Tattnall County Jail Overview

Tattnall County Jail is a county jail operated by the Tattnall County Sheriff's Office in Reidsville, Georgia. For Evans County readers, its importance comes from the Evans County/Tattnall County jail agreement filed with the 2024 Service Delivery Strategy. That agreement says Tattnall County has a suitable jail operated by the Tattnall County Sheriff, while Evans County lacks a suitable jail facility for people arrested under Georgia law or Evans County ordinances. The adult jail page for Evans County therefore points to Tattnall County Jail rather than inventing an Evans County Jail.

The agreement calls Evans arrestees housed there "Evans inmates." It covers people arrested within Evans County jurisdiction and gives Evans County access to Tattnall Jail services for detention and housing. Tattnall must provide the same meals, clothing, bedding, hygiene items, and standard jail medical care it provides to other Tattnall inmates. Evans remains responsible for certain outside medical costs, uncovered medication, dental care, outpatient treatment, and procedures that fall outside the Tattnall medical contract. Tattnall also keeps the proceeds from the commissary and phone systems used by Evans inmates.

Tattnall County Jail Capacity and Evans Contract Population

The most current official Evans County population fact is that Evans County has no local jail population inside an Evans-operated jail. The Georgia Sheriffs' Association May 2026 jail report lists Evans as "NO JAIL," and the Evans/Tattnall agreement explains why: Evans County contracts with Tattnall for housing. The contract guarantees detention and housing for up to 20 Evans inmates at any one time. If Tattnall can accept Evans inmates above that guarantee, Evans pays a per diem for the additional jail days.

The agreement lists annual compensation of $378,500.00, payable as $31,541.67 per month, and a $45.00 per jail day rate for Evans inmates above the guaranteed 20. Older jail references describe Tattnall County Jail as a 50-bed facility, but the inspected current jail report did not provide a current populated Tattnall row. Treat any bed count as a call-to-confirm figure, not as a live capacity report.

How to Look Up an Inmate at Tattnall County Jail

No active official Evans County online jail roster was located, and the legacy official Tattnall roster URL returned a 502 error during inspection. Use a fallback chain instead of assuming a web roster is complete. Start with the Evans County Sheriff's Office if the arrest happened in Claxton, Hagan, Bellville, Daisy, or elsewhere in Evans County and you do not know where the person was taken. Then contact Tattnall County Jail if Evans confirms the person was transported or booked there.

1. Call Evans County Sheriff's Office at (912) 739-1611, or use the county public-safety route at (912) 739-1141 option 2.
2. Ask whether the person is still with Evans law enforcement, has been booked into Tattnall County Jail, was released, or was transferred to another agency.
3. If Tattnall is the holding facility, call Tattnall County Jail at (912) 557-6778 with the full legal name, date of birth if known, and arrest date.
4. Ask for custody status, booking date, bond information, court date, hold status, and whether a booking sheet or photograph is available through a Georgia Open Records Act request.
5. If the person has been sentenced to state prison, search the Georgia Department of Corrections Find an Offender page instead of the county jail path.
6. If federal or immigration custody is possible, check the BOP Inmate Locator, ICE Online Detainee Locator System, or VINELink Georgia as separate systems.

The GDC distinction matters. Tattnall County Jail is a local county jail for pretrial detainees, people awaiting bond, short local sentences, and contract Evans inmates. GDC search covers sentenced Georgia prisoners in state custody. A person can leave Tattnall after sentencing and later appear in GDC at a completely different prison.

Tattnall County Jail Address and Contact

The GDC public location page lists a mailing address rather than a visitor-ready entrance. Older public jail listings point to West Brazell Street in Reidsville, but current official sources did not verify lobby hours, visitor parking, or a public counter schedule. Call before driving, especially because Evans County court business remains in Claxton while jail housing is in Tattnall County.

Visiting Someone at Tattnall County Jail

Official current visitation rules for Tattnall County Jail were not located in accessible sources. Do not rely on a general county-jail schedule, a third-party directory, or the Evans County courthouse address. Confirm the visitor entrance, approved visiting days, ID rules, dress code, minor-child rules, and whether visits are in-person or video with the jail before traveling to Reidsville. The agreement proves Evans inmates may be housed there, but it does not publish public visiting hours.

Mail, Phone, and Money at Tattnall County Jail

The Evans/Tattnall agreement confirms that commissary and phone systems exist because it assigns the related proceeds to Tattnall County. It does not name a current vendor, deposit website, phone provider, fee schedule, package policy, or rejected-mail rules. For that reason, money and mail instructions should be verified directly with the jail before funds are sent or letters are mailed.

Booking, Court Transport, and Release Issues

An Evans County arrest can involve several agencies before a court case is visible online. A deputy, Claxton Police officer, Georgia State Patrol trooper, or other law-enforcement officer may make the arrest in Evans County. If the person is not released immediately, the person may be transported to Tattnall County Jail for local detention. Tattnall then handles jail intake functions such as identity entry, property handling, medical screening, classification, and housing.

The court path remains tied to Evans County. The agreement says Evans County is normally responsible for transportation to necessary Evans County court appearances, with limited Tattnall weekday in-state or mental-health-related transport support described in the contract. Bond and first-appearance matters can involve Evans Magistrate Court, which lists bond hearings, first appearances, and arrest warrants among its duties. A person may also be held because of another county warrant, probation or parole hold, state sentence, federal hold, or ICE detainer. Paying one bond may not release the person if another hold exists.

About Tattnall County Jail Records for Evans Arrests

Evans County inmate records are split between the arresting agency, the jail that books or houses the person, and the court that handles the charge. A Tattnall booking record may show arrest-stage charges, bond status, booking date, release status, and other jail identifiers, but those fields are not the same as final Evans County court charges. Formal prosecution decisions are made later by the Atlantic Judicial Circuit District Attorney or another proper prosecutor, and court dispositions come from the court record.

When a record is not online, use Georgia Open Records Act language and ask the agency that created or holds the record for the booking sheet, arrest report, bond information, release date, jail housing confirmation, or booking photograph. Include the person's full name, date of birth if known, arrest date, arresting agency, and case or warrant number if available. Some records can be redacted, delayed, or withheld under a specific exemption.
