Spalding County Sheriff's Office and Jail
Spalding runs a separate jail line. The main office is 770-467-4282 and the jail is 770-467-4286. If you are asking about someone in custody, the jail line is the one that gets you an answer. The main line during business hours will usually transfer you anyway.
Four things let us start on the first call instead of the second: the full name of the person in the Spalding County jail, confirmation that Griffin 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.
Spalding County courts sit at the Courthouse Annex on East Solomon Street, Griffin.
About 30 minutes west of Jackson on GA-16. If you are already at the jail in Griffin, 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.
