M E M O R A N D U M TO: Interested Persons FROM: Brian DiNapoli DATE: March 29, 2005 SUBJECT: County Jail Report March 2005 Enclosed is the County Jail Inmate Information Report for March 2005. I apologize for the delay of the report this month. However, publication of the report is dependent upon input from many agencies and departments. This report reflects the inmate population on Thursday, March 3, 2005. 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 March 2005, the number of inmates held in county jails increased by 715 inmates to 33,724. Total capacity increased by 891 inmates to 37,751 with the opening of new beds in Irwin County (620 capacity) and new jails in Brooks (112 capacity) and Polk (362 capacity) counties. The number of inmates awaiting trial increased by 656 inmates to 20,843, and the number of sentenced inmates awaiting transfer to State Institutions decreased by 178 inmates to 4,197. The complete jail report is available on the web at: http://www.dca.state.ga.us/research/publicsafety.html Please contact me at 404-679-3147 if you have any questions.
