Butts County Sheriff's Office and Detention Center
Jackson also contains the Georgia Diagnostic and Classification State Prison on Highway 36. That is a state facility run by the Georgia Department of Corrections, it houses sentenced state inmates, and no bail bond applies there. If someone was arrested in Butts County, they are at the county detention center on Ernest Biles Drive. Searching “Jackson GA jail” will show you the prison first, so check the address before you drive.
Four things let us start on the first call instead of the second: the full name of the person in the Butts County jail, confirmation that Jackson is where they were taken, their booking number, and what they were charged with. If you only have a name, call anyway. We can usually find the rest.
Once the charge is booked, bail is either set from the county's standing bond schedule or by a judge at a hearing. We confirm the amount with the jail, tell you the premium before you pay anything, and post the bond. A Georgia bail bond premium typically runs 10% to 15% of the bond amount and it is a fee, not a deposit. Some bonds also require collateral, which is released once the case ends.
After release, the defendant has to appear at every court date and follow the conditions set by the court and by us. Do that and the bond is exonerated when the case is over, whatever the verdict.
Butts County Superior Court and Magistrate Court sit at 625 West Third Street, Jackson.

Call with the name and the charge. We will confirm the bond amount and tell you the premium before you commit to anything.
