The Lamar County GA Detention Center is a medium-security detention center located at 121 Roberta Dr Barnesville, GA which is operated locally by the Lamar 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. Lamar County accepts inmates from surrounding towns, municipalities, the US Marshal's Service and the Barnesville Police Department who do not have their own long-term lock-up.

The function of the Lamar County Jail is to receive, and process people that are taken into custody by various law enforcement agencies within Lamar County. Once a person has been turned over to the jail, they are either given an opportunity to post a bond and be released pending a court hearing or held until the courts dispose of their case.

Once a person is convicted and sentenced to either county time or state time, they are held until their sentence is served in accordance to law or transferred into a state facility. The jail has a staff of 21 sworn jailers. The jail was built in 1992 and has a total bed capacity of 152 beds. Male inmates that are serving a county or city sentence are used in various departments within the county and city to do community service saving the taxpayers hundreds of dollars.
