SUBJECT: County Jail Report August 2008

Enclosed is the County Jail Inmate Report for August 2008. This report reflects the inmate population on August 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 August 2008, the number of inmates held in county jails increased by 588 inmates to 41,439. Total capacity increased by 284 to 42,043. This change is result of a letter that was recently sent to Sheriffs advising them to update their county jail's capacity. There might be more changes next month. Also, please note that some jails decreased their capacity. The following jails changed their capacity: Bulloch County (387 capacity was 106), Glynn County (444 capacity was 344), Douglas County (485 capacity was 810), Dawson County (200 capacity was 120), Hart County (50 capacity was 53), Floyd County (838 capacity was 790), Rabun County (102 capacity was 96), Coffee County (218 capacity was 188), Lincoln County (81 capacity was 92), Union County (57 capacity was 54), Screven County (176 capacity was 150), Liberty County (300 capacity was 252), Jeff Davis County (64 capacity was 68), and McDuffie County (222 capacity was 217). The number of inmates awaiting trial increased by 506 inmates to 24,878, and the number of sentenced inmates awaiting transfer to State Institutions increased by 124 inmates to 4,568.
