SUBJECT: County Jail Report January 2004

Enclosed is the County Jail Inmate Information Report for January 2003. This report reflects the inmate population on Thursday, January 1, 2004. 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 January 2004, the number of inmates held in county jails decreased by 991 inmates to 31,797. Meanwhile, the capacity of county jails increased by 147 beds to 35,152 as a result of additional beds being added in Houston County. The number of inmates awaiting trial decreased by 274 inmates to 19,411 and the number of sentenced inmates awaiting transfer to State Institutions increased by 28 inmates to 4,855.

In December 2003, the information submitted for Glynn County was incorrect. The corrected information for Glynn County and the corrected figures for the State totals are posted at the link below.

The complete jail report for each month from January 1987 through January 2004 is available on the web at: http://www.dca.state.ga.us/research/publicsafety.html

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 January 2004

Pretrial Inmates: 19,411 or 61%

County Sentenced Inmates: 4,157 or 13%

Other Inmates: 3,374 or 11%

Inmates Sentenced to State Institutions: 4,855 or 15%
