Fulton County is the most populated county in Georgia. The jail handles a large volume of bookings from Atlanta, Milton, and other cities across the county.

Milton Jail Records and Georgia Law

The Georgia Open Records Act, O.C.G.A. Section 50-18-70, makes most Milton jail roster data public. You can file a records request with the Fulton County Sheriff's Office for booking logs, inmate lists, and related documents. The agency must respond within three business days. The first 15 minutes of search time cost nothing. After that, fees are based on the hourly rate of the lowest-paid employee who can complete the search.

Under O.C.G.A. Section 35-3-37, criminal history records may be restricted after certain time periods. Misdemeanor arrests with no outcome get restricted after two years. Non-violent felonies wait four years. Violent offenses take seven years. Once the GBI restricts a record through the Georgia Crime Information Center, the county jail must remove it from the public roster within 30 days of receiving a written request.

If Milton charges were dismissed or the person was found not guilty, they can also ask for restriction. Restricted records no longer show up on the public jail roster. Only law enforcement and courts can see them. O.C.G.A. Section 50-18-74 puts teeth behind the open records law. Agencies that wrongly deny a valid request face fines of $1,000 for the first violation and $2,500 for each additional violation in 12 months.

Under O.C.G.A. Section 42-8-66, first offender status can lead to record restriction too. People who complete their first offender probation without issues may get their booking removed from the public jail roster. This matters for Milton residents with a single charge who finished their sentence cleanly.
