72 Hour Booking Process in Bibb County

The booking process in Bibb County starts when law enforcement brings an arrested person to the LEC on Oglethorpe Street. Jail staff record the person's name, date of birth, and other details. They take a booking photo and log all charges. The person is then held at the Bibb County Law Enforcement Center until they see a judge or post bond.

Georgia law sets clear time limits for this process. O.C.G.A. § 17-4-26 requires a first appearance before a judge within 72 hours of arrest. For arrests made without a warrant, O.C.G.A. § 17-4-62 requires a probable cause hearing within 48 hours. These deadlines apply to every person booked in Bibb County. The jail must bring inmates before a magistrate on time or they could be released. This is why the 72 hour booking window matters so much for people looking up recent arrests in Bibb County.

After the initial booking in Bibb County, a bond amount may be set. Some charges come with a standard bond schedule that lets the person post right away. More serious charges require a judge to set bond at a hearing. You can check bond amounts on the inmate search tool or call the Bibb County jail booking line at 478-746-9441.

Note: Bond amounts can change after a court hearing, so always check the most current information on the Bibb County inmate search.
