SUBJECT: County Jail Report April 2003

Enclosed is the County Jail Inmate Information Report for April 2003. This report reflects the inmate population on Thursday, April 3, 2003. This month, all 148 functional county jail provided inmate information. Although the McIntosh County jail is completed, adequate staff has not been hired to permit the opening of the jail. When the jail becomes operational, there will be 149 functional county jails. The data in this report represents 100 percent of the county jails reporting and 100 percent of the State's population.

In April 2003, the number of inmates held in county jails increased by 713 inmates to 31,398. Meanwhile, the jail capacity increased by 355 beds to 34,397. The jail capacity increased as a result of a new jail addition that opened in Columbus/Muscogee County. Meanwhile, the number of sentenced inmates awaiting transfer to State Institutions increased by 308 inmates to 3,927. This is the second highest number of inmates ever held in county jails awaiting transfer to State Institutions.

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.
