Upson County Jail Roster
The Upson County Sheriff is Dan Kilgore, and the sheriff's office maintains the local jail and public safety links. The sheriff's About Us page says the facility houses 215 inmates at full capacity. The jail roster is hosted at the official Upson County jail population website and is linked by the sheriff. It offers Current Inmates, 24 Hours Arrests, and Inmates by Arrest Date.
The roster search is useful when the person may be in Upson County custody now or was booked recently. It does not replace a criminal case file, a court disposition, a state prison record, or a federal inmate locator. Court outcomes must be checked with the court. State sentenced custody must be checked through Georgia Department of Corrections. Federal custody must be checked through federal sources.
The Upson County Sheriff's About Us page identifies Sheriff Dan Kilgore and describes the jail facility and capacity.
The sheriff source anchors the local custody record before any reader moves to court or state correctional lookups.
Use the Upson County Roster
The Upson jail population website is the official roster source found in the research. It showed a live public roster with pagination, ten visible records per page, and a name filter. The tabs let a user switch from the current list to recent arrests or arrest-date browsing. Search carefully because a name may be entered in a different order or spelling than expected.
- Open the Upson jail population site and choose Current Inmates, 24 Hours Arrests, or Inmates by Arrest Date.
- Enter a name in the optional inmate-name filter if the list is too broad.
- Review the visible roster card for custody status, arrest date, arresting agency, days in jail, and total bond.
- Read the charge table for warrant number, counts, statute, description, misdemeanor or felony marker, and court.
- Call the sheriff at 706-647-7411 if the roster result and court record do not match.
The roster screenshot source shows why the county custody search is more detailed than a simple name list.
Charge rows on the roster are especially useful for matching jail custody to a warrant or court case.
Upson County Inmate Search Fields
The roster uses a simple search design. The tabs control the population being searched, and the name filter narrows the visible list. The inspected public page showed pagination rather than a complex advanced search. That makes broad name searches easy, but it also means users should check spelling, middle names, and recent booking timing before assuming no record exists.
| Field Label | Type | Required | Options / Format Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Current Inmates | tab/link | optional path | Default current-custody list. |
| 24 Hours Arrests | tab/link | optional path | Recent arrests in the last 24 hours. |
| Inmates by Arrest Date | tab/link | optional path | Browse or search by arrest-date path. |
| Filter By Inmate Name (Optional) | text | no | Filters the roster by inmate name. |
| Search Inmates | button | n/a | Runs the name filter. |
| Pagination | controls | n/a | Research example showed Page 1 of 15 with 150 items. |
Upson County Inmate Profile Fields
Each visible roster card combines booking information with current custody and charge data. The research specifically warns that release date, pod, tank, floor, judicial officer, and medical or protective flags were not visible in the current-inmate rows inspected. Those details should not be inferred from silence. For custody decisions, contact the jail rather than relying on a copied screen.
| Field | What It Shows |
|---|---|
| Mugshot/photo | An image placeholder or booking photo area for each roster entry. |
| Name | Displayed in last, first, middle format. |
| Status | Example value from research: currently booked. |
| Sex, height, weight | Basic physical descriptors shown in roster rows. |
| Address | Public street, city, and state fields shown in the roster. |
| Arrest date and agency | Date plus agency, with examples including Thomaston PD, Upson County SO, and GSP Thomaston. |
| Days in jail | Number of days in custody. |
| Total bond | Examples include not set, denied, and numeric bond values. |
| Charge table | Warrant#, counts, statute, description, misdemeanor/felony marker, and court. |
Upson County Jail Facility
Upson County research found one local sheriff and jail facility for the inmate roster workflow. The jail is separate from the Justice Center where the courts operate. The sheriff phone is the primary contact for inmate-service rules because official pages reviewed did not publish a detailed schedule for visits, mail, commissary, or phone vendors.
Upson County Sheriff / Jail
235 Aviation Drive
Thomaston, GA 30286
706-647-7411
Capacity noted in research: 215 inmates at full capacity.
The Upson sex-offender registry notice is another sheriff-linked public safety channel, separate from the inmate roster.
Sex-offender registry data follows O.C.G.A. 42-1-12 and should not be confused with current jail custody.
Upson County Booking Records
Booking starts after arrest and intake at the jail. The roster may show the arrest date, arresting agency, days in jail, total bond, and charge table. For many criminal cases, Magistrate Court guidance says a first appearance is held before the appropriate magistrate judge within 48 to 72 hours after arrest. Bond can be set there, and the person may later return to Superior Court when scheduled.
Booking data can lag behind court data or show a charge before a prosecutor changes it. A total bond value can be not set, denied, or numeric. A warrant number can help trace the matter to Magistrate Court or another court, but the final case outcome belongs in the court record. If a charge is later dismissed or amended, the jail row may not be the best source for final status.
The roster examples in the research also show why the court field matters. Some charge rows name Superior Court, while others name Probate Court. A person booked into the same jail may have one charge tied to a felony court path, another tied to a traffic or probation matter, and a bond status that applies to the custody record as a whole. Read each row separately before calling a court.
- Bond
- Security set by the court that can allow release while a case remains pending.
- Warrant number
- The number shown on the roster charge row that can help connect custody to the issuing court.
- Disposition
- The final court outcome, which is not proved by a current jail booking row.
State and Federal Inmate Lookups
Georgia.gov says adult offenders currently serving in Georgia Department of Corrections facilities can be searched by name, ID or case number, age, and other identifiers. GDC's own page says its search is for offenders currently in a GDC facility and warns users to verify information through personal written correspondence with Inmate Records and Information at P.O. Box 1529, Forsyth, GA 31029 before relying on it. GDC's inmate concerns line is 404-656-4661.
That statewide fallback is useful after sentencing or transfer, not at the first point of booking. Georgia.gov specifically distinguishes county-jail inmates from state custody and directs county-jail searches back to the county website. If a person is missing from the Upson roster, check spelling, arrest date, release timing, and whether the person may have been moved to another county, state, or federal facility.
The Georgia Department of Corrections offender search is a statewide sentenced-offender source, not the Upson jail roster.
Use GDC only when the person is in state custody or when a county jail search no longer fits the custody stage.
The Federal Bureau of Prisons inmate locator is the separate federal path for people in BOP custody.
Federal inmate search is outside Upson County control and will not show ordinary county jail bookings.
Upson County Jail Visitation
Official Upson County Sheriff pages reviewed during research did not publish a detailed visitation schedule, video visitation vendor, mail rules, commissary vendor, money-deposit vendor, phone provider, tablet provider, attorney-visit schedule, holiday rules, or dress code. That gap should be treated as a live operational issue. Call the jail before visiting, mailing, or sending funds.
| Topic | Official Upson Detail Located | What to Do |
|---|---|---|
| In-person visitation | Not published in reviewed official pages | Call 706-647-7411 before visiting. |
| Video visitation | Not located | Call the jail; do not assume remote visits are available. |
| Mail address/format | Not located | Call for inmate name or booking-number format before mailing. |
| Commissary/money | Not located | Call the jail; avoid sending cash or money orders without current instructions. |
| Attorney visits | Not located | Attorneys should call the jail or court before arrival. |
| Phone calls | Not located | Confirm provider and rates with the jail. |
Because no official day-by-day schedule was located, the safest visitation schedule is a verification schedule. Confirm the rule before each visit attempt, especially when the inmate has just been booked, moved, released, or scheduled for court. Operational rules can change faster than a public roster changes.
| When | Published Hours | Required Action |
|---|---|---|
| Weekday visit attempt | Not published in reviewed official pages | Call 706-647-7411 before going to the jail. |
| Weekend visit attempt | Not published in reviewed official pages | Call before travel; do not assume weekend availability. |
| Attorney visit | Not published in reviewed official pages | Coordinate with the jail or court before arrival. |
| Holiday or court-day visit | Not published in reviewed official pages | Confirm whether movement, court, or staffing affects access. |
Note: No official Upson sheriff or Thomaston police app was located in official or app-store searches during research.
