Georgia Correctional Industries (GCI) is an integral part of the success of the Georgia Department of Corrections. GCI employs approximately 1,000 offenders. During their incarceration, they learn work ethics, job skills, and earn a paycheck under the PIE Program. With supervision provided by the GCI staff, GCI factories manufacture competitive products, ranging from furniture to janitorial supplies. Our goal is to provide on the job training that once released the offenders will not reoffend. Whenever you have a need that can be fulfilled by GCI...Buy GCI.
