For information about bonding someone out of the Clayton County Jail:
There are different bonds that are accepted by most correctional facilities, including the Clayton County Jail, including:1. Cash Bond – when the entire amount of the bond is handed over, in cash, to the Sheriff’s Accounting Office. Upon the disposition of the case, the money will be returned by the Sheriff’s Office upon receipt of the final sentence or dismissal;

2. Property Bonds – if you or someone you know owns real property in Clayton County, or another county in the state of Georgia, and they are willing to put their property up for a bond, it may be possible to use your property to secure the release of an inmate. You must have enough equity in the property to cover the total amount of the bond, including an additional $10,000 for the Homestead Exemption (ex. If the bond is $1,800 then your property must be worth at least $11,800 to make the bond.) If the property is in another county within the state of Georgia you must go to that county’s Sheriff’s Office and meet their requirements for making a “Transfer Bond.”

3. Items REQUIRED to initiate the bonding process:

a. A current and valid state issued driver’s license or state identification card;
b. A $20.00 per bond fee. Transfer bonds may charge you a fee for processing and bonding companies may charge fees as well. But you will owe the Clayton County Sheriff’s Office Accounting Office a $20.00 fee on top of any other fees;
c. A copy of a Warrant Deed of a Quit Claim Deed (for property bonds) that has been stamped as Satisfied by the Clerk of the Court;
d. Any other documents deemed necessary by a supervisor to prove ownership of said property and/or the property’s equity; and
e. Bonds over $20,0000 will require that a Deed to Secure Debt be completed by the Sheriff’s Office. This will result in a lien being placed against the property until the case is disposed of

4. Use of a Commercial/Professional Bonding Company – you may opt to use one of the licensed Commercial, or Professional, Bonding Companies that are located in Clayton County. These companies are privately owned and not a part of the Sheriff’s Office and while the Clayton County Sheriff’s Department does not recommend or endorse any specific bonding company, there is a list of “Approved Bonding Companies:”

a. A-Atlanta/Clayton 770-472-7277;
b. ABC South Bonding 770-473-1027;
c. Anytime Bail Bonding 770-472-0069;
d. Easy Bail Bonding 770-472-8900;
e. Free At Last 770-471-1284; and
f. Jam Bonding 770-477-7865
If you do not think that the individual that you are considering on bonding out of jail will appear in court, it is in your best interest to NOT make bond for them.Clayton County Inmate Bonding Information

For information about inmate’s financial accounts while they are in the Clayton County Jail:

The Accounting Office at the Clayton County Jail is tasked with keeping track of the money in the inmate’s accounts so that they can pay for commissary items, medical & dental services, court ordered payments, and bonds. VendEngine is also used as an easy way for families to put money in inmates accounts.

To deposit money via money order:1. You can mail a money order to the Accounting Section of the Clayton County Jail, but they will NOT accept money orders in person and money orders must be verified before they are deposited, a process which takes several days. You must put the Inmate’s Name and LE Number on the Money Order for it to be processed. You can get their LE Number from the inmate.

Address to mail money to the Clayton County Sheriff’s Office:
Clayton County Sheriff’s Office
ATTN: Accounting Office
9157 Tara Blvd
Jonesboro, GA 30236
The money remaining on the inmate’s account will be reimbursed only to the inmate. Those who have $25.00 or less will receive their money in cash. Those who have $25.01 or more will receive their money on a debit card with an activation fee of $4.95. If you have issues with the debit card you can call ComData at 1-855-276-7077. Inmates who are transferred to different facilities will receive a check.
Inmate Accounts are managed by an outside vendor, called VendEngine, which accepts money in three different ways, online, via on-site kiosks, and by telephone.1. To deposit funds to VendEngine online:

a. Go to the VendEngine website;
b. Go to the “Make Deposit” tab and select “Georgia;”
c. Choose “Start Deposit;”
d. Select Clayton County Jail;
e. Choose the first letter of the inmates last name. Example for John Doe, you would click “D;”
f. Select the correct inmate;
g. Enter your credit card information, deposit amount, and credit card billing information; and
h. Click “Continue.”
To use the kiosks that are located at the Public Entrance of the Sheriff’s Office:1. The kiosks accept cash and credit cards, but they are unable to handle coins or make change. If you insert a large bill into the kiosk you should know that the kiosk will take the entire amount and place it in the inmate’s account. At this time the Accounting Office is unable to make change for large bills so you should plan ahead;
To Deposit Money by Telephone:1. Contact VendEngine at 1-855-836-3364. Deposits made over the phone will be processed in the same way as online Credit Card payments and the same fees will be assessed.

The Clayton County Sheriff’s Office is not responsible for any errors made by VendEngine. Once the funds are deposited in the inmate’s account, they belong to the inmate and neither the Clayton County Sheriff’s Office nor VendEngine can legally remove money from an inmate’s account. If you have a concern you can contact VendEngine at 615-266-6570 or the Accounting Office at the Clayton County Sheriff’s Office at 678-479-5328.
