Notable Highlights in 2024 for Henry County Sheriff's Office Jail Operations HENRY HIGHLIGHTS
STREAMLINING THE BOND PROCESS Introducing the NEW EBonds System at the Henry County Jail
In 2024, the Henry County Jail began the transition to an electronic bonding system (E-BONDS), revolutionizing the bond payment process to make it faster, simpler, and more accessible for families and individuals. E-BONDS allow payments to be made online, eliminates the need for in-person visits to the jail, and significantly reduces the time it takes to process bonds. This system saves time and also provides a clear and secure way for people to handle bond transactions, ensuring peace of mind during what can be a stressful time.
This initiative reflects Sheriff Scandrett’s commitment to building trust through transparency and improving services for the community. By utilizing the E-Bond system, the HCSO continues to upgrade and modernize its operations and make improvements that benefit both the agency and the citizens we serve.
Jail Operations recently launched a dedicated Bonding Unit, enhancing the release process for eligible individuals with a bond, and bringing substantial benefits to both the Henry County Jail Operations and the community. Under the leadership of unit supervisor Kamali Varner , the Bonding Unit plays a crucial role in improving jail efficiency by ensuring timely releases. The team, now strengthened by members including JoeAnn Lemon, Kelly Woods-Lockett, Frances McCarral-Mingo, Erica Shreve, Alicia Stewart, Jamayla Ladson-Tatum, and Chontelle Rush , is highly trained in the bonding process, handling each case with fairness and precision. This unit also supports the judicial system by promptly responding to bond information from the courts, ensuring a smooth and equitable release process for incarcerated individuals. By streamlining the process, the Bonding Unit helps to create a more effective and just detention system in Henry County, built on integrity and fairness.
