Fulton County South Annex Jail Inmate Lookup

Fulton County South Annex Jail Overview

Fulton County South Annex Jail is listed by Fulton County as a jail location at 6500 Watson Street in Union City. The operator is the Fulton County Sheriff's Office, and the facility is part of the Fulton county jail system rather than a state prison, city jail, federal prison, or ICE locator site. The research describes the South Annex as a county jail annex used for Fulton detainees housed outside the Rice Street Main Jail.

The South Annex needs separate treatment because it has some public population detail that the Marietta Annex does not. DOJ identifies it as part of the Fulton jail system and cites 285 beds, with 146 people housed there in mid-August 2024. Those are South Annex-specific figures. Other broad Fulton figures, such as Main Jail beds or total jail-system population, should be used as context only and not labeled as South Annex capacity.

The official Fulton County jail page lists the South Annex phone number and places the facility inside the same sheriff jail information structure used for lookup, phone, video, money, property, and bond guidance.

The source image supports the facility-list and shared-rule context, while the capacity and population figures come from DOJ findings summarized in the research.

Fulton County South Annex Jail Capacity and Population

DOJ findings provide the most specific South Annex statistics in the research. The South Annex has 285 beds, and DOJ reported 146 people housed there in mid-August 2024. That same DOJ population snapshot reported 1,580 people at the Main Jail and 1,822 total in the jail system in mid-August 2024, showing that South Annex is one piece of a larger Fulton custody picture. The South Annex numbers should be read as dated figures, not as a live headcount.

For live custody of a specific person, use the jail roster and phone channels. Fulton facility assignments can change because Rice Street, South Annex, Marietta Annex, Atlanta City Detention Center, out-of-county housing, and court movement can all affect where a person is physically held. A systemwide number cannot confirm whether a particular detainee is at Union City today.

How to Look Up an Inmate at Fulton County South Annex Jail

South Annex lookup still routes through the Fulton sheriff jail records system. Start at the Fulton Sheriff's inmate-search page or the Tyler/Odyssey Fulton County Georgia Inmate Records page. The sheriff page says the database is offered free to the public, updated once per day, and not guaranteed for accuracy or completeness. That warning matters for a person who was booked the same day, recently transferred, or released.

1. Open the Fulton sheriff inmate-search page and continue to the Tyler/Odyssey jail records search.
2. Search by Defendant using last name and first name, or search by Booking Number if available.
3. Use date of birth, middle name, booking date, or release date filters to avoid matching the wrong person.
4. Confirm that the facility location is South Annex Jail before arranging a visit or sending money tied to a facility location.

If the roster does not resolve the question, use the South Annex phone number, the Main Jail number, and the bond information lines. Charge and bond information can be requested at 404-613-2002 or 404-662-3516. Formal record copies route through the Fulton County Open Records Center, where sheriff records requests should choose the Sheriff's Office as the department.

Fulton County South Annex Jail Address and Contact

The South Annex is in Union City, separate from the Rice Street Main Jail in Atlanta. Use the South Annex number for facility-specific questions, but use the county jail charge/bond numbers for bond information after arrest and the Main Jail front desk when the person is still in the intake or first-appearance pipeline.

Visiting Someone at Fulton County South Annex Jail

A facility-specific South Annex visitor schedule was not located in the reviewed public Fulton text. Use Fulton jail visitation rules as the baseline, then verify current South Annex instructions before traveling. Fulton says video and telephone services are through IC Solutions. Remote video visitation is listed at $0.25 per minute, and on-site video visitors should arrive 15 minutes before the appointment. More than 10 minutes late means the visitor will not be allowed to visit.

Fulton bars electronics, mobile phones, tablets, laptops, recording devices, cameras, handbags, purses, and similar items inside the jail. The dress code bans see-through or tight clothing, clothing with holes, shorts above the knee, mini skirts, sleeveless shirts, visible undershirts, offensive graphics, unsafe shoes, and visible undergarments. The safest practice is to call South Annex before traveling and ask how current visitor check-in is being handled.

Mail, Phone, and Money at Fulton County South Annex Jail

South Annex detainees use the Fulton jail system's communication and money channels unless the facility gives a more specific instruction. IC Solutions handles phone and video communication. Money deposits can be made by USPS money order, lobby kiosk, SmartDeposit, or phone deposit at 1-866-394-0490. USPS money orders are mailed to Fulton County Jail, 901 Rice Street NW, Atlanta, GA 30318, with the envelope clearly marked "INMATE ACCOUNTING." Include the inmate's cell location and SO number when required.

Property release follows Fulton jail rules: the inmate must complete and sign a property-release form naming the recipient, and the recipient must present government-issued photo ID. Fulton says property-release requests usually take 48 hours to process.

Booking and Intake at Fulton County South Annex Jail

Fulton's official intake process begins at the Main Jail, where arrestees complete property intake, medical screening, fingerprinting, photographing, and a warrants check. South Annex is a housing facility within that broader county jail system, so a detainee may be processed at Rice Street before later being housed in Union City. First appearance and bond timing still follow Fulton jail and court channels: if the person does not bond out, Fulton says the person routinely appears before a judge within 24 hours, with weekend arrests generally appearing Monday.

About Fulton County South Annex Jail

South Annex is important because Fulton jail population is spread across more than one building. DOJ and Fulton materials also show Fulton detainees housed at ACDC and in other counties at times, so the South Annex should be understood as one location in a changing county custody network. For county jail lookup, use Fulton sheriff/Tyler jail records. For GDC transitional centers or state prisons, use GDC Offender Query. For FCI Atlanta, use BOP and ICE. This route separation is especially important in Fulton because Atlanta contains county, city, state, federal, and immigration detention channels in the same metropolitan area.
