Berrien County Jail Roster
The Berrien County Sheriff's Office links its official inmate information route to OffenderIndex Berrien County. The portal is built around three main tabs: Current Inmates, Bookings Over Last 24 Hours, and Inmates by Booking Date. Current Inmates is the main jail roster view. The 24-hour tab is useful when an arrest just occurred. The booking-date tab is better when a person may no longer be in custody or when the search needs a date range.
The Sheriff's Office is located at 500 County Farm Rd, Nashville, GA 31639. The office phone is 229-686-7071, the jail phone is 229-686-7664, and the jail is open 24 hours. The county sheriff page identifies Ray Paulk as sheriff. The Sheriff's mission page describes a full-service law-enforcement agency operating from the Law Enforcement Justice Center and Adult Detention Center, serving a community of over 20,000 people across 500 square miles.
The OffenderIndex Berrien County portal is the public source for the jail roster and booking-date search route.
The portal is the best first stop for a Berrien County inmate search, but the jail phone remains the confirmation source for current custody status.
Use the Berrien County Roster
The roster has several paths, so choose the tab that fits the search. A broad search can start with Current Inmates and last name. If the arrest may have occurred today or yesterday, use Bookings Over Last 24 Hours. If the person may have been released or booked earlier, use Inmates by Booking Date, select a date range, and decide whether to include previous inmates. The portal warns that including previous inmates may take an extended amount of time.
- Open the official Berrien County inmate portal from the Sheriff's Office link or go directly to OffenderIndex.
- Select Current Inmates for people now in custody, or use the 24-hour bookings tab for new arrests.
- Enter First Name, Last Name, or both. A last-name-only search may catch spelling or nickname issues.
- Use Inmates by Booking Date when the booking date matters, then enter the start and To date fields if known.
- Review the profile tabs and call the jail at 229-686-7664 before relying on bond, visit, or release information.
For cases moving from arrest to court, jail data is only one part of the record. Charges and bond may also appear in Magistrate Court first-appearance records, Superior Court criminal records, or warrant records depending on the stage of the case.
Berrien County Inmate Fields
The inmate portal exposes the field structure shown below. All key search inputs are optional, which lets a user browse current inmates or narrow by name and date. That flexibility helps when the spelling is uncertain, but it also increases false matches. Use the jail phone for identity, release, bond, or visit questions when the result affects a deadline or court appearance.
| Field Label | Type | Required | Options / Format Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Current Inmates | Tab | Optional | Shows current Berrien County inmates. |
| Bookings Over Last 24 Hours | Tab | Optional | Shows recent bookings. |
| Inmates by Booking Date | Tab | Optional | Allows date-range search and prior-inmate option. |
| First Name | Text | Optional | Present under current inmates, 24-hour bookings, and booking-date search. |
| Last Name | Text | Optional | Present under current inmates, 24-hour bookings, and booking-date search. |
| Select Date Range | Date fields | Optional | Start and To date fields are used for booking-date search. |
| Include Previous Inmates In Search | Checkbox | Optional | Portal warning says the search may take an extended amount of time. |
Berrien County Inmate Profiles
A Berrien County inmate profile may show booking and custody details, but the research did not confirm every field that some jail sites use. The accessible snippet showed arrest date and time, days in jail, arresting officer, total bond, charges, sentence, visitation, and history. Mugshot, physical description, booking number, warrant number, court date, and release date were not confirmed from the accessible crawl, so they should not be promised.
| Field | What It Shows |
|---|---|
| Agency image or logo | County or agency branding shown on the public listing. |
| Name | The inmate name in the public roster, with individual names not repeated here. |
| Arrest Date and Time | The date and time observed in the public search snippet. |
| Days In Jail | The custody duration shown in the snippet. |
| Arresting Officer | The officer field observed in the public snippet. |
| Total Bond | The total bond field observed in the public snippet. |
| Charges | A tab or section for charge information. |
| Sentence | A tab or section for sentence information when applicable. |
| Visitation | A tab or section tied to visit details. |
| History | A tab or section for prior or related custody history. |
Note: A roster entry is not the same thing as a final conviction record, and charge status may change after first appearance or later court action.
Berrien County Jail Facility
The research located one Berrien County jail facility tied to the Sheriff's Office: the Adult Detention Center at the Law Enforcement Justice Center. The Sheriff's Office and jail share the 500 County Farm Rd location. The jail is open 24 hours, and the main jail phone is the key contact for inmate questions, video-visitation questions, and current custody status. Office business hours apply to the sheriff's administrative office, but custody operations run around the clock.

The Sheriff's FAQ provides the operational details for reports, commissary, mail, phone accounts, and medical care.
The FAQ is the source for several jail-specific rules that are easy to get wrong, especially mail processing and video visitation.
Berrien County Inmate Visitation
Berrien County visitation details in the research point to video visitation rather than a standard walk-in schedule. A sheriff FAQ result says visitation is strictly video and by appointment only, with appointments made 24 hours in advance. The FAQ also says family and friends may contact NCIC Telecommunications at 1-800-943-2189 for inmate account and video-visitation information. It further says video-visitation questions can be directed to the jail at 686-7664, and the research notes JailFunds for scheduling and questions.
| Topic | Official Detail | Action |
|---|---|---|
| Visit type | Strictly video visitation | Do not assume in-person visits are available. |
| Appointments | By appointment only | Schedule at least 24 hours in advance. |
| Video / phone provider | NCIC Telecommunications, 1-800-943-2189 | Ask about account setup and video visitation. |
| Scheduling URL | www.jailfunds.com | Use for scheduling or visitation questions. |
| Jail confirmation | 229-686-7664 | Call before relying on a scheduled visit. |
JailFunds is the public source tied to Berrien County video visitation scheduling and questions.
The schedule is appointment based, so the most useful date and time information comes after the visitor follows the vendor and jail confirmation steps.
Berrien County Inmate Funds
The Sheriff's FAQ gives two routes for inmate funds. Funds can be added using the ATM in the jail lobby at any time, and the lobby is open 24 hours a day, seven days a week. The FAQ also lists JailATM for online deposits. For phone accounts and video visitation, family and friends may contact NCIC Telecommunications, and inmates can transfer money from commissary account to phone account.
Fees, deposit limits, and account rules were not captured in the official Berrien research. Do not assume a fixed processing fee or daily cap. For a time-sensitive bond, phone, commissary, or visit issue, call the jail before placing money. The jail can also tell a family member whether the correct inmate name is required in a specific format.
JailATM is the online deposit source listed in the sheriff FAQ.
The online deposit route is useful, but the jail lobby ATM remains the researched 24-hour local option for adding funds.
Berrien County Inmate Mail
The mail rule is one of the most specific Berrien County jail details. The Sheriff's FAQ says all inmate mail must be sent to P.O. Box 591, Longview, TX 75606, because of security reasons. The mail must include the inmate's full name. The jail will not accept packages or mail of any kind at the Nashville facility, with no exceptions. That means a letter should not be addressed to 500 County Farm Rd unless the jail changes its instructions.
Important: Send inmate mail to P.O. Box 591, Longview, TX 75606, and include the inmate's full name.
The research did not locate a full dress code, child visitor rule, visit length, tablet program, attorney visitation rule, or holiday schedule. For those details, call the jail at 229-686-7664. If an inmate is sick, the FAQ says the inmate fills out a medical request to see the nurse. The jail has a nurse at the facility or on call 24 hours a day, and a doctor assigned under contract.
County Jail vs State Prison
The Berrien County jail roster is for people held through the county jail. It is not the statewide prison locator. A person may leave the county roster after release, transfer, sentence, or movement to another agency. For people in Georgia Department of Corrections custody, use the state offender search route. The GDC search is separate from county jail intake and from Berrien County court records.
This distinction matters when a family member sees old arrest information but cannot find a current county inmate entry. The person may have bonded out, been released, been moved to another jail, or entered state custody after sentencing. Call the Berrien jail for county custody status and use the state search for sentenced state-prison custody. Court disposition and sentence details may be in the related criminal court file.
Berrien County Jail Reports
The Sheriff's FAQ says incident or accident reports can be picked up during normal business hours, and there is no charge. That report access is separate from the inmate roster, but it may help when a person needs law-enforcement paperwork connected to an arrest or incident. Jail questions can also go to Captain Addison at william.addison@berriencountysheriff.com.
The research checked for a sheriff mobile app and found no Berrien County Sheriff's Office app with inmate lookup, warrant lookup, records request, or crime-map functions. The sheriff site links only to the FEMA app, which is an emergency-alert app rather than a Berrien County jail or warrant tool. The absence of an app means the inmate lookup path remains the public portal, jail phone, and sheriff FAQ.
The sheriff FEMA app page confirms that the linked app is not a county inmate-search app.
That distinction avoids sending users to an emergency-preparedness app when they need jail roster, visit, or custody information.
Berrien County Jail History
The Sheriff's Old Jail history page is not an inmate lookup source, but it gives local context for Berrien County jail records. It describes the 1903 jail, its National Register listing, the last hanging, the 1965 replacement, and the 2004 new jail facility. Current inmate searches should still use the modern Sheriff's Office and jail at 500 County Farm Rd.
The Sheriff's Old Jail history page is the public source for historical jail context.
The historical page helps separate the old jail landmark from the current Adult Detention Center used for custody and roster records.
