SUBJECT: County Jail Report November 2007

Enclosed is the County Jail Inmate Report for November 2007. This report reflects the inmate population on November 1, 2007. This month, all 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. Please note this report is a collaborative effort of both state and local agencies/departments, and the publication date is dependent upon a number of variables that are not within the direct control of the Department of Community Affairs. However, we make every effort to release the report as early as possible.

In November 2007, the number of inmates held in county jails increased by 297 inmates to 39,860. The capacity will remain the same, 41,016. The number of inmates awaiting trial increased by 239 inmates to 24,219, and the number of sentenced inmates awaiting transfer to State Institutions decreased by 306 inmates to 3,754.

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