SUBJECT: County Jail Report February 2008

Enclosed is the County Jail Inmate Report for February 2008. This report reflects the inmate population on February 7, 2008. 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 February 2008, the number of inmates held in county jails increased by 870 inmates to 37,854. The capacity remained the same, 41,553. The number of inmates awaiting trial decreased by 372 inmates to 22,764, and the number of sentenced inmates awaiting transfer to State Institutions decreased by 160 inmates to 3,118.

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

CAPACITY OF COUNTY JAILS

*NOTE: Only 101 counties reported data for January 1987 while 80 counties reported data for March 1996; therefore, data is not shown for these two months. The capacity dropped significantly in October 2002 after Clayton County closed 890 beds because of staffing shortages.
