Camden County Inmate Population Today
The Camden County inmate population is centered at the Camden County Public Safety Complex / Camden County Jail in Woodbine. The facility is operated by the Camden County Sheriff's Office Corrections division, and the public roster labels the housing facility as Camden County Public Safety Complex. It counts people brought in after arrest, municipal arrestees sent from Kingsland or St. Marys, pretrial defendants, local sentenced jail inmates, and people waiting on court action or transfer.
The count changes for plain reasons. New arrests, first appearance, bond decisions, warrants, sentencing, and transfers can all move the number. A person can be in the local jail roster one week and in the Georgia Department of Corrections offender query later if sentenced to state custody. Federal and immigration cases can require BOP, U.S. Marshals, or ICE channels instead of the county jail roster.
Camden County Inmate Population Statistics
The best official figures found for Camden County come from the public New World roster and the Camden County FY 2025 Adopted Budget. The roster count is a point-in-time custody count. The budget's inmate daily average is a fiscal-year performance measure. Those are related, but they are not the same measure. The county did not publish an official rated bed capacity in the reviewed sheriff, county, or GDC sources, so no percent-capacity calculation should be made.
| Measure | Figure | Source / Year |
|---|---|---|
| Current public roster count | 139 current-custody records | Camden current-custody query, inspected June 4, 2026 |
| Inmate daily average | 180 estimated | Camden County FY 2025 Adopted Budget |
| Annual bookings | 3,500 estimated | Camden County FY 2025 Adopted Budget |
| Rated bed capacity | Not located in official sources | Sheriff, county, and GDC official pages reviewed |
| Corrections/Jail budget | $4,529,528 | Camden County FY 2025 Adopted Budget |
The Camden County inmate population also appears in quarterly and budget records that do not function like the public roster. The sheriff's Corrections page links quarterly Georgia Criminal Alien Track and Report Act reports. Those reports may be useful for immigration-related jail reporting, but they do not replace the live roster when the question is whether a named person is in custody today.
Camden County Jail Population Trends
The county budget shows fluctuation rather than a straight rise or fall. The inmate daily average increased from FY 2021 to FY 2022, dropped in FY 2023, then rose in the FY 2024 and FY 2025 estimates. Bookings rose sharply in FY 2023, which can affect jail workload even when the daily population does not move in the same way.
| Fiscal Year | Inmate Daily Average | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| FY 2021 actual | 143 | Budget performance baseline |
| FY 2022 actual | 172 | Increase of 29 from FY 2021 |
| FY 2023 actual | 141 | Lowest daily average in the listed period |
| FY 2024 estimated | 164 | Budget line uses YTD and estimate context |
| FY 2025 estimated | 180 | Highest listed daily average in the table |
| June 4, 2026 roster | 139 | Live public roster count, not annual ADP |
A live roster is useful, but it is a snapshot. A daily average spreads jail use across the year. Camden County's budget also listed intakes or bookings at 2,505 in FY 2021, 2,394 in FY 2022, 3,924 in FY 2023, and an estimated 3,500 for FY 2025.
Camden County Inmate Record Groups
No official aggregate demographic table was located for the Camden County inmate population. The public roster does show individual-level race, gender, height, and weight fields, and the detail view can show date of birth and age. Those fields help identify a record, but they should not be treated as a published county-wide demographic report.
The mapped custody groups are more useful for search. People arrested by sheriff's deputies, Kingsland Police, St. Marys Police, Georgia State Patrol, or another agency may appear once they are booked into the county jail. Sentenced state prisoners from Camden County are searched through GDC. Federal defendants may be in U.S. Marshals custody, and immigration detention must be checked through ICE ODLS when county jail records are not enough.
- Booking
- The jail intake event that creates a booking number and history record.
- Subject Number
- A New World person-level identifier that can connect more than one booking.
- Classification
- A jail risk and housing category based on sex, charge status, violence risk, and other factors.
- Detainer
- A hold or legal claim from another agency that may block release.
Camden County Inmate Access Laws
Georgia public-record law is the starting point for jail records, but it does not make every jail detail public. Initial arrest reports and some booking data may be available, while pending investigations, prosecution records, medical data, security data, and booking photographs can be limited. Camden's roster is especially clear on photos because its footer says photos were removed under O.C.G.A. 50-18-72.
Key Statutes and Rules:
O.C.G.A. 50-18-70 treats agency documents, data, and photographs as public records unless an exemption applies.
O.C.G.A. 50-18-72 lists exemptions, including pending law-enforcement and prosecution records, and points to booking-photo limits.
O.C.G.A. 35-1-18 governs release and use limits for booking photographs.
Georgia Rule 125-2-2 covers building and housing standards for offenders under Board of Corrections jurisdiction.
Search the Camden County Jail Roster
The official roster is the Camden County Sheriff's Office Inmate Inquiry. The sheriff's Corrections page links to it as the Inmate Search Tool. It is a New World Systems roster, and it covers current and historical booking records. The public current-custody query inspected on June 4, 2026 showed 139 in-custody results and paginated the first 100 records.
The Camden sheriff Corrections page is the official web starting point if the direct roster URL changes. The roster uses an IP address and loaded over HTTP during research. The page also has a housing facility dropdown with one public option, Camden County Public Safety Complex.
The current roster results were captured from the official current-custody roster query.
The image shows the result count, pagination, and the public fields a reader should expect before opening an individual inmate detail profile.
- Open the sheriff's inmate inquiry from the Corrections page or the direct New World roster URL.
- Check In Custody when the goal is the current Camden County jail population only.
- Enter a name, subject number, booking number, or booking date range when known.
- Leave Housing Facility blank or choose Camden County Public Safety Complex.
- Click the person's name in the results table to see booking history, bonds, court info, and charges.
Camden County Inmate Search Fields
The roster form accepts broad and narrow searches. A name search is useful when spelling is known. Subject Number and Booking Number are better when copied from a prior record, bond receipt, court file, or older booking. Date fields help when the arrest date is known but the name is common.
| Field Label | Type | Required | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Name | Text | Unspecified | Searches name in a single field. |
| Subject Number | Text | Optional | Person-level numeric identifier. |
| Booking Number | Text | Optional | Format can look like YYYY-########. |
| In Custody | Checkbox | Optional | Title says Currently jailed only. |
| Booking From Date | Date text field | Optional | Uses date-picker fields; no visible format rule was posted. |
| Booking To Date | Date text field | Optional | Pairs with the start date field. |
| Housing Facility | Dropdown | Optional | Blank or Camden County Public Safety Complex. |
What Camden County Inmate Records Show
A Camden County inmate record can show both a search-result row and a detail page. Results include the name, subject number, custody status, scheduled release date if populated, race, gender, height, weight, multiple-booking flag, and housing facility. The detail page can add demographic fields, aliases, booking date, release date, prisoner type, classification, booking origin, bond table, court table, charge table, docket number, disposition, sentence fields, and arresting agency.
Some fields are often blank. The inspected sample showed no photo, a city/state/ZIP address rather than a full street address, and no data in some court fields. That is normal for a booking roster. Formal court status should be checked through the Clerk of Superior Court and the court case record, not treated as final from the jail detail page.
| Record Area | What It Helps Confirm |
|---|---|
| Booking History | Booking number, dates, release status, prisoner type, classification, and booking origin. |
| Booking Bonds | Bond number, bond type, and amount if bond is posted. |
| Court Info | Court dates and court room when public data is available. |
| Booking Charges | Charge description, crime class, offense date, arresting agency, and disposition fields. |
Camden County Custody Fallbacks
When the roster does not show the person, start with timing and custody type. A very recent Kingsland or St. Marys arrest may still be in local police processing or not yet committed to the county jail. A person sentenced to state prison may have left the county roster. A federal defendant may not appear in BOP until after sentencing, and ICE custody uses its own locator.
| Custody Question | Where to Look | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Current county jail custody | Camden New World roster | Local arrest, pretrial, and short-sentence custody. |
| Records not online | Sheriff NextRequest portal | Booking records, incident reports, older records, and mugshot requests. |
| State prison after sentence | GDC Find an Offender | Sentenced Georgia prison custody. |
| Federal custody | BOP Inmate Locator | Federal sentenced inmates and some custody records. |
| Immigration detention | ICE ODLS | ICE civil detention by A-number or biographical data. |
| Release notification | Georgia VINELink | Custody notification where available. |
Camden County Detention Facilities
The facility map has one county jail and two municipal holding or arrest-processing points. The city facilities are not separate public population sites with their own rosters. Once a Kingsland or St. Marys arrestee is committed to the county jail, the Camden County sheriff roster is the practical lookup path.
- Camden County Public Safety Complex / Camden County Jail - the primary county jail for arrestees, pretrial defendants, local sentenced inmates, and transfer holds.
- Kingsland Police Department Holding Facility - a municipal arrest and short-term processing point before release, bond, or transfer to county custody.
- St. Marys Police Department Holding Facility - a municipal arrest source whose bookings can feed into the Camden County Jail record system.
Camden County Jail Services
Bonding transactions take place at the Sheriff's Office Public Safety Complex, according to the sheriff's Bail Bond Companies page. The roster may show bond number, bond type, bond amount, total bond amount, and total bail amount, but a posted amount does not guarantee release. A hold, detainer, no-bond warrant, missing first appearance, or another agency claim can still block release.
The Inmate Services page links commissary, Legacy email, HomeWAV video visitation, and gift packs. Camden's rules include approved visitor lists, up to four approved names, a maximum of three visitors, fifteen-minute visits, dress limits, and a rule that personal items stay in vehicles. Mail is limited to plain white postcards and email, with inmate mail addressed to P.O. Box 699 in Woodbine.
| Service | Camden Detail |
|---|---|
| Deposits | Lobby kiosk and online commissary links; no cash, check, or money order accepted by the facility for deposits. |
| Visit approval | Visitor must be on the inmate's approved visitor list. |
| Plain white postcards and email only; postcards need a return address. | |
| Phone/video | HomeWAV, Legacy, and monitored telephone access are documented in sheriff materials. |
