SUBJECT: County Jail Report April 2008

Enclosed is the County Jail Inmate Report for April 2008. This report reflects the inmate population on April 3, 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 April 2008, the number of inmates held in county jails increased by 791 inmates to 38,476. The capacity remained the same, 41,553. The number of inmates awaiting trial increased by 384 inmates to 22,964, and the number of sentenced inmates awaiting transfer to State Institutions increased by 278 inmates to 3,927.

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