SUBJECT: County Jail Report April 2004

Enclosed is the County Jail Inmate Information Report for April 2004. This report reflects the inmate population on Thursday, April 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 April 2004, the number of inmates held in county jails increased by 1,231 inmates to 34,187. Meanwhile, the capacity of county jails increased by 655 beds to 36,102 as a result of additional beds being added in Cobb County. The number of inmates awaiting trial decreased by 258 inmates to 19,488 and the number of sentenced inmates awaiting transfer to State Institutions increased by 99 inmates to 4,325. In addition, Pulaski County has transferred all of their inmates to Houston County. As a result, Pulaski County inmates are included in Houston County totals.

In March 2004, the data submitted for Glynn County was incorrect. The corrected data 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 April 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 county 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 to other county jails for housing are counted by the county jail housing those inmates. Since municipalities do not report inmate statistics, any Sheriff that sends inmates to a city jail for housing should count those inmates in their county totals when reporting to GCIC.
