SUBJECT: County Jail Report May 2007

Enclosed is the County Jail Inmate Report for May 2007. This report reflects the inmate population on May 5, 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 May 2007, the number of inmates held in county jails increased by 440 inmates to 37,591. The capacity increased by 180 to 39,927. The following jails have changed their capacities, Oconee County opened a new jail, their new capacity is 136, was 32. Elbert County added an addition to their jail, their new capacity is 96, was 50, and Johnson County opened a new jail, their new capacity is 42, was 12. The number of inmates awaiting trial increased by 89 inmates to 22,327, and the number of sentenced inmates awaiting transfer to State Institutions increased by 116 inmates to 4,065.

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