The Hall Co Jail is a detention center located at 1700 Barber Rd Gainesville, GA which is operated locally by the Hall County Sheriff's Office and holds inmates awaiting trial or sentencing or both. Most of the sentenced inmates are here for less than two years. Hall County accepts inmates from surrounding towns, Gainesville Police Department, and the US Marshal's Service.

New detainees arrive at the jail regularly, with some being released on bail, placed under pretrial services caseloads, supervised by probation agencies, or released on recognizance with a court appearance agreement. Those who are not released await their court appearances at the jail, receiving accommodations including bedding and meals.

The Hall County Jail, inaugurated in December 2007, stands as a beacon of modernity, boasting cutting-edge technology and an intricately designed layout. With a capacity of 1,026 beds in its main facility, complemented by 148 beds for male and female work release and accommodation for up to 60 inmates under the house arrest program, it stands as a cornerstone of correctional infrastructure. The Jail is next door to the Hall County Correctional Institution, a state work release prison for 240 beds.

Operating under the umbrella of the Hall County Sheriff's Office, the jail division comprises a team of 200 dedicated officers and clerks. Their purview extends beyond mere incarceration, encompassing a spectrum of responsibilities within the Sheriff's Service Division. In addition to custodial duties, this division manages inmate transportation to and from court proceedings and medical appointments with precision and efficiency.

Moreover, the division orchestrates a robust warrant service unit, executing an average of 600 arrest warrants monthly. Leveraging inmate labor, the division assumes the upkeep of all Sheriff's Office facilities, ensuring pristine grounds maintenance.

The Jail's operations are bifurcated into two main sections. The administrative arm oversees training, clerical functions, kitchen operations, transportation logistics, work release, house arrest programs, and warrant management. Meanwhile, the second section is dedicated to the paramount concerns of inmate safety, security, and the day-to-day operations of housing facilities.

The jail offers a phone program for outbound calls only, with inmates unable to receive incoming calls. Accepting collect calls can be expensive, sometimes exceeding $10 per call. Alternatively, setting up an account through a third-party phone company may entail high fees per minute of usage.

It's important to remember that all phone calls are recorded, and discussing sensitive legal matters over these lines is discouraged.

Books and magazines ordered for inmates must come directly from the publisher. This policy ensures that the items are new, untampered, and comply with the facility's regulations. The Jail enforces this rule to prevent the introduction of contraband or prohibited materials. By restricting orders to publishers, the facility can better maintain security and control over the content entering the institution. Any books or magazines not received directly from the publisher will be rejected and not delivered to the inmate. You may, however, send letters and selfies to inmates with this easy-to-use app, packages starting at only $8.00.

Inmate workers are chosen based on conduct and cooperation with staff. Participation in the community service program can sometimes reduce sentences. Commissary is available weekly, with orders submitted via kiosk two days in advance. On holidays, there may be increased spending limits. Upon receiving commissary items, inmates must present their ID, check their order, and sign for it in the presence of the commissary employee. Indigent inmates receive all essential basic hygiene items including USPS stamps and writing materials.
