Jones County Sheriff's Office and Jail
The Jones County records office runs 8am to 4pm Monday through Friday, but the jail operates 24 hours. If you call after 4 and cannot reach records, that does not mean nothing can happen until morning. Call us.
Four things let us start on the first call instead of the second: the full name of the person in the Jones County jail, confirmation that Gray 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.
Jones County courts are at the courthouse on West Clinton Street, Gray.
About 45 minutes southeast of Jackson. If you are already at the jail in Gray, tell us and we will meet you there where we can. If you are out of the area entirely, or out of state, the paperwork and payment can be handled over the phone or electronically.
Call with the name and the charge. We will confirm the bond amount and tell you the premium before you commit to anything.
