Cobb County Detention Annex Overview
The Cobb County Sheriff's Office identifies the Annex as part of the Detention Facilities Division. The same division includes the Jail and Work Deployment Facility. That wording is important because it supports a facility page, but it does not support treating the Annex as an independent jail with a separate population table or a separate public lookup. The Annex is best described as a component of the Cobb County Jail Complex operated by the sheriff.
No official source reviewed published a separate Annex address, standalone phone number, bed count, security classification table, or visitor schedule. The research therefore uses the main jail complex address at 1825 County Services Parkway, Marietta, GA 30008, and the main detention phone at (770) 499-4200. The same caution applies to mail, deposits, and custody records. Use the documented Adult Detention Center rules unless the sheriff later publishes Annex-specific instructions.
The Annex should not be inflated into a full second county jail. It is still useful to name because a person may hear that someone is assigned to the Annex while all public search and service functions run through the Cobb sheriff detention system. The distinction helps a reader avoid looking for a nonexistent Annex-only roster.
Cobb Annex Capacity Detail
Separate Annex capacity and population figures were not located in the official sources reviewed. The Adult Detention Center page publishes 3,077 beds for A, B, and C Tower combined, but that figure should not be converted into an Annex bed count. The sheriff's quarterly reports publish booking and immigration inquiry metrics for the jail system, yet they do not give a separate Annex head count in the research file.
| Measure | Annex Treatment |
|---|---|
| Separate capacity | Not published in official sources reviewed. |
| Separate current population | Not located in official public sources reviewed. |
| Facility classification | County detention annex; detailed classification not separately published. |
| System capacity context | Adult Detention Center A, B, and C Tower combined capacity is 3,077 beds. |
For a precise Annex count, the correct path would be a Cobb sheriff open-records request asking for facility or component population by date. Without that response, the page should stay with the documented gap rather than using an estimate.
Search Cobb Detention Annex Inmates
The correct lookup route for someone believed to be at the Cobb County Detention Annex is the Cobb Sheriff inmate search. The search form is used for Cobb jail custody and inquiry searches. It accepts SOID, name, serial number, and a query selector. The sheriff's custodial information page says criminal charges and bond amounts are available through the inmate search. If a result does not name the Annex, call the jail to confirm the actual custody location.
- Open the official Cobb Sheriff inmate search.
- Use SOID if it is known, or search by name using the roster field format.
- Select In Custody first when current jail custody is expected.
- Review the status, SOID, days in custody, and booking buttons.
- Call the main detention phone or Records and ID for placement or record details not visible online.
Do not use the Georgia Department of Corrections locator for a person who is still in Cobb jail custody. GDC is for sentenced state prisoners after transfer. Likewise, BOP and ICE locators cover federal and immigration custody, not routine Cobb County Detention Annex placement. VINELink can send custody or release notifications for participating Cobb Adult Detention Center records but does not replace the jail roster.
Cobb Detention Annex Contact
The official research did not locate an Annex-only contact block, so public contact should route through the main detention complex and records units. Use the jail phone for current custody and facility routing. Use Records and ID for arrest and incarceration records. Use the sheriff open-records path when the public roster does not show the needed record or when a request seeks documents not posted online.

Cobb Annex Visitation Rules
No separate Annex visitor schedule was located. The documented visitation source is the Cobb Adult Detention Center inmate-services page, which uses video conferencing through GTL VisitMe. Public visits are available any day except Wednesday, with visits beginning from 9:00 AM to 7:00 PM. Visitors must register online or at a self-serve kiosk and schedule 1 to 7 days before the visit.
| Rule | Documented Cobb Jail Detail |
|---|---|
| Visit type | Video conferencing. |
| Public schedule | Any day except Wednesday; visits begin 9:00 AM-7:00 PM. |
| Visit length | 30 minutes, scheduled on the hour. |
| Late arrival | Check-in until 15 minutes past the hour; no extension. |
| Visitor ID | Government photo ID required; photocopies not accepted. |

Dress code and prohibited-item rules also apply. The sheriff bars halter or tank tops, see-through clothing, bare midriffs, spaghetti straps, and shorts or skirts more than two inches above the knee. Food, drinks, cell phones, tobacco, and other prohibited items are not allowed in the visitation area. Confirm whether an Annex-housed person is eligible for a visit before travel.
Cobb Annex Mail and Money
Annex-specific mail and commissary rules were not located, so the Adult Detention Center rules are the documented route. The key point is the split between personal mail and legal mail. Personal or other mail goes to a Phoenix, Maryland address with the inmate's name and SOID. Legal mail and books only go to the Cobb Adult Detention Center post office box in Marietta. If the person has been moved within the complex, the SOID helps route the item.
| Service | Provider or Detail |
|---|---|
| Personal or other mail | Cobb County Sheriff's Office, Georgia; inmate name and SOID#; PO Box 247; Phoenix, MD 21131. |
| Legal mail and books only | Cobb County Adult Detention Center; inmate full name and SOID#; PO Box 100110; Marietta, GA 30061. |
| Phone provider | Global Tel Link, Inc.; inmates may not receive incoming calls. |
| Online deposits | ConnectNetwork / GTL. |
| Phone deposits | 888-988-4768, GTL, Site ID 153, inmate ID required. |

Greeting cards and photos are the listed personal contents, with no Polaroids. Books, magazines, and periodicals must come from a publisher or online distributor, and hardbound books are not accepted. Deposits can be made online through ConnectNetwork, by phone through GTL, through the on-site kiosk, by mail with U.S. Postal Money Orders, or in person during the published cash deposit window.
Cobb Annex Booking Context
The Annex should be understood as a housing or detention component inside the sheriff system, not as the first public booking source. The booking record is created through sheriff intake and records processes tied to the Adult Detention Center. The Records and Identification Unit maintains arrest and incarceration records, fingerprints, photographs, and court documents. The Transport Section moves detainees to courts, medical facilities, and other detention or correctional facilities when needed.
- Annex
- A named component of the detention complex, not a separate public roster in the official sources reviewed.
- Booking
- The intake record created when a person is received into jail custody.
- SOID
- The sheriff identifier that helps narrow Cobb jail searches.
- Open records
- The public-records request path for jail records not visible online, subject to legal limits.
About Cobb County Detention Annex
The Annex page exists because the sheriff names the Annex as part of the detention division. Its narrow public record is also the reason the page avoids unsupported claims. No separate Annex capacity, population table, mailroom, or booking portal was found in the official research. The practical search path is the county roster, the jail phone, Records and ID, visitation support, and open records.
For a fuller view of the shared jail complex, Cobb County Adult Detention Center covers the documented capacity, history, and general inmate-services rules. For roster fields and fallback steps, use the broader Cobb County jail inmate records explanation.
Note: Confirm Annex placement with the jail because public roster results may not show detailed housing assignment.
