Mableton Jail Records Requests
Georgia law makes most jail roster records public. Under O.C.G.A. Section 50-18-70, you can file an open records request with the Cobb County Sheriff's Office for booking data tied to Mableton arrests. The law says the agency must respond within three business days. The first 15 minutes of search time are free. After that, they can charge for the staff time. Copies cost $0.10 per page. Submit your request in writing and be as specific as you can about the records you need.
Not all jail records are open, though. Security plans, medical files, and some internal investigation reports are exempt. Under O.C.G.A. Section 50-18-74, agencies that wrongly deny a valid request can face fines up to $1,000 the first time and $2,500 for repeat violations within 12 months. If you think a request for Mableton jail roster data was wrongly turned down, you can appeal or contact the Georgia Attorney General's office for guidance.
Note: Open records requests for Mableton arrests go to the Cobb County Sheriff, not the city.
State Resources for Mableton Jail Data
If a person arrested in Mableton gets moved to a state prison, the Cobb County jail roster will no longer show them. At that point, the GDC offender search tool is where you check. The Georgia Department of Corrections keeps records on all state inmates. You search by name or offender ID. The tool shows the current facility, charges, and tentative parole dates. It does not cover people still held at the Cobb County jail.
The Georgia Bureau of Investigation runs the Georgia Crime Information Center, which stores criminal history at the state level. Under O.C.G.A. Section 35-3-37, you can check your own criminal history for a fee of up to $15. Misdemeanor arrests with no outcome get restricted after two years. Non-violent felony arrests get restricted after four years. Violent crime records wait seven years. These time limits apply to Mableton arrest records once the GCIC processes the restriction.
The Georgia Sheriffs' Association lists all 159 county sheriffs and can help you find the right office if you are not sure where someone from Mableton was booked.
Mableton Arrest Record Restrictions
Georgia has rules about when old jail records get restricted from public view. This applies to people who show up on the Mableton jail roster but whose case was later dropped or dismissed. Under O.C.G.A. Section 35-3-37, the state GCIC handles record restrictions. Once a restriction is in place, the Cobb County jail has 30 days to restrict its own copy of the record after a written request.
People who complete a sentence under Georgia's First Offender Act per O.C.G.A. Section 42-8-66 will not show up in the state GDC offender search once the terms are done. Their records get sealed at the state level. The local Cobb County jail roster may still show the original booking, though, because county and state systems do not always sync in real time. If you believe your Mableton arrest record should be restricted, send a written request to the GCIC and a copy to the Cobb County Sheriff's Office.
