General Information
The purpose of these profiles is to provide basic information about the Georgia
Department of Corrections (GDC) facilities. This book addresses only the residential
facilities. It does not cover services for the approximately 210,000 probationers who are
on regular and/or intensive "street" probation, living in the community.
Each facility has a primary mission or purpose and each supervises and manages its
offenders somewhat differently depending on the mission and security classification.
Capacity
This is the official maximum operating offender capacity of the facility.
County Correctional Institutions enter into a joint agreement with Georgia Department of
Corrections each fiscal year to provide a designated number of beds for state offenders.
The Warden, County Commissioner and Georgia Department of Corrections sign a Letter
of Agreement concerning operation of the state beds. In return, Georgia Department of
Corrections pays the county a per diem rate per state offender as set by legislation;
currently, the rate is $20.00 per day.
Housing
The housing section provides a brief description of the types of offender housing.
Dormitories are barracks-style rooms with rows of bunks. A single building may hold one
or more dormitories. Pods generally are detached buildings with a number of rooms
arranged in various ways; each room usually will contain a small number of bunks. Pods
resemble clusters, which may have their own dining room, recreation area and other
common areas as well. Ranges and cellblocks are rows of cells facing a common
walkway. There may be two or more tiers of dormitory-style buildings used mainly for
their relatively quick and easy construction.
Work Details
This section offers a brief description of the most significant job functions the facility
performs. Offenders perform such work details as food service, building and grounds
maintenance, janitorial, laundry, utilities, maintenance and sanitation duties. Those
functions may or may not be noted in the Work Details section. Community service work
details fall within these areas and are also represented. In addition, this includes the
variety of skilled jobs in Correctional Industries, Offender Construction units, Food and
Farm processing and the offender-manned fire stations that serve communities as well as
the facility.
Specialized Functions
Canine teams handle special tracking and/or drug detection dogs both for Georgia
Department of Corrections and, when requested, outside law enforcement. Tactical
squads consist of specially trained officers who react to major prison or community
disturbances. Corrections Emergency Response Teams (CERT) are trained to respond
assertively to incidents within the facility.
Programs
Rehabilitative, medical and other services available to offenders at the facility are generally
described as academic, counseling (which includes substance abuse), recreation, religious
activities and vocational/on-the-job training (OJT).
Academic: General Education which includes literacy and math instruction:
The Special Education program is for those with learning handicaps.
Literacy/Remedial Reading (LRR) is for those functioning below the fifth-grade
reading level.
Adult Basic Education (ABE) is for offenders functioning between the fifth-grade
level and eighth-grade level.
General Education Development (GED) is for those at or above the eighth-grade
level without a high school diploma; completion of GED earns the student a high
school equivalency diploma.
Counseling
This is a very broad category of treatment. It may include sex-offender, positive mental
attitude (PMA), or pre-release counseling to ease the return to free society. Additionally,
it may include anger management and many others, along with substance abuse. It
offers programs for those with alcohol/drug programs and may include Alcoholics and
Narcotics Anonymous (AA/NA) and other treatment modes. It also includes individual,
group counseling modes and Specialized Intervention Units (SID) where the participants
live together in treatment communities and assist each other to overcome their problems.
Religious Activities
Offenders are assured religious freedom under the U.S. Constitution. Georgia
Department of Corrections Chaplaincy Services will arrange to meet the need for any
recognized faith, including services by and individual contact with ministers of that faith.
Full-time and part-time chaplains also offer non-sectarian humanitarian assistance to any
troubled offender. Religious instruction on the Bible, the Koran and other spiritual guides is
available.
Vocational/OJT
This section provides information on training for a particular job skill - classroom, shop
and/or on-the-job training (OJT) requirements. Completion leads to the same certification
or diploma offered by a free society training program.
Medical
Offenders have the Constitutional right to adequate health care. This includes the
provision of varying levels of onsite medical and dental care along with referrals to
community providers as necessary. The following are provided:
Primary Care Infirmary Care
Medical Diagnostics
Chronic Care
Acute Care Dental Care
Mental Health
Offender Security Classification
Georgia offenders are assigned to a security level after a review of factors to include the
offender's sentence, nature of the crime, criminal history, history of violence, medical and
treatment risks and needs. The classification levels are: close, medium and minimum.
In general, an offender will be reviewed daily for reclassification electronically.
The three security classifications now used are set forth in the Rules and Regulations of
the State Board of Corrections. These classifications, as paraphrased from the Rules
and Regulations, are:
Close Security
These offenders are escape risks, have assault histories, are considered
dangerous and may have detainers for other serious crimes on file. (A detainer is
a request by another law enforcement agency to hold an offender pending other
charges or actions.) These offenders may never leave the prison, require
supervision at all times by a correctional officer and are housed in prisons with high
levels of security.
Medium Security
These offenders have no major adjustment problems and many may work outside
the prison fence, but must remain under constant supervision. This is the largest
category of offenders.
Minimum Security
These offenders tend to abide by prison regulations, present a minimal risk of
escape and have been judged to be a minimal threat to the community. Offenders
in this security level may work outside the fence under minimal supervision. Often
offenders assigned to this level have proven to be trustworthy, cooperative and
have no alcohol/drug problems. Minimum security offenders are eligible for
transitional centers.
State Prisons
State prisons house violent, repeat criminals or nonviolent offenders who have
exhausted all other forms of punishment. Judges may sentence offenders directly to
prison or they may be sent as a result of revocation proceedings. There are 30 state
prisons, three of which are designated for women.
Offenders in state prisons have access to classes and other services that allow them to
reduce their risk to the community.
Offenders who are able-bodied are also assigned to work details. These may be
connected to the on-going operation of the facility (such as cooking, cleaning, laundry,
or making general repairs around the facility) or to more specialized details. Among
these specialized details are:
●
Food and Farm Operations: Over 5,000 offenders work on prison farms or
work in preserving, preparing and serving foods.
●
Offender Construction: Offender crews serve the construction needs of
Corrections, other state agencies and communities. Carefully supervised,
skilled offenders are temporarily housed in nearby facilities while completing
approved renovation or remodeling jobs around the state.
●
Fire Services: Specially selected minimum security offenders may be chosen
to work in the prison fire stations responding to prison and rural fire
emergencies.
●
Community Work Details: Under supervision, low security offenders build,
refurbish and maintain prison and civic buildings, perform roadwork, clean
public buildings and schools, and work at recycling centers and landfills.
●
Correctional Industries: Up to 1,800 offenders are selected to receive onthe-job training which includes metal fabrication, optics, printing, license
plates, footwear, woodworking, screen printing, upholstery, garment and
chemical production.
Private Prisons
The Georgia Department of Corrections currently has contracts with two private
companies to house over six thousand five hundred offenders.
In 1997, through a bid process, Georgia Department of Corrections entered into a
contract with Corrections Corporation of America (CCA) to build and operate private
prisons in Alamo (Wheeler Correctional Facility) and in Nicholls (Coffee Correctional
Facility). Both facilities opened in the fall of 1998. The Department contracted once more
with CCA to open and operate another private prison in Millen (Jenkins Correctional
Facility), which opened in March 2012. All three have been a part of the corrections
continuum in Georgia since that time. These private prisons are accredited by the
American Correctional Association (ACA) and by the Medical Association of Georgia
(MAG) as required by contract. The other contract is with The Geo Group, Inc. to build
and operate a private prison in Milledgeville (Riverbend Correctional Facility), which
opened in December 2011.
Georgia Department of Corrections has a full-time Private Prison Monitor on site at each
private facility overseeing the facility's operations to ensure that all contract conditions
are met and that the facility operates with a continuous focus on sanitation, safety and
security. Just as in Georgia Department of Corrections facilities, offenders work on full
time details and are afforded the opportunity to participate in a wide variety of educational
classes and counseling programs.
Transitional Centers
After a term in prison, selected offenders are slowly reintegrated back into society with a
job and enhanced prospects for stability. Research has shown that offenders who have
the opportunity to re-enter the community after a stay in a transitional center are up to ⅓
more likely to succeed in maintaining a crime-free life.
There are over two thousand five hundred transitional center beds available statewide.
Either the State Board of Pardons and Paroles or the prison staff must refer an offender
for the program. The decision about which offenders to send to a transitional center is
based on criminal history, behavior while incarcerated and a number of other factors.
One function of the transitional centers is to provide "work release", allowing the offender to
obtain a paying job in the community while requiring him or her to conform to the
structure of the center. The offender lives in the center, participates in a number of
programs and completes assignments which contribute to the upkeep of the center. The
wages earned by work release offenders are sent directly to the center.
Employers are required to deduct taxes as appropriate and a portion of the wages is
applied to room and board.
Residential Substance Abuse & Integrated Treatment Facilities Centers
RSAT is a nine-month Residential Substance Abuse Treatment program, which targets high
risk, high needs offenders with a history of substance abuse as a causative factor leading to
correctional supervision. The goal of the RSAT program is to return to society a graduate
who is a law abiding, self-supporting, pro-social citizen, thereby reducing recidivism.
Integrated Treatment Programs are nine-month programs that actively combine substance
abuse interventions and interventions to address mental disorders, with the goal of treating
the whole person more effectively by treating both mental health and substance disorders in
order to reduce recidivism.
Length of Stay
The average length of stay at a transitional center is nine to twelve months for residents
who represent no unacceptable risk to the safety of the community.
When offenders are assigned to a transitional center, they are required to go through a
30-day orientation period before they can participate in the work release portion of the
program. During this time, residents attend classes tailored to their particular needs and
help make them ready for employment. These classes include drug and alcohol
education, employment instruction, communication skills and financial management.
Employment
Once the orientation phase is completed, residents are ready for employment. Jobs are
found in the community with the help of a job coordinator who, together with other
center personnel, screen applicants for certain jobs. They also assist employers with
special problems that may arise. In turn, employers are asked to give periodic
performance reports to measure each resident's progress in the work force.
Once offenders are employed, they must pay 30 percent of their salary for room and
board, but not to exceed $90 weekly. In addition, they pay federal, state and local taxes.
Of the fees collected at the transitional centers, over $1.2 million is returned to the state
annually. Thus, not only is the resident gaining from this program, the taxpayers of
Georgia are profiting as well.
Boot Camp
The Boot Camp programs focus on military regimens combined with a full day's work
and includes comprehensive programming in the evening hours. Emphasis is placed on
substance abuse programming. Training is also provided in academic education, life
skills and release preparation.
The Boot Camp Plus program is very similar to the Boot Camp Program but is mainly
intended for drug offenses only. Another difference is that offenders assigned here may
have had one prior felony except for the offenses listed on page 10. (If the current
sentence is not a drug charge only, he will not qualify.)
Georgia law and departmental policy identify eligibility criteria for boot camp candidates
as follows:
•
•
•
•
•
•
Must be a male not less than 17 and not more than 35 years of age, at the
time of sentencing
Has no previous period of incarceration in an adult penal institution
Has to serve no less than 9 months and no more than 5 years in prison
Has no known contagious or communicable disease
Has no known physical limitation that would exclude strenuous labor and
physical activity
Has no known mental disorder or retardation that would prevent
participation in a program which requires intensive interaction and
strenuous physical activity
Georgia law and departmental policy identify eligibility criteria for boot camp plus

Probation Detention Centers
The Georgia Department of Corrections operates 10 probation detention centers to
provide short-term confinement of probationers in a secure, safe and work-oriented
environment. A probation detention center (PDC) is a minimum-security facility for
confining probationers, normally for a period of 60 to 120 days. Offenders may be sent
directly to the center as a sentencing option or if they prove unable to fulfill their
probation obligation in the community, may be sent to the detention center as a result of a
revocation proceeding.
Probation Detention Centers provide a sanctioning option for probationers who require
more security or supervision than that provided by regular community supervision or a
diversion center but may not qualify for a boot camp. The centers are highly structured
with regimented schedules that include supervised, unpaid work in surrounding
communities and programming geared toward making them more successful in the
community.
Housing
The probation detention centers currently in operation over two thousand beds. One
center houses women (approximately 230 beds). Typical features are:
Four open dormitories with bunk beds
Multi-purpose program areas
Support services area (laundry, food service, maintenance, medical care)
Staff offices, work areas and security stations
Perimeter fence around detainee access areas
Maintenance and chemical storage buildings
Programming
The following types of programming are available:
Academic Education
Employment Preparation
Group Counseling
Personal Health
Primary Health Care
Substance Abuse
Work Details
The majority of Probation Detention Center detainees perform supervised work in the
surrounding community. Most centers have contracts to provide details to local
governments and to the Georgia Department of Transportation. Some detainees
maintain the center through work details while a few other carefully screened detainees
are assigned to jobs supervised by other governmental agencies.
