Gwinnett County Jail reviews and complaints
Scamming loved ones and restricting inmates
Inmates are being kept on a 24 hour lock down for days at a time. My loved one has complained to being locked in a room for 24 hours for 5 days. He has been unable to communicate to family and loved ones and unable to speak to any outside family. I have paid for video call sessions that he did not attend but when I call the jail they explain his visitation...
Read full complaintNo care for inmates at all
I have a loved one who is locked up in Gwinnett county jail & he informed me that you guys keep having excessive lock downs idk why y’all keep doing that knowing jail is an awful place do you evil people have any care for humans at all. After all he is important & he is a human. We all make mistakes just because somebody is in jail doesn’t mean they deserve cruel treatment. Locking the inmates up for days may have an impact on inmates mental health but the evil cops don’t care lol it’s like y’all get that job to be [censored]s because y’all just miserable & ugly inside. I’ve been calling everyday even in the morning & y’all send the phone straight to voicemail. What type of sheriff office is this? Y’all need to get this crap under control. Start being more considerate & think about what if that was you or your loved one would you want them to be treated like that ? & why do y’all need to charge so much for the inmates fees when I want to put money on his books. Y’all chose that job if don’t pay enough get a better one but don’t be trying to take out money that’s for our inmates. I can’t stand the police system & I can’t wait for the release of my loved one. Y’all treat them like they not important yes they made mistakes but God forgives. Only miserable people apply to be a cop smh those who find enjoyment in others misery smh. God is watching always remember that. I might have to pop up at the Gwinnett county jail if this prolongs in January & if my loved one is still in there hopefully not.

Police and jail
I am 7 months pregnant with my second child. My firstborn is 13 months old and since living in Georgia (a little over a year now) I have been constantly harrassed and attacked (with many video evidence) by an older woman who is severely mentally ill. She was evicted in the past after months of terrorizing me and my family... she comes back and the police does NOTHING. (Even the judge was wondering why we had to go through an eviction process since she pays no rent, has no lease, was trespassing, and even deemed her mentally unstable) Each time she attacks one of us (3 times while I was pregnant, first time was 2 weeks before I delivered my firstborn son), the police show up and do nothing. The ONE time she was finally arrested was after she attacked my sister with a hammer! My sister caught it all on video as well and they gave her a slap on the wrist and was only charged with "family violence" and was released later that night. She will scream, slam things, throw things, and attacks us right in front of my 1 year old! Police does nothing. Just recently she came home at 4am, drunk, screaming and slamming things (my sister had company over and this woman freaked out over it) she woke my son up and he was screaming and shaking, I had to calm him down and then she came back upstairs and woke him up again while getting in me, my sister, and her bfs faces. Im 7 months pregnant, blocking her from my sons room, asking her to calm down and that she is scaring her GRANDSON, She runs up to me yelling and in fear for myself, my son, and my unborn child I pushed her off and away from me which causes her to fall (didn't help she was extremely drunk). She called the cops and since she had a mark on her face and I didn't I WAS ARRESTED! I was arrested for defending myself against this VERY hostile and dangerous woman. My sister and her bf were witnesses to this altercation and the police had NO interest in talking with them since I was related to one of the witnesses! I have NEVER been arrested before, I have always been a good person and the police were told many many times of the issues here as well as presented with video evidence in the past and they decide to arrest a 7 month pregnant woman because it was a "he said she said" scenario and I wasn't left with any marks. I had to sleep on the cell floor, water didn't work in the cell, and there is an toilet with a camera facing it. Not a single person there cared that I was put there in self defense and was pregnant and I had 1,300 bail and was charged with the SAME charge as the woman who attacked some one with a hammer. This system is messed up! Police are supposed to protect and serve but they've failed me and my family many many times. I'm losing more and more faith in humanity as well as the "justice" system.

Medical treatment and neglect
This is long but I need help and I am grasping at straws at this point. I have reached out to the sheriff, the head of medical at Gwinnett County Jail, the Gwinnett County Police Department, the major of Mental Health at the Jail, the lead Physician at the jail, the Warden for the state correction system, my husbands court appointed attorney…and the only...

The cops were very mean in Norcross. After I got verbally attacked by a group of cops I was put in handcuffs, while they continued to treat me terribly and searched my van accusing me of illegal drugs, which I did not have. All I had was my prescription medications from my doctor. They did the breathalyzer test on me and checked my water and I had ZERO...

The sentence carried one year in jail and...
