This is a private reference site, not a Clay County government office. It cannot confirm custody, release anyone, post bond, schedule a visit, pull official booking records, or change a court record. Those requests must go to the office that keeps the record.
Official Clay County Offices
Use the official office that matches the record or custody question. Clay County's research found a Sheriff/Jail contact for booking, bonding, warrants, photographs, fingerprints, and inmate information on request, but it did not locate a public online jail roster. Court records after an arrest are separate from jail records and may sit with the clerk or court. State, federal, and immigration custody use separate locator systems.

Felony prosecution for Clay County is handled through the Pataula Judicial Circuit. The District Attorney's office is at 12850 Magnolia Street, Blakely, GA 39823, and the phone number is (229) 724-3011. That office may be relevant for prosecution-status questions or record-restriction matters that are not held by the court clerk.
- For someone who may be in local custody, start with jail inmate records and the Clay County Sheriff's Office / Jail phone.
- For booking photographs, review jail roster mugshots and then ask the custodian for any non-exempt photo.
- For charges filed after arrest, use court records after a jail arrest and contact the correct court office.
- For facility details, use the Clay County Jail / Clay County Sheriff's Office page in the Facilities footer list.
- For a sentenced Georgia prisoner, use the Georgia Department of Corrections offender locator.
- For a federal prisoner or immigration detainee, use the BOP inmate locator or ICE detainee locator instead of the Clay County jail phone.
