SUBJECT: County Jail Report August 2007

Enclosed is the County Jail Inmate Report for August 2007. This report reflects the inmate population on August 2, 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 August 2007, the number of inmates held in county jails increased by 71 inmates to 38,489. The capacity will remain the same, 40,656. Next month, this will change as I will be updating the total jail capacity after recently sending letter to the Sheriffs' requesting updated capacity figures. The number of inmates awaiting trial increased by 338 inmates to 24,123, and the number of sentenced inmates awaiting transfer to State Institutions increased by 26 inmates to 3,695.

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