Floyd County Jail Roster
The local custody search starts with the Floyd County Sheriff's current inmates list. The roster is a sheriff source, not a court docket, and it focuses on people held in the Floyd County Jail at the time the list is checked. It may show pretrial detainees, county-sentenced inmates, state-sentenced inmates held locally, and boarders. It is strongest for current custody questions and weaker for old bookings, sealed cases, and people who have already been released or transferred.
The jail is operated by the Floyd County Sheriff's Office under Sheriff Dave Roberson. The sheriff homepage links to Jail/Detention, Current Inmates, Visitation, Bonding, Commissary, Mailing an Inmate, VINE, Active Warrants, and Open Records Requests. The official Floyd County Sheriff Georgia app, also listed as Floyd Sheriff GA in Google Play, advertises crime reporting, tip submission, interactive features, and public-safety news. The official store text inspected did not advertise an app-only inmate lookup, so the documented inmate lookup remains the public web roster.
The sheriff homepage is one of the assigned inmate-record images from the official Floyd County Sheriff's Office source.
The sheriff site matters because inmate records, jail services, warrants, bonding, mail, commissary, and public-records links are split across related sheriff pages.
Use the Floyd County Roster
The current inmate page has a simple search box labeled "Search Inmate" and a Search button. The public page also showed pagination during inspection, which means a name search can be faster than browsing. Search results should be read with care because names may be abbreviated or displayed in a short format, and the same charge can appear with both an O.C.G.A. code and a plain-language label.
- Open the sheriff's current inmates page and use the Search Inmate box.
- Enter the last name, first name, or a reliable part of the name when the full format is uncertain.
- Review matching roster cards for age, sex, race, arrest date, custody label, charges, warrants, and bond.
- Confirm urgent bond, release, or court-date questions with the jail, bond desk, or court that controls the case.
- If the person is no longer in the county jail, check Georgia Department of Corrections for sentenced state custody.
| Field Label | Type | Required | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Search Inmate | Text/search box | Optional or unspecified | Public current-inmates page shows a single search box with no format rules. |
| Search | Button | Not applicable | Filters the current inmate list. |
| Pagination | Page controls | Not applicable | Public page showed page numbers during inspection, indicating many current entries. |
The current inmate list appears in the manifest from the Floyd County current inmates page.
The current inmate page is best for present custody. Certified court outcomes and old case records must be checked through the courts or clerk.
Floyd County Inmate Fields
The public roster fields are practical but limited. The research inspection saw names displayed as last name plus first initial, age, sex, race, arrest date, custody status labels such as Pre-Trial or Boarder, charges, warrant references, and bond. The list did not expose full date of birth, booking number, booking time, housing pod, magistrate name, release date, or medical or protective information in the text fetch.
| Field | What It Shows |
|---|---|
| Name | Displayed roster name, often last name with first initial. |
| Age, sex, race | Identity fields used to distinguish people with similar names. |
| Arrest date | The listed date tied to the current custody entry. |
| Custody status | Labels such as Pre-Trial or Boarder. |
| Charges | O.C.G.A. codes and charge descriptions, such as giving false name, reckless conduct, cruelty to children, or aggravated assault. |
| Warrants | Probation, felony, or misdemeanor warrant references with warrant numbers and issuing county when shown. |
| Bond | No Bond, No Bond - $0.00, property bond, preset bond, N/A, or another listed bond value. |
Charges in a jail roster are not convictions. They show the booking or custody basis at that point in the process. The court case, prosecutor action, plea, dismissal, trial, or sentence controls the final record. For a fuller case-file view after booking, use the appropriate Floyd County criminal court record channel rather than the jail roster alone.
Floyd County Jail Facility
The Floyd County Jail is the largest building owned by Floyd County Government. The sheriff's Jail/Detention page says the jail is 256,000 square feet, has 776 beds, serves Floyd County, Rome, and Cave Spring, and houses pretrial detainees, county-sentenced inmates, and state-sentenced inmates. In 2020, the jail had an average daily population of 600. The current jail was built in 1982 and renovated in 1996 through SPLOST, and the sheriff page says SPLOST funds continue through a Jail Infrastructure Restoration Project.

County Jail vs State Custody
A person may disappear from the Floyd County inmate roster because of release, transfer, sentencing, or movement to another agency. For people moved into Georgia state custody, use the Georgia Department of Corrections Find an Offender channel. The GDC listing for Floyd County Jail confirms the local facility address, but statewide sentenced-inmate lookup is a different system from the sheriff roster.
The GDC cautions users to verify information through written correspondence with Inmate Records and Information at P.O. Box 1529, Forsyth, Georgia 31029 before treating GDC information as factual and complete. That caution is important when a local booking turns into a state sentence, because the jail roster and state offender system can update on different timelines.
The state location listing is included in the manifest from the Georgia Department of Corrections Floyd County Jail page.
Use the county roster for current jail custody and the state channel for sentenced offenders who have moved beyond local jail control.
Floyd County Inmate Visits
Floyd County uses virtual video visits through iWebVisit. The sheriff page states that the Floyd County Sheriff's Office no longer allows in-person visitation except lawyer visits. All visits must be scheduled one day in advance. Remote visits cost $6 per 15 minutes, and visits can be completed by phone, computer, or tablet. Attorney visits are treated differently because confidential visits apply only to attorneys.
| Topic | Rule or Amount |
|---|---|
| In-person visitation | Not allowed except lawyer visits. |
| Video provider | iWebVisit. |
| Scheduling lead time | All visits must be scheduled one day in advance. |
| Remote visit fee | $6 per 15 minutes. |
| Device options | Phone, computer, or tablet. |
| Facility selection | Select Floyd County Jail under Active Facilities. |
- Go to iWebVisit and create an account.
- Log in and choose Active Facilities.
- Select Floyd County Jail.
- Search for the inmate and follow prompts to schedule a visit.
- For later visits, log in again and follow the same facility and inmate steps.
The visit rules are service rules, not court records. They still matter because family contact often depends on the same current roster search.
Contact Floyd County Inmates
Inmates have access to phones when they are in the common area of their blocks. Detainees can transfer funds from their main account to their phone account for outgoing calls. If a person does not already have an account and an inmate calls for the first time, the recipient receives a free 60-second complimentary call. After that one-time call, the recipient is transferred to a customer-care representative to discuss prepaid phone options through the listed provider channel.
Mail rules are strict. Inmates can send and receive postcards only, except legal mail. The postcard address format is inmate name and ID number, 925B Peachtree Street NE Box 2062, Atlanta, GA 30309. Books must be ordered online from a trusted site such as Amazon or Walmart and shipped directly to the inmate at C/O Floyd County Sheriff's Office, 2526 New Calhoun Highway, Rome, GA 30161. The book limit is two books per month, paperback only, with size and content limits.
The mail-rules image comes from the official Floyd County sheriff mailing page.
Mail and book rules should be checked before sending items because rejected mail can delay family contact and may not reach the inmate.
Floyd County uses JailATM for commissary and funds. Users must create a JailATM account before adding money or ordering commissary, and commissary is delivered every Thursday. Inmates can also send and receive emails through JailATM. Commissary and email services are not the same as a court file or jail roster, but they are common follow-up tasks after a person is located in custody.
Floyd County Bonds
Bond information may appear in the inmate roster, but the roster does not replace the sheriff's bonding rules or the court's bond order. The sheriff's bonding lobby is open 24/7 and closes daily from 12:00 PM to 1:00 PM for lunch. Cash bonds can be paid with cash or money order if the payer has the exact amount plus the required service charge. Property bonds must use qualifying property in Floyd County, in the payer's name, with all owners present when required.
Property bond rules include current taxes, required proof when names have changed, a driver's license or ID card, and the sheriff's listed bond fee. The sheriff page states no quitclaim deeds or security deeds are accepted, while warranty deeds may be accepted. Transfer bonds are possible when property is in another Georgia county, but the person must work with the sheriff's office where the property sits and bring the approved property bond to Floyd.
The sheriff biography image is assigned from the official Meet the Sheriff page.
Bond questions should be checked against the jail or bond desk because roster entries can lag behind a new court order, payment, or hold.
Floyd County Inmate Records Requests
Current custody records start with the sheriff roster. Older booking records, jail incident records, and records not shown online may require an open-records request. Floyd County's NextRequest portal identifies the County Clerk as the official County Records Custodian for Georgia Open Records Act purposes, including O.C.G.A. 50-18-70 et seq. and records management under O.C.G.A. 50-18-99. Court files, sealed cases, juvenile matters, and certified case copies should begin with the court or clerk that controls the case.
Restricted information may be withheld or redacted. The public roster does not show medical data, protective classifications, full date of birth, Social Security numbers, or other protected identifiers. Juvenile records and sealed court records are more restricted than adult public jail listings. Georgia record restriction under O.C.G.A. 35-3-37 can also affect public criminal-history access, but it is not the same as deleting every jail or court reference from all systems.
Note: For Floyd County inmate records, use the sheriff roster for current custody, GDC for state custody, and NextRequest only when no direct sheriff or court channel fits.
