Search Bryan County Jail Mugshots Online

Bryan County offers two main ways to look up jail mugshots online. The sheriff's own inmate search page lets you search for inmates by name. This tool pulls from the jail's booking system and shows current inmates with their charges and booking info.

The county also uses the Interopweb jail population roster. This system shows all in-custody inmates sorted by booking date. You can search by name and see status, arrest date, charges, bond amount, and how long the person has been in the Bryan County Jail. Results include height, weight, sex, and the arresting agency.

For the most recent arrests, the 24-hour arrests page shows anyone booked into the Bryan County Jail in the last day. This is the quickest way to check if someone was just arrested. Both the official site and the Interopweb roster are free to use with no account needed.

Note: Online records may not update instantly after a booking, so call the jail for real-time custody status.
