SUBJECT: County Jail Report April 2006

Enclosed is the County Jail Inmate Information Report for April 2006. This report reflects the inmate population on Thursday, April 6, 2006 as local sheriffs' offices report the data for the County Jail Report to GCIC on the first Thursday of each month. 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 2006, the number of inmates held in county jails increased by 169 inmates to 34,908. Meanwhile, the capacity of county jails decreased by 23 inmates as Bleckley County closed their jail. The new capacity is 37,784. Next month, this will change again as I will be updating the total jail capacity after sending letter to the Sheriffs' requesting updated capacity figures. The number of inmates awaiting trial increased by 119 inmates to 21,478, and the number of sentenced inmates awaiting transfer to State Institutions decreased by 347 inmates to 3,517.

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