The Coffee County GA Jail is a medium-security detention center located at 825 Thompson Dr Douglas, GA which is operated locally by the Coffee County Sheriff's Office and holds inmates awaiting trial or sentencing or both. Most of the sentenced inmates are here for less than two years. Coffee County accepts inmates from surrounding towns, municipalities, the US Marshal's Service and the Douglas Police Department who do not have their own long-term lock-up.

​Upon arrest, the inmate must go through the booking process, which is the same for everyone regardless of the charge. Inmates will be given the opportunity to use the telephone once the booking process is completed to contact their family, attorney, and/or bondsman. The Coffee County Jail is a smoke-free facility, and any tobacco products, lighters, or matches are strictly prohibited inside the Jail.

The Detention Division consists of approximately 67 employees. This includes a Medical Department under the supervision of Coffee Regional Medical Center. The Coffee County Jail also has a contracted food service that provides all meals to inmates. The Coffee County Jail is responsible for housing pre-trial inmates and those that are currently sentenced to the Department of Corrections. We have an average of 275-302 inmates daily. The Sheriff, Jail Administrator, and Detention Staff are responsible for the operation and control of the Jail. All staff are required to act fairly and humanely according to the laws of Georgia in maintaining the safety and security for staff members, civilians, and all inmates.

All Detention Officers are required to successfully complete the required Georgia P.O.S.T. Jail Officer Training upon employment and are required to attend training on an annual basis.
