The Stephens Co Jail is a detention center located at 70 N Alexander St Tocca, GA which is operated locally by the Stephens 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. Stephens County accepts inmates from surrounding towns, Tocca 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 Stephens County Jail serves primarily as a pre-trial detention facility for individuals accused of crimes who are unable to post bond and must await their court dates. It also accommodates those sentenced to terms of up to twelve months and temporarily houses individuals convicted of more serious offenses until they can be transferred to state facilities. The Jail Division’s mission is to maintain safety and security for both the community and within the jail while providing a safe, humane, and secure environment for staff and inmates. The division takes pride in the dedication, integrity, and professionalism of its staff, who ensure the efficient operation of the facility. These officers go beyond their usual duties to guarantee that inmates appear for court, serve their sentences, or are prepared for transfer to other facilities. They are also charged with safeguarding inmates' constitutional rights, arranging for adequate housing, meals, and recreation as required by law, and providing reasonable access to visitation, religious services, and various programs.

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. Click here for discounts on inmate calls, especially if the communication with your inmate is frequent. 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.

Inmates are provided access to comprehensive medical, dental, and mental health care through a contract with CorrectHealth, which delivers 24-hour healthcare services. It is crucial to include the full name of the inmate when sending correspondence, as duplicate names are common. For financial matters, U.S. Postal money orders are preferred for depositing funds into an inmate’s account. These are credited immediately for use as bond or for commissary purchases. Other types of money orders are subject to a minimum ten-day waiting period, and personal checks are not accepted. Sending cash through the mail is discouraged due to the risk of loss or theft, and the Sheriff's Office will not be held accountable for any cash lost or stolen in transit.

Due to the risk of contraband, several common items are prohibited from being sent to inmates, including stamps, stationery, writing instruments, items containing glue, oversized greeting cards, credit cards, blank checks, plastic items, jewelry, business-related items, candy, food, Polaroid pictures, and sexually explicit photographs.

Medical care provided to inmates is aligned with professional medical and legal standards, and discussions about inmate medical issues with third parties are restricted under Federal HIPAA law.

Deposits for an inmate’s commissary account must be received by noon on Monday to be available for that week’s store use. Funds deposited after this deadline will not be accessible until the following week, with a maximum of $100 accepted at any time. Money found with an inmate upon booking is automatically placed on the inmate’s commissary account and can only be used for store purchases. Inmates wishing to release funds to a friend or relative must complete a property release form, and the recipient must be listed on the inmate's visitation list. Funds can only be released once per booking and only during designated times: Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday from 8:30 am to 4:30 pm. No releases occur on weekends, Wednesdays, or holidays, and no money transfers between inmate accounts are permitted.

Visitation Information

Visitors, who are on the inmate’s visitation list, are assigned to a visitation booth during that inmate's scheduled visitation time. The inmate is then taken to the visitation area in the jail and assigned to a monitor that is connected to the visitation center. Attorneys will be able to visit their clients from a private booth or will be able to have face-to-face contact in the jail area.

Visitation at the Stewart Detention Center is regulated with specific guidelines to ensure security and order. Inmates are permitted one visiting session per scheduled visitation day. Inmates in disciplinary segregation are restricted to visits only from their attorneys, law enforcement officials, and facility chaplains.

Each visitation session is limited to fifteen minutes and allows for only two visitors at a time. However, a total of up to five individuals may visit during the session on a rotational basis. Children under twelve years of age are not permitted to visit. To find out when your inmate's pod visiting schedule is, click here.

Visitors must complete the registration process at the visitation desk at least ten minutes before the scheduled session. After registration, they are required to remain in the lobby until the inmate's name is called.

All visitors must pass a security screening, with only two attempts allowed to complete it successfully. To facilitate the screening, visitors should leave all personal items in their vehicles; only an ID and one automobile key are permitted. Visitors with criminal records or who have been previously incarcerated may be denied visitation on a case-by-case basis.

Intoxicated individuals are prohibited from visiting and may be subject to arrest. Bringing food, drink, or tobacco products into the visitation area is strictly forbidden. Minors under eighteen must be accompanied by an adult, and visitors aged sixteen and older must present a government-issued photo identification card. Children must be supervised at all times and cannot be left unattended.

Contact visits are not allowed, and passing items to inmates is prohibited, with violations potentially leading to criminal charges. Visitors are also forbidden from standing or loitering near perimeter fences, attempting communication with inmates from the parking lot, or exposing themselves inappropriately to inmates. Such behaviors will result in barring from the premises and suspension or revocation of visitation privileges.

Proper attire is mandatory for all visitors; failure to comply with dress code requirements may result in denied visitation.
