Lee County Jail Roster Source
The official online source for current Lee County inmate records is the Lee County Sheriff's Office Citizen Connect Inmate Confinements portal. Sheriff Reggie Rachals is the county sheriff named in the research, and the sheriff's county page links Citizen Connect as the place to view bookings, missing persons, reports, maps, and patrol requests. The jail roster uses the term "confinements" for current custody and "admits" for people booked during a selected time span. That makes the Lee County record set more useful than a simple name-only jail search because it supports current custody, recent admits, charge searches, and arresting-agency searches.
Citizen Connect covers the Lee County Criminal Justice Center, not every person with a Lee County connection. The sheriff page states that the CJC holds people charged with offenses and waiting for court, sentenced misdemeanants serving one year or less, and sentenced people waiting for transfer to state or federal custody. Once a person is moved into Georgia Department of Corrections custody, the better source is the GDC offender locator. Federal sentenced custody belongs in the BOP locator, and immigration custody belongs in ICE ODLS.
The Citizen Connect home page is useful when the direct roster link does not load, because it exposes the sheriff's online services menu. Heavy automated access can trigger reCAPTCHA or an access restriction message, so searches should be run like normal public lookups.
Use Lee County Inmate Records
The roster is organized around tabs rather than a first-name and last-name form. Start broad, then narrow. Current Confinements is the best first choice when the question is whether someone is in custody now. Last 24 Hour Admits and Last 7 Days Admits help when the arrest was recent. Date range, charge, and arresting-agency searches work better when the person may have been released or when the spelling of a name is uncertain.
- Open the official Citizen Connect Inmate Confinements page and choose Current Confinements for a live roster view.
- Use Last 24 Hour Admits or Last 7 Days Admits when the arrest may not yet be familiar to family or court staff.
- Switch to Admits by Date Range when the booking date is known. The visible notice says to limit the date range to 31 days or less.
- Use the Charges tab for an offense term, such as DUI, or use Arresting Agency when the arresting department is known.
- Read the booking card for name, photo status, demographic codes, booked row, arresting agency, arrest date/time, bond total, and charge lines.
The roster should be treated as a custody and booking record. A charge on a jail card is not the same thing as a conviction, and a jail card may not show the final charge filed in court. Court status after booking belongs with the Magistrate Court, Superior Court, prosecutor, or clerk records.
Lee County Roster Search Fields
Citizen Connect provides multiple public search paths. The static and session-backed research captured tabs, buttons, date controls, charge text search, and an arresting-agency dropdown. Several listed agencies are local to Lee County, including Lee County, Leesburg, Smithville, Leslie Police Department, Leesburg State Probation Office, and the Southwestern Judicial Circuit. Outside agencies also appear because arrests, holds, transports, probation cases, and warrants can involve more than one department.
| Field Label | Type | Required | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Current Confinements | Tab/button | Optional path | Loads current Lee County jail custody cards. |
| Get Last 24 Hour Admits | Submit button | Optional path | Shows people admitted during the most recent 24-hour period. |
| Get Last 7 Days Admits | Submit button | Optional path | Shows admissions from the last week. |
| Admits by Date Range | Tab | Optional path | Uses start and end date fields in MM/DD/YYYY format. |
| Charge | Text | No | Searches charge text. The public placeholder example is "e.g. DUI." |
| Arresting Agency | Dropdown | No | Includes Lee County, Leesburg, Smithville, GSP, GBI, DOC, probation, and other agencies as displayed. |
The official Inmate Confinements screen shows these roster controls before the result cards load.

Lee County Booking Card Fields
Lee County Citizen Connect returns booking-card entries rather than a traditional one-page profile. The research inspection found a public current-confinement count, card header, mugshot area, demographic line, booking and arrest data, bond total, and a separate charges section. Some items common on other county jail sites were not confirmed here. No housing pod, warrant number, judge, court date, projected release date, or booking number label was confirmed in the captured public card snippet.
| Field | What It Shows |
|---|---|
| Total Inmates | Current public roster count at the top of results. A June 4, 2026 session-backed inspection returned 80. |
| Name | Full name in the booking-card header. |
| Mugshot | Booking photo when available, with a NoMugshot fallback when the photo is missing or unavailable. |
| Demographics | Age in years plus race and sex codes. |
| Booked | Booking row for the confinement event. |
| Arresting Agency | Agency name or code, such as Leesburg agency values captured in the research. |
| Bond Total | Total bond amount shown on the card when public. |
| Charges | Charge count, charge text, charge agency detail when present, and charge-level bond line. |
Bond data on a roster card is a starting point, not a final release promise. Lee County Magistrate Court handles bond hearings and preliminary hearings, while the jail should be contacted about current holds, release processing, and whether a listed bond can actually be posted.
Lee County Jail Contact Records
When the roster does not answer the custody question, use the jail and records channels documented by Lee County. The sheriff records path is important because the county open-records page routes sheriff records, arrest records, and police reports to the Sheriff's Office. The GovQA public records portal identifies Cherrie McAbee, Director of Central Records Division, as the custodian for sheriff public records, and the request categories include public records, media, attorneys, and background checks.
Lee County Criminal Justice Center
119 Pinewood Road
Leesburg, GA 31763
(229) 759-3334
County page office hours: Monday-Friday, 8:00 am-5:00 pm.
For county records not held by the sheriff, Lee County lists Open Records Clerk Kaitlyn Good at the county open-records page. Georgia's Open Records Act requires a response within three business days and allows fees for search, retrieval, copying, redaction, and supervised inspection, with the first 15 minutes free.
Lee County Custody Lookup Differences
Lee County has a county jail and a state prison on the same Pinewood Road corridor, so the location name can mislead searchers. The Criminal Justice Center is the sheriff-run county jail. Lee State Prison is a Georgia Department of Corrections facility for adult male felons sentenced to state custody. County custody and state-prison custody use different locators, rules, phone numbers, and record systems.
| Custody Type | Where to Search | What It Covers |
|---|---|---|
| County jail | Citizen Connect Inmate Confinements | Current confinements, admits, charges, arresting agency, bond lines, and booking cards at the Lee County CJC. |
| Sentenced Georgia prisoner | GDC Offender Query | Active or inactive Georgia DOC records, GDC ID, current institution, conviction county, and photos when available. |
| Federal sentenced inmate | BOP Inmate Locator | Federal inmates from 1982 to present. No BOP facility was found in Lee County, Georgia. |
| Immigration detention | ICE ODLS | Current ICE custody and CBP custody over 48 hours, excluding minors. |
| Custody notification | Georgia VINELink | Statewide VINE notification access, with Lee-specific results to be verified at search time. |
GDC says county jail inmates should be searched at the county level. That distinction matters for anyone moved after sentencing because the sheriff roster can stop being the right source once Georgia DOC takes custody.
Lee County Visitation Records
Official Lee County sources did not publish a jail visitation schedule, video vendor, mail format, commissary vendor, phone vendor, dress code, or package rule during the research pass. The safe path is to confirm rules with the jail before traveling, mailing anything, or sending money. Use the person's full name and, if known, the booking date or arresting agency shown on Citizen Connect.
| Visit or Service | Official Detail Located | Action |
|---|---|---|
| Social in-person visit | No public schedule located | Call the Criminal Justice Center before arrival. |
| Video visitation | No vendor located | Ask the jail whether remote visits are offered. |
| Attorney visit | No public schedule located | Confirm with the jail or the court handling the case. |
| No official address format located | Do not send cash, books, packages, or photos until rules are confirmed. | |
| Money or commissary | No deposit vendor located | Verify custody and accepted deposit methods with the jail. |
Note: Lee County research found a clear roster channel, but family-service rules must be confirmed directly with the jail.
