Finding Someone in Custody in Crisp County
A person kept in custody after an arrest in Crisp County is held at the county jail, run by the Crisp County Sheriff's Office, whichever agency made the arrest.
SearchSystems opened and checked the jail page of the Crisp County Sheriff's Office at crispcountysheriff.com/crisp-county-jail/general-information (page title: General Information | Crisp County Sheriff's Office), phone 229.276.2600, which answered when SearchSystems opened it on September 23, 2026.
That page is the office's jail information page rather than a roster, so a search for a particular person goes through the office at 229.276.2600.
