This is a private reference site, not a government office. We cannot confirm custody, release anyone, post bond, or retrieve an official booking record. Contact the agency that holds the record for those services.


Where to Request Help

For a Webster sheriff booking, release, or open-records request, use the official local office. Sheriff Randy Dely's office publishes the following contact details:

Webster County Sheriff's Office
40 Cemetery Road
Preston, GA 31824
Phone: (229) 828-7503
Fax: (229) 828-8870
Email: sheriff@webstercosheriff.org
Hours: 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
Open Records Request

The best destination depends on the kind of record or status needed:

  • For a released person or local release record, start with the Webster County search and records steps and then request the source document from the sheriff.
  • For community supervision, use the Probation & Parole page and the Georgia DCS office locator.
  • For recent activity, review Jail Releases: 24 Hours, which explains that Webster has no release-only feed.
  • For a possible future date or custody alert, use Projected Release and VINELink Inmate Search.
  • For a particular holding system, choose the correct facility page listed below rather than assuming the Webster sheriff held the person.
  • For a sentenced Georgia prisoner, use the GDC Find an Offender page. Written verification goes to Inmate Records and Information, PO Box 1529, Forsyth, GA 31029.
  • For federal prison custody, use BOP. For immigration custody, use ICE ODLS. Those systems are separate from Webster County and GDC.

Georgia VINE also offers custody status and change notifications at 1-833-216-6670. It is a notification service, not the office that creates the release or court record.

For a Superior Court disposition, sentence, or case document, contact the clerk who serves as custodian of Webster Superior Court records.
