SUBJECT: County Jail Report December 2007

Enclosed is the County Jail Inmate Report for December 2007. This report reflects the inmate population on December 6, 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 December 2007, the number of inmates held in county jails decreased by 1,297 inmates to 38,563. The capacity increased by 537 to 41,553 as Hall County opened a new jail and their new capacity is 1,026, was 489. The number of inmates awaiting trial decreased by 1,242 inmates to 22,977, and the number of sentenced inmates awaiting transfer to State Institutions increased by 174 inmates to 3,928.

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