SUBJECT: County Jail Report September 2008

Enclosed is the County Jail Inmate Report for September 2008. This report reflects the inmate population on September 4, 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 September 2008, the number of inmates held in county jails decreased by 194 inmates to 41,245. Total capacity increased by 121 to 42,164. This change is result of a letter that was recently sent to Sheriffs advising them to update their county jail's capacity. Also, please note that some jails decreased their capacity. The following jails changed their capacity: Muscogee County (1,069 capacity was 927), Washington County (52 capacity was 80), and Spalding County (547 capacity was 540). The number of inmates awaiting trial decreased by 128 inmates to 24,750, and the number of sentenced inmates awaiting transfer to State Institutions increased by 94 inmates to 4,662.

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