SUBJECT: County Jail Report September 2007

Enclosed is the County Jail Inmate Report for September 2007. This report reflects the inmate population on September 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 September 2007, the number of inmates held in county jails increased by 572 inmates to 39,061. Total capacity increased by 323 inmates to 40,979. This change is result of a letter that was recently sent to Sheriffs advising them to update their county jail's capacity. The following jails changed their capacity: Camden County (188 capacity was 150), Gwinnett County (2,744 capacity was 2,694), Dooly County (154 capacity was 148), Columbia County (266 capacity was 220), Whitfield County (551 capacity, was 548), Spalding County (540 capacity was 468), Bartow County (471 capacity was 472), Clay County (closed, housing inmates in Miller County, was 16), Jackson County (123 capacity was 121), Washington County (80 capacity was 51), Lincoln County (92 capacity was 77), Walker County (225 capacity was 209), Dodge County (72 capacity was 56), Stewart County (14 capacity was 12), Lumpkin County (150 capacity was 130), and Haralson County (120 capacity was 95). The number of inmates awaiting trial decreased by 198 inmates to 23,925, and the number of sentenced inmates awaiting transfer to State Institutions increased by 721 inmates to 4,416.
