SUBJECT: County Jail Report October 2003

Enclosed is the County Jail Inmate Information Report for October 2003. This report reflects the inmate population on Thursday, October 2, 2003. This month, all 149 of the functional county jails provided inmate information. The data in this report represents 100 percent of the county jails reporting and 100 percent of the State's population.

In October 2003, the number of inmates held in county jails decreased by 428 inmates to 33,826. Meanwhile, the capacity of county jails increased by 31 beds to 34,905 as a result of a new jail opening in Madison County and the loss of 17 beds due to renovation in Walton County. The number of inmates awaiting trial decreased by 480 inmates to 19,993 and the number of sentenced inmates awaiting transfer to State Institutions increased by 460 inmates to 4,834. This is the largest number of sentenced inmates ever held in county jails awaiting transfer to State Institution.

1 In cooperation with the Georgia Crime Information Center, the Georgia Department of Community Affairs compiles and publishes this report for the Georgia Sheriffs' Association and the Association of County Commissioners of Georgia. 2 This figure does not include jails presently at 100% or that would exceed 100% if not for the boarding out of inmates. Since the purpose of this report is to count the total number of inmates housed in county jails, there are no provisions in this report to separately count the number of inmates sent to other facilities for housing. Rather, each county reports only on the number of inmates held in their facility on the first Thursday of the month. Inmates that are sent elsewhere for housing are counted by the facility housing those inmates.

Composition of County Jail Population October 2003

Pretrial Inmates: 20,473 or 60%

County Sentenced Inmates: 4,875 or 14%

Other Inmates: 4,532 or 13%

Inmates Sentenced to State Institutions: 4,374 or 13%
