Floyd County Jail Overview
Floyd County Jail is operated by the Floyd County Sheriff's Office at the sheriff and jail complex in Rome. The jail serves Floyd County, the City of Rome, and Cave Spring. It holds people booked on new arrests, people awaiting trial, county-sentenced inmates, state-sentenced inmates still in local custody, boarders for other agencies, and ICE detainer-related holds when those apply. Sheriff Dave Roberson is identified in county and sheriff sources as the current sheriff.
The sheriff describes the jail as the largest building owned by Floyd County Government. The facility is listed as 256,000 square feet, built in 1982, and renovated in 1996 through SPLOST funding. The sheriff also notes continuing infrastructure work through the Jail Infrastructure Restoration Project. Those details matter because Floyd County Jail is not just a small booking room. It is the county's main detention building and the source tied to the public current-inmates list.
Use this facility page for the jail itself. A person sentenced to the separate Floyd County Prison or Floyd County Work Release Center is searched through the Georgia Department of Corrections, not through the sheriff jail roster. A juvenile at Bob Richards Regional Youth Detention Center is handled through DJJ and juvenile court channels, not through an adult roster.
Floyd County Jail Capacity
The sheriff's jail page lists Floyd County Jail as a 776-bed facility. The Georgia Sheriffs' Association Jail Report for May 2026 lists Floyd's primary jail capacity as 755 for reporting purposes and reports 564 people in jail that month. The same report gives a 74.7 percent occupancy figure. The two capacity figures should be read with their source labels instead of forced into one number.
| Measure | Reported figure | Source |
|---|---|---|
| Facility size | 256,000 square feet | Sheriff jail page |
| Bed count | 776 beds | Sheriff jail page |
| Report capacity | 755 | GSA May 2026 report |
| Jail population | 564 | GSA May 2026 report |
| Awaiting trial | 290 | GSA May 2026 report |
| County sentence | 158 | GSA May 2026 report |
Search Floyd County Jail Inmates
The official jail lookup starts with the sheriff's Current Inmates page or the linked Zuercher public portal. The sheriff page shows a public search box and roster cards. Visible fields in the research included name, age, sex, race, arrest date, status, charges, and bond. It did not expose a full date of birth, housing unit, court date, or release date in the inspected text.
- Open the sheriff current-inmates page or the Zuercher portal linked by the sheriff.
- Search by last name first. If no match appears, try fewer letters, initials, aliases, or alternate spellings.
- Compare the age, sex, race, arrest date, public status, charges, and bond field before assuming a similar name is the right person.
- If the person is not shown, call booking through the jail main line and use extension 8834 for release or custody questions.
- For a sentenced state offender, switch to the GDC locator. For ICE custody, use ICE ODLS or the sheriff-published ICE number.
Note: Roster status can change after bond, release, transfer, court order, or a hold from another agency.
Floyd County Jail Contact
The jail and sheriff's office share the same public address and main number. The sheriff contact page lists the public email, operator extension, booking extension, and administration extension. For a live custody question, the booking extension is the most specific channel named in the research. For an old booking record, incident record, or booking photograph request, the Floyd County open-records portal is the better path.

Floyd County Jail Visits
Floyd County Jail public visitation is handled through iWebVisit remote video visits. The sheriff says the office no longer allows in-person public visitation, except for lawyer visits. Visits must be scheduled one day in advance, and the published remote fee is $6 for 15 minutes. Phone, computer, or tablet access may be used for remote visits.
The sheriff's visitation source shows a clear workflow: create an iWebVisit account, log in, select Active Facilities, choose Floyd County Jail, search for the inmate, and follow the prompts. Because the source says family in-person visits are not allowed, do not go to the jail expecting a normal public lobby visit. Attorney visits are the stated exception.
The sheriff visitation page below is the source for the current virtual visit rule.

| Access | Floyd County Jail rule | Detail |
|---|---|---|
| Public family visits | Remote video | Schedule through iWebVisit one day ahead |
| In-person public visits | Not allowed | Lawyer visits are the exception stated by sheriff |
| Remote cost | $6 per 15 minutes | Published by sheriff visitation page |
| Phone service | ICSolutions | Detainees may call when in common areas of blocks |
Floyd County Jail Money
Floyd County Jail commissary and funds use JailATM. The sheriff page says an account is required before adding funds or ordering commissary. Commissary delivery is listed for Thursdays. JailATM also supports email for inmates. The official text did not locate a complete public transaction fee schedule, so fee claims should be checked with JailATM before payment.
General nonlegal mail is postcard-only. Postcards go to the Atlanta mail processor, not the jail's street address. Books are different: they must ship direct from an online trusted seller such as Amazon or Walmart to the jail in Rome. The sheriff's rules allow up to two books per month, two books kept at a time, paperback format, standard dimensions, and no content that threatens jail safety.
| Service | Provider or address |
|---|---|
| Commissary and funds | JailATM account required; Thursday commissary delivery |
| Phone calls | ICSolutions prepaid phone service |
| Postcard mail | Inmate name and ID, 925B Peachtree Street NE Box 2062, Atlanta, GA 30309 |
| Books | Direct ship to C/O Floyd County Sheriff's Office, 2526 New Calhoun Hwy, Rome, GA 30161 |
Floyd County Jail Bonding
The Floyd County Sheriff's Office bonding page says the bonding lobby is open around the clock except for the daily noon to 1 p.m. lunch closure. Cash or money-order bonds require the exact amount and a $20 service charge. Property bonds have strict county, title, tax, owner-presence, ID, and deed rules. Transfer bonds may be used when Georgia property is outside Floyd County.
A roster bond field does not always mean release is ready. A no-bond order, probation hold, bench warrant, hold for another county, boarder status, transfer, ICE detainer, or GPS-monitor condition can affect release. The sheriff lists approved bonding companies and also explains that ankle monitors ordered as pretrial bond conditions are installed by approved third parties before release.
The sheriff's bonding source is shown here for the local lobby and GPS-monitor rules.
Floyd County bonding and ankle-monitor information lists the lobby hours, local bond types, approved bondsmen, transfer-bond rules, and GPS-monitor steps.
The image is tied to the jail's local bonding process, not to the state prison or juvenile facility.
Floyd County Jail Records
Floyd County Jail records begin at booking, but the sheriff roster is only one channel. The public roster is useful for current custody, charges, status, and bond. It is not the same as a court docket, a GDC sentence record, or a federal custody search. If the person has moved from the jail to Floyd County Prison, the Floyd County Prison page explains the GDC search path. For broader jail roster field details, the Floyd County jail inmate records page covers the current-inmates list in more depth.
Note: Confirm custody, bond, and visitation rules with the jail before travel or payment.
