How to Look Up Inmate Charges and Bond Information for Richmond County Jail

Start with the Richmond County Jail "Inmate Information" page on the Sheriff's site. It's built specifically for looking up detainee criminal charges and bond information. You'll see a prompt that says "CLICK HERE FOR INMATE INFORMATION" to get into the lookup. If you'd rather skip that step, Richmond County also runs a separate county webapp that posts a Richmond County Jail inmate charges listing. It's useful when you just need to scan charges quickly instead of navigating through the Sheriff's inmate information page.

The online inmate information focuses on two things families usually need first: the listed criminal charges and bond information. If bond has been set, you'll see the bond details alongside the charges so you can understand what the jail is reporting at that point in time.

Richmond County includes an explicit disclaimer on the inmate information page: the information is provided for informational purposes only and is not a determination of guilt or innocence. Put simply, an online charge listing shows what someone is accused of, not what a court has decided.

Practical Tips

• ✓ Treat the listing as an accusation, not a conviction. The county states the page is informational only and not a determination of guilt or innocence.
• ✓ Don’t assume the online entry shows the full outcome of the case. It’s a snapshot of what is being reported, not a final court result.
• ✓ If you need confirmation or an update, check official court records or contact the jail for the most current information.
