Henry County Inmate Search for Stockbridge
The Henry County Sheriff's Office runs an online inmate search that covers all arrests in Stockbridge and the rest of the county. You can access the roster at henrycountysheriffga.gov/inmate-search/ or use the direct search portal at inmatesearch.co.henry.ga.us. Both tools let you look up current inmates by name and see basic booking information, including charges and bond status. The search is available at any time and does not require an account.
The Henry County Sheriff's Office is located at 120 Henry Pkwy, McDonough, GA 30253. This is where Stockbridge arrestees are taken for booking. McDonough is the county seat, roughly 10 miles south of Stockbridge. All Stockbridge booking reports are stored there, not at Stockbridge Police headquarters. Under O.C.G.A. § 42-4-7, the Sheriff is responsible by law for maintaining these jail records.
The Henry County inmate search portal shown above provides real-time roster data for the county jail. If you are looking for a Stockbridge booking report for someone recently arrested, this is the fastest starting point.
Requesting Stockbridge Booking Records
For booking records not available on the live roster, such as older arrests or records of people who have been released, you can submit a request to the Henry County Sheriff's Office media and public information unit. Send requests to hcsopio@co.henry.ga.us or call (770) 288-7991. The office handles media inquiries and record requests Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.
Georgia's Open Records Act, O.C.G.A. § 50-18-70 et seq., gives you the right to request these records. You do not need to state a reason. The Sheriff's Office must respond within three business days. If they deny the request, they must cite a specific exemption. Most basic Stockbridge booking reports, including name, charges, and booking date, are public records. Exemptions under O.C.G.A. § 50-18-72 apply to things like active investigations.
Note: The Henry County Sheriff's Office has issued a warning that they never contact people to request bond payments via gift cards, cryptocurrency, wire transfer, or mobile apps. If you receive such a call, it is a scam.
What Stockbridge Booking Reports Include
Every person arrested in Stockbridge goes through a booking process at the Henry County jail. The booking record created at that time is a standard document used across Georgia. It captures the intake facts and serves as the official record of the arrest.
A Stockbridge booking report typically contains the full legal name, date of birth, height, weight, race, and other physical identifiers. It shows the charges as they were filed at the time of arrest, the arresting agency, and the exact date and time of booking. Bond information, if set at booking, is also part of the record. The booking photograph, sometimes called a mugshot, is included. This record is different from the court case file, which is kept by the Henry County Superior Court Clerk and documents what happens after the booking.
Booking Photo Rules for Stockbridge Arrests
Georgia law limits how booking photos can be handled. Under O.C.G.A. § 35-1-19, law enforcement agencies cannot charge a fee for releasing a booking photograph unless the requester plans to use it for commercial gain. This statute was enacted to address third-party websites that post mugshots and then demand payment for removal. If you need a Stockbridge booking photo for a non-commercial reason, the Henry County Sheriff's Office should release it at no cost.
If you find a Stockbridge booking photo on a private website that is charging for removal, that site may be violating this Georgia law. A Georgia attorney familiar with O.C.G.A. § 35-1-19 can advise you on your options in that situation.
Stockbridge Police Department
The Stockbridge Police Department handles local law enforcement within the city. Their number is 770-389-6903. Officers make arrests in Stockbridge, but the booking process happens at the Henry County jail. Stockbridge Police do not hold their own inmates. Once an arrest is made, the person is transported to the Henry County facility in McDonough.
If you have questions about a specific incident handled by Stockbridge Police, you can call the department directly. They can confirm details about what occurred, but the booking record for that arrest will be at the Henry County Sheriff's Office. The two agencies work closely together, but each handles a different part of the process.
Inmate Notification and Tracking
VINE is a free notification service that alerts you when someone's custody status changes. Sign up at vinelink.com to receive notifications about people held in the Henry County jail, including Stockbridge arrestees. You can choose to be notified by phone, email, or text. The service covers releases, transfers, and other status changes.
For people moved to state prison after sentencing, the Georgia Department of Corrections maintains a public offender search at services.gdc.ga.gov. A Stockbridge arrest that results in a state sentence will move the person from Henry County to a GDC facility. The GDC database is where you track them after that point. The Georgia Bureau of Investigation's Georgia Crime Information Center also keeps statewide criminal history records accessible to law enforcement and, in some cases, to the public.
Record Restriction After a Stockbridge Arrest
Georgia allows people to restrict access to certain arrest records. Under O.C.G.A. § 35-3-37, a person whose arrest did not result in a conviction may be able to have the record restricted. This is sometimes called expungement. A restricted record does not appear in most public searches. The process goes through the Georgia Bureau of Investigation, and the person must meet eligibility rules set by state law.
The First Offender Act under O.C.G.A. § 42-8-60 offers a separate option for those who qualify. A person who completes all terms of a first offense sentence may have the record treated as if no conviction occurred. The record stays on file but is restricted from public view. If a search for Stockbridge booking reports turns up nothing, the record may have been restricted under one of these statutes. The GBI's Georgia Crime Information Center processes formal restriction requests for the state.
