ROCK SPRING, GA Walker State Prison View

It is operated by the State of Georgia and primarily houses sentenced adult male inmates who have been committed to state custody, rather than people awaiting trial in a county jail.

Local arrests, first appearances, and short-term pretrial detention are generally handled by county jail and court agencies, while this facility houses inmates after sentencing and transfer into the state prison system.
Contact and Location Information
How to Find an Inmate at Walker State Prison
Members of the public can look for an inmate using the official inmate search link available on this page. Inmate rosters and state offender search tools typically list identifying information such as the person’s name, ID number, admission or booking date, offense or charges, facility location, and custody status. For county jail records, a new booking may take several hours to process before it appears online, so records may not show immediately after an arrest. For a state prison, the record may appear after the inmate has been received and entered into the Georgia Department of Corrections system. If the person is not listed, check spelling, try again later, or contact the facility or the appropriate county jail for guidance.

What happens during the intake process at Walker State Prison and when will the inmate appear in the system?
