This is the DCS field office serving Candler County for covered felony probation and parole supervision. DCS headquarters lists 678-783-4337 and general hours of 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. on weekdays.
Use these routes to choose the correct next step:
- For a released person or county discharge record, start with the home search and records path, then send the request to the sheriff.
- For community supervision, use the Probation & Parole page and the DCS Swainsboro office.
- For someone who may have just left the jail, review Jail Releases: 24 Hours; Candler has no official public release feed, so sheriff records are the fallback.
- For sentence timing or alerts, compare Projected Release with the VINELink Inmate Search.
- For the local facility, use the Candler County Jail page linked in the footer.
- For a sentenced Georgia prisoner, search the GDC offender database.
- For federal or immigration custody, use the BOP Inmate Locator or ICE Online Detainee Locator.
