Official Clayton Contacts
For county jail questions, start with the Clayton County Sheriff's Office. Sheriff Levon Allen's office is listed at the Harold R. Banke Justice Center, 9157 Tara Boulevard, Jonesboro, GA 30236. The main sheriff phone is (770) 477-4479 and the fax number is (770) 477-4596. For docket corrections or update concerns, the Classification Section is listed at (770) 477-4441, Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. A jail information phone also appears in public official-context references as (770) 477-4413, but callers should verify that number with the county before treating it as a direct jail desk.
Use the Sheriff's Jail Docket Inquiry for current Clayton County jail roster searches and recent booking-date docket books. For records not shown in the docket, Clayton County provides an open-records request portal. Georgia's Open Records Act, O.C.G.A. 50-18-70 et seq., governs access to many public records held by state and local agencies.
For sentenced state offenders in Clayton County facilities, contact the facility or use the state locator. Clayton County Corrections Department / Clayton County Prison is at 11420 S.L.R. Boulevard, Lovejoy, GA 30250, phone (770) 473-5777. Clayton Transitional Center is at 242 Falcon Drive, Forest Park, GA 30297, phone (404) 675-1500. The statewide Georgia Department of Corrections offender search is separate from the county jail docket.
The lookup path depends on custody type:
- For someone held in the county jail, use jail inmate records and the Sheriff's Jail Docket Inquiry.
- For booking photos and mugshot limits, use jail roster mugshots.
- For charges and cases filed after booking, use court records after a jail arrest.
- For a specific detention site, use the facility pages listed in the footer.
- For a sentenced Georgia prisoner, use the GDC locator rather than the county roster.
- For federal custody, use the Federal Bureau of Prisons inmate locator.
- For immigration detention, use the ICE Online Detainee Locator System.
- For custody notifications, check VINELink when the relevant agency participates.
Clayton County also links the Click Clayton app through app stores, but that app is for service reporting. It should not be treated as an inmate roster or jail docket search tool.
