Liberty County Sheriff's Office

The Liberty County Sheriff's Office runs the county jail and handles all booking records. The office is at 200 S Main St, Hinesville, GA 31313. Call 912-876-2131 for general questions. The sheriff's office is the primary source for jail mugshots and inmate information in Liberty County.

Liberty County has a larger population than many rural Georgia counties due to the military presence at Fort Stewart. The county jail sees a steady flow of bookings from the sheriff's office, the Hinesville Police Department, and other local agencies. Note that arrests on the military installation itself are handled by military police and go through the federal military justice system, not the county jail. Only civilian arrests within Liberty County's jurisdiction get booked at the county facility.

The detention center holds pretrial inmates, people serving county sentences, and those waiting on transfer to state prison. Every booking generates a record with a mugshot, charges, bond details, and personal information. Call the jail for a quick check on current inmates or visit the office during business hours for in-person records requests.

Mugshot Laws in Liberty County

Georgia state law sets the rules for mugshot access in Liberty County. Under O.C.G.A. § 35-1-19, the sheriff's office cannot give booking photos to websites that charge for removal. Before receiving a Liberty County mugshot, you must sign a written statement that the photo will not be posted on a pay-to-remove site. This applies across all of Georgia.

If a mugshot site has your Liberty County booking photo and will not remove it for free, you have recourse. O.C.G.A. § 10-1-393.5 makes charging for mugshot removal an unfair business practice in Georgia. File a complaint with the Georgia Consumer Protection Division if the site ignores your written removal request for more than 30 days.

People whose Liberty County cases were dismissed or who were acquitted can apply for record restriction under O.C.G.A. § 35-3-37. A restricted record means the mugshot and booking data get sealed from public view. You file a petition with the court to start this process. If granted, no public search or open records request will turn up the restricted record. Not every case qualifies, so check with a lawyer about your specific situation.
