M E M O R A N D U M TO: Interested Persons FROM: Tony M. McClung DATE: September 22, 2003 SUBJECT: County Jail Report September 2003 Enclosed is the County Jail Inmate Information Report for September 2003. This report reflects the inmate population on Thursday, September 4, 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 September 2003, the number of inmates held in county jails increased by 522 inmates to 34,254. In addition, the capacity of county jails increased by 424 beds as a result of a new jail opening in Whitfield County. The number of inmates awaiting trial increased by 247 inmates to 20,473 and the number of sentenced inmates awaiting transfer to State Institutions increased by 289 inmates to 4,374. This is the largest number of inmates ever held in county jails. The August 2003 County Jail report was updated with corrected information from Glynn and McDuffie Counties. The corrected jail report is available on the web at: http://www.dca.state.ga.us/research/publicsafety.html TMM Enclosures SUMMARY COUNTY JAIL INMATE POPULATION REPORT1 September 4, 2003 ***************************************************************************************************************************************** 1.

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.
