Pulaski County Inmate Population
The Pulaski County inmate population is split between two different systems. The official Pulaski sheriff inmate population portal covers current Pulaski County Jail custody, including people booked after arrest, people awaiting bond or first appearance, and local jail holds. The Georgia Department of Corrections Pulaski State Prison page covers a separate state prison in Hawkinsville. That prison houses adult female felons in GDC custody and is not the place to search for a person just arrested in Pulaski County.
The count can move fast. The roster inspected June 4, 2026 showed 24 current jail inmates, while a prior portal snapshot showed 31. Those two figures are best read as point-in-time custody counts, not a fixed capacity or annual total. The state prison number is steadier because it tracks sentenced prisoners assigned to a GDC institution. GDC reported Pulaski State Prison capacity at 1,223, and a March 27, 2025 warden announcement described approximately 1,194 female offenders there.
Pulaski County Inmate Statistics
Official sources give useful Pulaski County inmate population numbers, but they do not publish every measure. Pulaski County Jail capacity and annual bookings were not found on the sheriff page, the GDC county-jail location page, or the local site pages reviewed. The strongest jail number is the live roster count. For prison context, GDC and PREA sources provide capacity, population, and facility makeup for Pulaski State Prison.
| Measure | Figure | Source / Year |
|---|---|---|
| Pulaski County Jail current roster count | 24 current inmates | Official sheriff-linked portal, June 4, 2026 |
| Pulaski County Jail prior dynamic count | 31 current inmates | Prior web-opened portal snapshot, May/June 2026 |
| Pulaski County Jail rated capacity | Not published | Not located in official county or GDC pages |
| Pulaski State Prison capacity | 1,223 | GDC facility page and PREA audit |
| Pulaski State Prison population | Approximately 1,194 | GDC press release, March 27, 2025 |
| Pulaski County population estimate | 10,172 | Census QuickFacts, July 1, 2025 |
Pulaski County Custody Trends
Pulaski County inmate population trends must be read with care because the county jail count comes from a live roster, not a published annual series. The county jail can rise or fall when local arrests, warrants, bond decisions, probation holds, and releases change. The state prison count is better documented over time. A PREA audit tied to a December 2018 site visit listed Pulaski State Prison population at 1,169, while the March 2025 GDC warden announcement said the incoming warden would oversee approximately 1,194 female offenders.
| Date | Population | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Dec. 2018 / Jan. 2018 report | 1,169 | Pulaski State Prison PREA audit population |
| Mar. 27, 2025 | Approximately 1,194 | GDC warden announcement for Pulaski State Prison |
| June 4, 2026 | 24 | Pulaski County Jail current roster count |
| May/June 2026 snapshot | 31 | Prior live roster snapshot, dynamic count |
The prison numbers show a facility operating close to its listed capacity. The county jail figures show a small live population, but they do not prove a trend by themselves. A Q1 2025 jail report PDF is linked from the sheriff page, yet local text extraction was unavailable, so no annual booking or average daily population figure was used from that document.
Pulaski County Inmate Makeup
The jail and prison populations count different groups. Pulaski County Jail holds local detainees, recent arrestees, people awaiting bond or court, and local holds shown on the sheriff roster. Pulaski State Prison holds adult female felons who have been sentenced to GDC custody. The GDC facility page says the prison houses female offenders of all security levels, although the location is listed as medium security.
- County jail custody covers current bookings, 24-hour arrests, bond status, charge rows, and warrant rows in the sheriff-linked portal.
- State prison custody covers sentenced GDC offenders, including people assigned to Pulaski State Prison or any other state facility.
- Federal custody is searched through the BOP inmate locator, not the county roster.
- Immigration detention is searched through ICE ODLS when applicable; no ICE facility was found in Pulaski County.
The public county roster shows sex on each row, but it does not publish a summary by race, age, or ethnicity. It redacts addresses and does not display date of birth, race, housing unit, or projected release date in the inspected rows. Those limits matter because a public roster is a custody lookup tool, not a full demographic report.
Pulaski County Jail Laws
Georgia public-records law is the access framework behind Pulaski County booking records, jail records, and agency-maintained photographs. The sheriff roster makes current custody information public without a login, but that does not mean every related record is posted online. Some records may require a written request, and exemptions can apply to active investigations, prosecution material, juvenile matters, sealed or restricted records, and confidential information.
Key Statutes:
O.C.G.A. § 50-18-70 et seq. - Georgia's Open Records Act covers agency records, including documents, photographs, and computer-generated information unless an exemption applies.
O.C.G.A. § 50-18-71 - agencies generally respond within three business days or give a timetable, cost estimate, and legal basis for withholding.
O.C.G.A. § 35-3-37 - Georgia record restriction rules can limit certain criminal history records for non-criminal-justice uses after eligible outcomes.
Pulaski County State Prison
Pulaski State Prison is a major part of the broader Pulaski County inmate population, but it is not part of the county jail roster. GDC lists the prison at 373 Upper River Road in Hawkinsville, with a capacity of 1,223. The official mission text says it houses female offenders of all security levels, runs a six-month Residential Substance Abuse Treatment program, supports a Correctional Industries garment plant, houses Level II outpatient mental-health offenders, and has a Faith and Character Based Living Unit.
Sentenced state prisoners are searched through the GDC Find an Offender page or the direct GDC offender query form. The GDC locator is a statewide tool. It can list Pulaski State Prison as a most recent institution, but it also covers people sentenced from Pulaski County who are housed elsewhere in Georgia. GDC warns that offender photos, if available, display automatically, and it directs verification questions to Inmate Records and Information in Forsyth.
Search Pulaski County Inmates
The fastest Pulaski County inmate population search starts at the official sheriff-linked portal. The portal has three routes: Current Inmates, 24 Hours Arrests, and Inmates by Arrest Date. Name filters are optional. If the full roster is short enough, browsing can work, but a last-name search is cleaner when the spelling is known. Newly arrested people may not appear instantly while intake is still being completed.
The official sheriff page links to the roster as Inmate Information. The image below comes from that official inmate population portal and shows the current-inmate layout, name filters, tabs, pagination, mugshot slot, charges, and bond fields.
The screenshot reinforces the main point: Pulaski County jail records are displayed as roster rows with charge tables, not as separate long profile pages.
- Open the Pulaski County sheriff inmate population portal.
- Use Current Inmates for people presently booked at the county jail.
- Enter a last name, first name, or both if the list needs narrowing.
- Check 24 Hours Arrests when the arrest is very recent.
- Use Inmates by Arrest Date when timing is known but spelling may vary.
- If no result appears, call Pulaski County Jail at (478) 783-4011.
Pulaski County Roster Fields
The roster search is simple, but the tabs matter. Current Inmates is the default list. The 24 Hours Arrests tab is designed for very recent intake. Inmates by Arrest Date supports timing-based browsing. The portal footer identifies Synergistic Software, Inc. as the vendor, but the access path is still official because it is linked from the sheriff page.

Pulaski County Inmate Records
A Pulaski County inmate record on the public roster is a compact custody card. It shows the person's name, status, sex, height, weight, redacted address, arrest date, arresting agency, days in jail, total bond, and a charge table. The charge table can show warrant number, counts, statute, description, misdemeanor/felony marker, and court. Some court cells may be blank. Some image slots show a placeholder instead of a photo.
| Field | What It Shows |
|---|---|
| Image slot | Booking-photo space or placeholder; a photo is not guaranteed. |
| Status | Custody status, with inspected rows showing CURRENTLY BOOKED. |
| Arrest Date | Date plus arresting agency, often Pulaski County Sheriff's Office. |
| Total Bond | Dollar amount, NOT SET, or DENIED. |
| Warrant# | Warrant or case-like number tied to a charge row. |
| Statute and Description | Georgia code citation and plain charge label when available. |
| Court | Observed labels include Magistrate Court, State Court, and Superior Court. |
Pulaski County Search Fallbacks
A missing name does not prove the person is not in custody. Intake may still be processing. The person may have been released, transferred, booked under another spelling, held by another agency, or moved to GDC after sentencing. Pulaski County Jail can be reached at (478) 783-4011 for custody questions. The sheriff office phone from the Georgia Sheriffs' Association directory is 478-783-1521, and emergency dispatch is a separate 24/7 line.
| Custody Type | Best Search Channel | What It Covers |
|---|---|---|
| County jail | Pulaski sheriff roster | Current jail inmates, 24-hour arrests, arrest-date list. |
| Sentenced state prison | GDC offender query | Active and inactive Georgia offenders. |
| Federal prison | BOP inmate locator | BOP custody and some historical federal records. |
| Immigration detention | ICE ODLS | Adult detainee lookup by A-number or biographical data. |
| Victim notification | Georgia V.I.P. | Custody, location, parole, and release updates for registered victims. |
For records not visible online, use a written Georgia Open Records Act request to the agency likely to maintain the record. For jail booking sheets, mugshots, or jail reports, that is usually the Pulaski County Sheriff's Office or jail. For filed court cases after arrest, contact the court clerk instead of treating the jail as the court record keeper.
Pulaski County Detention Facilities
Two official facilities matter for Pulaski County inmate population research. The county jail is the local arrest and booking facility. Pulaski State Prison is a GDC prison for sentenced adult female felons. No official separate Pulaski County annex, city jail, regional jail, ICE detention center, or BOP facility was located in the official source set.
- Pulaski County Jail - the sheriff-run local jail for current detainees, recent arrestees, bond decisions, warrants, and court-linked charge rows.
- Pulaski State Prison - a Georgia Department of Corrections state prison in Hawkinsville for sentenced adult female felons.
