SUBJECT: County Jail Report April 2005

Enclosed is the County Jail Inmate Information Report for April 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 and I just received data to compile this report. This report reflects the inmate population on Thursday, April 7, 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 April 2005, the number of inmates held in county jails increased by 1,492 inmates to 35,216. Total capacity increased by 187 inmates to 37,938. This change is a result of letter that was recently sent to Sheriffs asking them to update their county jail's capacity. The following counties changed their capacity: Bleckley County (23 capacity was 32), Burke County (138 capacity was 96), Clayton County (1,920 capacity was 1860), Cobb County (2,559 capacity was 2,634), Dawson County: (120 capacity was 53), Dougherty County (1,230 capacity was 1,244), Haralson County (95 capacity was 60), Hart County (53 capacity was 48), Lamar County (158 capacity was 142), Stephens County (94 capacity was 98), and Walton County (440 capacity was 376). The number of inmates awaiting trial increased by 430 inmates to 21,273, and the number of sentenced inmates awaiting transfer to State Institutions increased by 700 inmates to 4,897.

The complete jail report is available on the web at: http://www.dca.state.ga.us/development/research/programs/jailReports.asp
