# Live Inmate Roster: Georgia Jail Bookings in Real Time

> Access live booking data from 8+ Georgia counties and North Carolina with automatic refresh, manual sync, and AI-powered mugshot matching.

DocketStream's Live Inmate Roster gives you instant visibility into who is currently booked across Georgia's county jails and facilities in North Carolina — all from a single, unified interface. Instead of manually checking individual county websites, you get a consolidated feed of active bookings, charges, bond amounts, and inmate photos that refreshes automatically throughout the day.

## How the Roster Works

DocketStream aggregates booking data from **8+ Georgia counties** (including Clayton County) and **27+ roster counties**, as well as select North Carolina facilities. Every record in the roster is sourced directly from official county jail systems and synchronized on a rolling basis.

### Coverage and Refresh Frequency

Roster data refreshes automatically every **30–60 minutes**. The auto-refresh indicator on each county panel shows you exactly when the last sync completed and when the next one is scheduled. If you need the freshest available data immediately, use the **Sync Now** button to trigger a manual refresh on demand.

### Data Columns

Each roster entry surfaces the following fields:

| Column           | Description                                         |
| ---------------- | --------------------------------------------------- |
| **Name**         | Full legal name of the booked individual            |
| **DOB**          | Date of birth as recorded at booking                |
| **County**       | Originating county jail                             |
| **Booking Date** | Date and time of the arrest booking                 |
| **Release Date** | Date of release from custody, when applicable       |
| **Charges**      | Charge description(s) at time of booking            |
| **Bond**         | Bond amount set, if available                       |
| **Status**       | Current custody status (e.g., In Custody, Released) |
| **Photo**        | Booking mugshot, when provided by the county        |

## Browsing the Roster

    Click on any county panel to expand its live booking list. Counties with recent activity are highlighted at the top.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Check the Auto-Refresh Indicator">

  </Step>
</Steps>

## Mugshot Matching

DocketStream uses AI-powered facial recognition to automatically link **Georgia Department of Corrections (GDC) photos** to county-level arrest records. When the system identifies a match between a GDC offender photo and a county booking mugshot, it surfaces a **unified profile** that combines:

* The county booking record (charges, bond, status)
* The individual's GDC corrections history (prior incarcerations, offenses, release dates)
* Parole or supervision status, if applicable

<Note>
  Mugshot matching is performed automatically in the background. When a match is found, a **GDC Linked** badge appears on the roster entry. Click the badge to open the full unified profile.
</Note>

## AutoRefresh Toggle

The **AutoRefresh** toggle lets you control whether the roster updates itself on the 30–60 minute schedule while your browser tab is open.

* **Enabled (default):** The roster fetches fresh data automatically at each interval. A live countdown timer shows the time until the next refresh.
* **Disabled:** The roster freezes at the last loaded state. Use this when you need to review records without the display updating mid-review.

To toggle AutoRefresh, click the **AutoRefresh** switch in the upper-right corner of any county roster panel.

## Enriching a Record

For any roster entry that has a linked GDC offender profile, you can click **Enrich** to pull in additional corrections data on demand. Enrichment appends:

* GDC offender ID and state file number
* Sentence and offense history from state corrections
* Current institution or supervision assignment
* Scheduled release date (when available)

<Tip>
  Use **Enrich** when you need a complete picture of an individual's corrections history beyond what the county booking record provides. Enrichment is especially useful for repeat offenders with multiple county bookings.
</Tip>

## Data and Accuracy

<Note>
  All roster data is sourced from public record systems maintained by individual county jails. Records are refreshed every 30–60 minutes; some counties may experience brief delays due to system maintenance or upstream availability. DocketStream displays data as reported — always verify critical details directly with the originating county for legal or official purposes.
