Dade County Jail Inmate Lookup

Dade County Jail Overview

Dade County Jail is operated by the Dade County Sheriff's Office at 75 Case Avenue, Trenton, Georgia 30752. The jail's mailing address is P.O. Box 920, Trenton, GA 30752, and the jail email is jail@dadesheriff.com. The detention phone is 706-657-2277, with the Sheriff's Office main phone at 706-657-3233.

The Sheriff's Office is led by Sheriff Ray Cross. Local facility details are supported by the Dade inmate and jail resources page, the sheriff divisions page, and the sheriff about page.

Official jail leadership listed in the research includes Administrator Captain Joseph Chambers, Assistant Jail Administrator Lieutenant Keith Broom, and Administrative Assistant Janice Pope. The Sheriff's Divisions page also says the jail handles inmate services, traffic tickets, civil court paperwork, and the Community Service Work Program.

The same divisions material lists Janice Pope as Terminal Agency Coordinator working with GBI on missing persons, stolen items, warrants, and the sex offender registry. That role is relevant to records users because jail, warrant, and court-service functions can overlap when a person is booked on a warrant or held for another agency.

The Dade Sheriff's Divisions page identifies jail command staff and jail-related functions.

The divisions page supports the local facility details, including jail administration and the sheriff's court-services and records roles.

Dade County Jail Capacity and Population

The Georgia Sheriffs' Association May 2026 Jail Report lists Dade County Jail with 66 inmates and 110 permanent beds, or 60 percent of capacity. The same report lists 10 state-sentenced inmates, 48 awaiting trial, 5 serving county sentence, and 5 other inmates. Older secondary references have listed 116 beds, but the current official report figure is 110 beds.

How to Look Up an Inmate at Dade County Jail

The correct local source is the sheriff's jail resources page, but it did not provide a live public roster during research. Use the fallback chain below for Dade County Jail inmates. If the person has been transferred to state prison, search GDC instead.

For a person who was recently arrested, the jail phone line is the best current-status path. For a person who has bonded out, court calendars or the Clerk may show the next hearing or disposition. For a person sentenced to state prison, the county jail can remain relevant only until transfer to GDC custody.

1. Check the official jail page for any update to the "Current List of Inmates."
2. Call Dade County Jail at 706-657-2277 for current custody, release, or visitation status.
3. Email jail@dadesheriff.com for non-urgent jail questions.
4. Send sheriff open-records requests to Info@dadesheriff.com for booking records or jail reports.
5. Use GDC, BOP, ICE, or VINELink only when the person is outside ordinary Dade County Jail custody.

Dade County Jail Address and Contact

The jail and sheriff's office are in Trenton near other county government offices. The county administrative open-records office is nearby at 71 Case Avenue, Suite 243, but that is not the same as the jail counter.

Visiting Someone at Dade County Jail

The official jail page does not publish a visitation schedule, visitor application, ID rule, dress code, visit length, or video-visit price. It does list NCIC Inmate Communications for inmate phone and video. Call the jail before traveling or scheduling a video visit.

Mail, Phone, and Money at Dade County Jail

Standard inmate mail uses an Atlanta JailATM.com processing address, while legal mail goes to the Dade County Jail P.O. Box. Do not send ordinary inmate mail to the legal-mail address unless the jail instructs you otherwise.

Booking and Intake at Dade County Jail

Official online materials do not publish Dade's intake timeline, property policy, phone-call timing, medical screening process, or classification categories. A Dade Daily Booking Activity Report sample shows booking date and time, booking number, name, address, prisoner type, inmate number, demographics, release date, incarceration reason, release reason, bringing officer, and agency code.

The sample report also shows why release fields need careful reading. Some unreleased entries used 09/09/9999 as a placeholder release date, while another entry had a same-day release on bond. A placeholder date is not a planned release date and should be confirmed through the jail or court record.

About Dade County Jail

The Sheriff's Divisions page lists Reverend Rex Mayo as chaplain and says he works with the Sheriff's Office and Jail to oversee staff and inmate well-being. The sheriff resources page links to community resources such as Celebrate Recovery & Hand Up, Substance Use Prevention Education, and Suicide & Crisis Lifeline, but it does not publish a full in-custody program schedule or eligibility policy.

Recent local context should be handled carefully. The research found immigration quarterly report links under the Jail section and local reporting about a 2025 ICE-related agreement, but no ICE detention facility was mapped inside Dade County. Treat those items as reporting and detainer context, not as proof that Dade County Jail is an ICE detention center.

No official source located during research published a jail construction history, public housing-unit map, accreditation record, medical request policy, grievance process, or visitor parking rules. Those gaps should be confirmed with the jail before relying on any outside directory.
