Sending Money

To send money or support an inmate at Bibb County Main Jail, use the JailPackStore portal where family and friends can create an account and place commissary orders. A word of caution: don't hit your browser's back button or close the window during checkout. Processing can take several minutes, and interrupting it may affect your transaction. Georgia facilities typically offer a mix of deposit options—online transfers through vendors, lobby kiosks, mailed money orders with printable vouchers, or commissary gift-pack services. The exact choices vary by facility. For online or phone deposits, have the inmate's full name or ID ready, along with the state and facility name. This ensures funds post correctly and helps you avoid delays.

Inmate Lookup

The Bibb County LEC inmate lookup may show people awaiting trial—a listing doesn't mean someone has been convicted. The roster updates every half hour, but details can change quickly. If you're not seeing what you expect, check again. Before searching, gather what you can: full or partial legal name, any known aliases, date of birth, and booking or case numbers to narrow results. The facility page also links to other resources—the GBI Sex Offender Registry, State Pardons & Paroles, and the BSO Sex Offenders Register—if you need to expand your search.
