SUBJECT: County Jail Report July 2008

Enclosed is the County Jail Inmate Report for July 2008. This report reflects the inmate population on July 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 July 2008, the number of inmates held in county jails increased by 1,123 inmates to 40,851. The capacity decreased by 10 and is now 41,759. It was 41,769; Treutlen County had to close their old jail. Treutlen County's new capacity is 8, was 18. The number of inmates awaiting trial increased by 932 inmates to 24,372, and the number of sentenced inmates awaiting transfer to State Institutions increased by 75 inmates to 4,444.

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