-paid qualified employee after the first 15 minutes.
The HCSO open-records page is the local route for older booking records, incident or accident reports, mugshot requests, and jail records not exposed in New World.
Open records is not an emergency custody-confirmation tool. Use the jail information line first when the question is current custody or immediate release status.
Henry County, GDC, BOP, ICE
Different custody systems use different locators. Henry County's roster covers local jail custody. The Georgia Department of Corrections Offender Search covers people currently serving in GDC facilities. Georgia.gov says county-jail inmates should be searched on county websites, which is why a newly arrested person in McDonough, Stockbridge, Hampton, Locust Grove, or unincorporated Henry County should be checked in HCSO New World first.
| Custody Type | Where to Look | Key Limit |
|---|---|---|
| Pre-trial or local jail custody | Henry County New World roster | County jail and Annex detainees, not state prison custody. |
| Sentenced Georgia prison custody | Georgia Department of Corrections locator | Uses state identifiers and may show GDC photos if available. |
| Federal prison custody | BOP Inmate Locator | Mostly federal sentenced or committed custody, not local booking data. |
| Immigration custody | ICE Online Detainee Locator System | Separate from HCSO and GDC; no Henry County ICE facility was found. |
| Victim notification | VINELink | Notification supplement, not a replacement for official agency records. |
No HCSO mobile app with roster or warrant-search functionality was found in the researched sources. Access Corrections has a deposit app for inmate accounts, but that is a vendor money tool, not a sheriff public-safety roster app.
Henry County Jail Facilities
The county detention map has two local HCSO facilities. The main public-facing jail is Henry County Jail. The second is Henry County Jail Annex, tied in HCSO materials to the 505 Hampton Street or 505 Hampton Road campus. HCSO treats the jail and annex together as a two-facility system for detention operations, healthcare, mail, lighting, and inmate-services planning.

Henry County Booking Process
HCSO does not publish a full public booking handbook, but the local records describe the main steps. After arrest by HCSO, Henry County Police Department, Stockbridge Police Department, McDonough, Hampton, Locust Grove, or another agency, the person may be taken to the jail or annex for intake. HCSO Jail Operations lists Admissions, Release, Housing, Restorative Center, and Jail Security under Operations. Booking staff create or update identifiers, enter charges, record booking origin, set bond and bail fields when available, and assign housing.
Medical and mental-health screening are part of jail operations. HCSO says the jail provides medical, mental-health, and dental services, and the 2024 annual report describes a dedicated mental-health housing unit and 24-hour medical and mental-health coverage through FirstClass Healthcare. Property is also handled at intake. Clothing and personal property go to the Property Clerk. Clothing must be picked up within 15 days by the person designated by the inmate, while phones, keys, wallets, and jewelry stay in property until release.
Booking data is not the same as a conviction. Charge text on a Henry County inmate record reflects the booking or court-linked charge line as posted in the jail system. For court filings after arrest, use the Clerk of Superior Court case-management tools and court records after the jail arrest.
Henry County Jail Visitation Rules
HCSO uses ICSolutions Advanced Technology for visitation services, with scheduling through JailATM. Remote video visits and on-site visits are available, but visits must be scheduled in advance. Visitors report to the upstairs lobby, register for visitation, and check in at the Visitation Desk at least 15 minutes before the scheduled time. A valid passport or U.S. or state-issued picture ID is required.
| Visitation Item | Henry County Rule |
|---|---|
| Provider | ICSolutions Advanced Technology, scheduled through JailATM. |
| Visit types | Remote video visitation and on-site visits. |
| Scheduling | All visits must be scheduled in advance. |
| Check-in | Report to the upstairs lobby and check in at least 15 minutes early. |
| Length | Each visit is limited to 30 minutes. |
| Adult limit | Only one adult visitor at a time. |
| Children | Juveniles must be with a parent, guardian, or custodian. |
| Prohibited items | Food, drinks, bags, phones, electronics, cameras, drugs, alcohol, and weapons. |
The HCSO visitation page explains the local ID, check-in, dress-code, search, and contraband rules.
Visitation is tied to current custody and scheduling access, so confirm the inmate is still housed in Henry County before travel or remote scheduling.
Contact Henry County Inmates
Phone service is handled through ICSolutions. During intake, each inmate receives a PIN and uses the facility site ID to place calls. Call types include debit calls paid from the inmate commissary account, prepaid accounts created by family or friends through ICSolutions, and collect calls billed to the receiver. HCSO states that calls are recorded and monitored, and use of the service is consent to that monitoring.
General mail is limited to pre-stamped or metered USPS postcards. HCSO does not accept regular letters as general mail. Legal mail is opened in the inmate's presence and inspected for contraband, not read or censored. Softcover books must come directly from a publisher or bookstore, with a limit of three books including puzzle books. Photo envelopes are treated separately and must meet HCSO size, marking, and content rules.
Note: Confirm current custody before mailing items, setting up calls, sending funds, or scheduling a visit.
Henry County Commissary Funds
Inmate account deposits use Access Corrections, the jail lobby kiosk, CashPay Today cash locations, or phone deposits at 1-866-345-1884. HCSO lists a $300 or less cash-deposit rule and a $300 weekly internet-deposit limit. Deposits are not allowed when the inmate account balance is $300 or more until the balance falls below that level, and the inmate name may not appear on some vendor screens when over the limit.
Commissary is available twice weekly for inmates without disciplinary sanctions. Orders are placed through housing-area kiosks, and the spending limit is $50 per store call. HCSO lists the order cutoff as 8:45 a.m. Mondays and Thursdays. Family and friends may order gift packs through Access Corrections. Indigent inmates without funds for more than 14 days can qualify for a care package with hygiene, writing, and mailing supplies only.
