How is bail set and how do I post bond at Georgia State Prison?

What happens during the intake process at Georgia State Prison and when will the inmate appear in the system?
During intake, staff verify identity, review records, assign housing, complete health and security screening, and enter information into correctional systems. Records may take several hours or longer to appear online after intake or transfer, so check the official search tool again if the person is not listed right away.
