Georgia VINE

The Georgia VINE system is a service through which victims of crime can search for information regarding the custody status of their offender, and to register to receive phone calls and e-mail notifications when the offender’s custody status changes.

This service is provided in Cobb County to assist Victims of Crime who have a right to know about their offender’s custody status. Click this link to register.

Bonding someone out of the Cobb County Jail

If an inmate has bondable charges, he or she can bond out at any time. A bond can be paid with or without a bail bond agent. The method (cash/surety) and amount of money needed for bonding someone out of the Cobb County Jail depends on their charges. Most crimes, but not all crimes, are bondable offenses.

Cash Bond

When you pay a cash bond, it is refunded to you when all court appearances have been made and the case is discharged, dismissed, or a not guilty verdict rendered. If the arrestee fails to appear, the money will be forfeited.

To sign a cash bond, you must bring a photo identification card and enough cash to cover the bond. The sheriff’s office only accepts paper money (no change allowed). The entire amount of the cash bond must be paid before the inmate is released.

All bonds must be accompanied with a State of Georgia Bond fee of $20 that must be paid in cash.

Surety Bond

When you use a Bail Bondsman for a surety bond, you will be required to pay a fee (equal to 15 percent of the bond amount) that will not be refunded.

Cobb County Jail Programs For Inmates

Work Deployment Center

The work deployment center is a separate minimum-security housing unit for work release participants and nonviolent detainees who have been selected to work on supervised county work crews.

The work release participants are sentenced detainees who serve their sentence at the jail while being released during the day to work. To qualify for the work release program, detainees must pass a thorough background investigation and must be gainfully employed and/or enrolled in school or training classes.

Work crews are deployed daily throughout Cobb County to various county departments, which saves the taxpayers over $2 million annually by performing labor that would otherwise be hired.
