The Long County Sheriff's Office does not operate a jail facility. Historically, the Long County Jail was situated within the Long County Courthouse. However, following a fire in the early 1980s, the jail was never restored. Consequently, inmates from Long County are housed in jails located in neighboring counties Liberty, Tattnall, and Ware. The Sheriffs of these counties have been instrumental in assisting Long County in ensuring the safety and security of the community.

For all matters concerning holds on Long County inmates, it is imperative to coordinate with the Long County Sheriff's Office directly, rather than with the jails where the inmates are housed. This centralized approach helps manage and track inmate holds effectively.

The setting of bonds for inmates is not within the jurisdiction of the Long County Sheriff's Office. Bonds are determined by the Magistrate Court, State Court, or Superior Court. Moreover, the Sheriff's Office is not responsible for notifying individuals of their court dates. Such notifications are issued by the Clerk of Court, who can be contacted at (912) 545-2123. In the event of a change of address, it is the individual's responsibility to inform the court and their bondsman of the new address to ensure they receive all necessary court communications.
