Where to Look for a Ware County Record
For local jail questions, start with the Ware County Sheriff's Office and Ware County Jail. The sheriff's jail page gives the jail administrator route as Captain Anthony "Tony" Youmans at 912-287-4323 and lists the sheriff's office at 3487 Harris Road, Waycross, GA 31503. The sheriff office phone is 912-287-4326, and the county main line is 912-287-4300. Research located a jail call window of Monday through Friday, 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM, for pre-approved on-site HomeWAV or AmTel arrangements through jail staff.
- For a person held at Ware County Jail, use jail inmate records and the county roster at OffenderIndex.
- For booking-photo context, use jail roster mugshots; the inspected Ware roster configuration did not show public photos.
- For charges after booking, use court records after a jail arrest and the Ware County court system contacts.
- For a facility address or operator, use the Ware County Jail and Ware State Prison pages listed in the footer.
- For a sentenced Georgia prisoner, use the GDC Offender Query.
- For a federal prisoner or immigration detainee, use the BOP Inmate Locator or ICE ODLS.
Ware County also publishes an open-records request page and a direct 2026 open-records request PDF. Georgia open-records requests are governed by O.C.G.A. 50-18-70 et seq.; the Georgia Attorney General FAQ says agencies generally respond within three business days, provide the first 15 minutes of search and retrieval free, and cap regular copies at 25 cents per page.
