Miller County Jail Resources

The Georgia Sheriffs' Association Jail Report collects data from jails across Georgia each month. It tracks inmate counts, capacity, and pretrial rates. Miller County data appears when the jail submits numbers for that period. This report puts the local jail in context with the rest of the state.

The Sheriffs' Association also lists contact info for every sheriff in the state. This can be useful if the Miller County government website does not list the jail phone number. For people released on probation or parole, the Georgia Department of Community Supervision takes over once they leave custody.

Note: Not all small jails submit data every month, so the Sheriffs' Association report may not always include Miller County.
