M E M O R A N D U M TO: Interested Persons FROM: Brian DiNapoli DATE: April 2, 2007 SUBJECT: County Jail Report March 2007 Enclosed is the County Jail Inmate Report for March 2007. This report reflects the inmate population on March 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 March 2007, the number of inmates held in county jails decreased by 366 inmates to 36,473. The capacity remained the same, 39,747. The number of inmates awaiting trial decreased by 450 inmates to 22,666, and the number of sentenced inmates awaiting transfer to State Institutions increased by 121 inmates to 3,694. The jail report is available at http://www.dca.state.ga.us/development/research/programs/jailReports.asp.
