How to Find an Inmate at Jimmy Autry State Prison
Members of the public can look for an inmate using the official inmate search link available on this page for the facility’s roster or offender listing. Inmate records typically show the person’s name, identification number, booking or admission date, charges or offenses, assigned location, and custody status. New records do not always appear immediately after arrest, sentencing, or transfer because intake and data processing can take several hours or longer. If a person was just arrested in Mitchell County, they may first appear in the county jail system before any state prison record is updated. If the online search does not show the inmate, check again later or contact the facility or the Georgia Department of Corrections for guidance.
