General Information The purpose of these profiles is to provide basic information about the Georgia Department of Corrections (GDC) facilities. This book addresses only the residential facilities. It does not cover services for the approximately 210,000 probationers who are on regular and/or intensive "street" probation, living in the community. Each facility has a primary mission or purpose and each supervises and manages its offenders somewhat differently depending on the mission and security classification. Capacity This is the official maximum operating offender capacity of the facility. County Correctional Institutions enter into a joint agreement with Georgia Department of Corrections each fiscal year to provide a designated number of beds for state offenders. The Warden, County Commissioner and Georgia Department of Corrections sign a Letter of Agreement concerning operation of the state beds. In return, Georgia Department of Corrections pays the county a per diem rate per state offender as set by legislation; currently, the rate is $20.00 per day. Housing The housing section provides a brief description of the types of offender housing. Dormitories are barracks-style rooms with rows of bunks. A single building may hold one or more dormitories. Pods generally are detached buildings with a number of rooms arranged in various ways; each room usually will contain a small number of bunks. Pods resemble clusters, which may have their own dining room, recreation area and other common areas as well. Ranges and cellblocks are rows of cells facing a common walkway. There may be two or more tiers of dormitory-style buildings used mainly for their relatively quick and easy construction. Work Details This section offers a brief description of the most significant job functions the facility performs. Offenders perform such work details as food service, building and grounds maintenance, janitorial, laundry, utilities, maintenance and sanitation duties. Those functions may or may not be noted in the Work Details section. Community service work details fall within these areas and are also represented. In addition, this includes the variety of skilled jobs in Correctional Industries, Offender Construction units, Food and Farm processing and the offender-manned fire stations that serve communities as well as the facility.

Specialized Functions Canine teams handle special tracking and/or drug detection dogs both for Georgia Department of Corrections and, when requested, outside law enforcement. Tactical squads consist of specially trained officers who react to major prison or community disturbances. Corrections Emergency Response Teams (CERT) are trained to respond assertively to incidents within the facility. Programs Rehabilitative, medical and other services available to offenders at the facility are generally described as academic, counseling (which includes substance abuse), recreation, religious activities and vocational/on-the-job training (OJT). Academic: General Education which includes literacy and math instruction:

The Special Education program is for those with learning handicaps. Literacy/Remedial Reading (LRR) is for those functioning below the fifth-grade reading level. Adult Basic Education (ABE) is for offenders functioning between the fifth-grade level and eighth-grade level. General Education Development (GED) is for those at or above the eighth-grade level without a high school diploma; completion of GED earns the student a high school equivalency diploma.

Counseling This is a very broad category of treatment. It may include sex-offender, positive mental attitude (PMA), or pre-release counseling to ease the return to free society. Additionally, it may include anger management and many others, along with substance abuse. It offers programs for those with alcohol/drug programs and may include Alcoholics and Narcotics Anonymous (AA/NA) and other treatment modes. It also includes individual, group counseling modes and Specialized Intervention Units (SID) where the participants live together in treatment communities and assist each other to overcome their problems.

Page 5: Facilities Descriptions .pdf

Religious Activities Offenders are assured religious freedom under the U.S. Constitution. Georgia Department of Corrections Chaplaincy Services will arrange to meet the need for any recognized faith, including services by and individual contact with ministers of that faith. Full-time and part-time chaplains also offer non-sectarian humanitarian assistance to any troubled offender. Religious instruction on the Bible, the Koran and other spiritual guides is available. Vocational/OJT This section provides information on training for a particular job skill - classroom, shop and/or on-the-job training (OJT) requirements. Completion leads to the same certification or diploma offered by a free society training program. Medical Offenders have the Constitutional right to adequate health care. This includes the provision of varying levels of onsite medical and dental care along with referrals to community providers as necessary. The following are provided:

Primary Care Infirmary Care Medical Diagnostics Chronic Care Acute Care Dental Care Mental Health

Page 6: Facilities Descriptions .pdf

Offender Security Classification Georgia offenders are assigned to a security level after a review of factors to include the offender's sentence, nature of the crime, criminal history, history of violence, medical and treatment risks and needs. The classification levels are: close, medium and minimum. In general, an offender will be reviewed daily for reclassification electronically. The three security classifications now used are set forth in the Rules and Regulations of the State Board of Corrections. These classifications, as paraphrased from the Rules and Regulations, are: Close Security

These offenders are escape risks, have assault histories, are considered dangerous and may have detainers for other serious crimes on file. (A detainer is a request by another law enforcement agency to hold an offender pending other charges or actions.) These offenders may never leave the prison, require supervision at all times by a correctional officer and are housed in prisons with high levels of security.

Medium Security

These offenders have no major adjustment problems and many may work outside the prison fence, but must remain under constant supervision. This is the largest category of offenders.

Minimum Security

These offenders tend to abide by prison regulations, present a minimal risk of escape and have been judged to be a minimal threat to the community. Offenders in this security level may work outside the fence under minimal supervision. Often offenders assigned to this level have proven to be trustworthy, cooperative and have no alcohol/drug problems. Minimum security offenders are eligible for transitional centers.

Page 7: Facilities Descriptions .pdf

State Prisons

State prisons house violent, repeat criminals or nonviolent offenders who have exhausted all other forms of punishment. Judges may sentence offenders directly to prison or they may be sent as a result of revocation proceedings. There are 30 state prisons, three of which are designated for women. Offenders in state prisons have access to classes and other services that allow them to reduce their risk to the community. Offenders who are able-bodied are also assigned to work details. These may be connected to the on-going operation of the facility (such as cooking, cleaning, laundry, or making general repairs around the facility) or to more specialized details. Among these specialized details are:

● Food and Farm Operations: Over 5,000 offenders work on prison farms or work in preserving, preparing and serving foods.

● Offender Construction: Offender crews serve the construction needs of Corrections, other state agencies and communities. Carefully supervised, skilled offenders are temporarily housed in nearby facilities while completing approved renovation or remodeling jobs around the state.

● Fire Services: Specially selected minimum security offenders may be chosen to work in the prison fire stations responding to prison and rural fire emergencies.

● Community Work Details: Under supervision, low security offenders build, refurbish and maintain prison and civic buildings, perform roadwork, clean public buildings and schools, and work at recycling centers and landfills.

● Correctional Industries: Up to 1,800 offenders are selected to receive on-the-job training which includes metal fabrication, optics, printing, license plates, footwear, woodworking, screen printing, upholstery, garment and chemical production.

Private Prisons The Georgia Department of Corrections currently has contracts with two private companies to house over six thousand five hundred offenders. In 1997, through a bid process, Georgia Department of Corrections entered into a contract with Corrections Corporation of America (CCA) to build and operate private prisons in Alamo (Wheeler Correctional Facility) and in Nicholls (Coffee Correctional Facility). Both facilities opened in the fall of 1998. The Department contracted once more with CCA to open and operate another private prison in Millen (Jenkins Correctional Facility), which opened in March 2012. All three have been a part of the corrections continuum in Georgia since that time. These private prisons are accredited by the American Correctional Association (ACA) and by the Medical Association of Georgia (MAG) as required by contract. The other contract is with The Geo Group, Inc. to build and operate a private prison in Milledgeville (Riverbend Correctional Facility), which opened in December 2011. Georgia Department of Corrections has a full-time Private Prison Monitor on site at each private facility overseeing the facility's operations to ensure that all contract conditions are met and that the facility operates with a continuous focus on sanitation, safety and security. Just as in Georgia Department of Corrections facilities, offenders work on full time details and are afforded the opportunity to participate in a wide variety of educational classes and counseling programs. Transitional Centers After a term in prison, selected offenders are slowly reintegrated back into society with a job and enhanced prospects for stability. Research has shown that offenders who have the opportunity to re-enter the community after a stay in a transitional center are up to ⅓ more likely to succeed in maintaining a crime-free life. There are over two thousand five hundred transitional center beds available statewide. Either the State Board of Pardons and Paroles or the prison staff must refer an offender for the program. The decision about which offenders to send to a transitional center is based on criminal history, behavior while incarcerated and a number of other factors. One function of the transitional centers is to provide "work release", allowing the offender to obtain a paying job in the community while requiring him or her to conform to the structure of the center. The offender lives in the center, participates in a number of programs and completes assignments which contribute to the upkeep of the center. The wages earned by work release offenders are sent directly to the center. Employers are required to deduct taxes as appropriate and a portion of the wages is applied to room and board.

Page 9: Facilities Descriptions .pdf

Residential Substance Abuse & Integrated Treatment Facilities Centers RSAT is a nine-month Residential Substance Abuse Treatment program, which targets high risk, high needs offenders with a history of substance abuse as a causative factor leading to correctional supervision. The goal of the RSAT program is to return to society a graduate who is a law abiding, self-supporting, pro-social citizen, thereby reducing recidivism. Integrated Treatment Programs are nine-month programs that actively combine substance abuse interventions and interventions to address mental disorders, with the goal of treating the whole person more effectively by treating both mental health and substance disorders in order to reduce recidivism. Length of Stay The average length of stay at a transitional center is nine to twelve months for residents who represent no unacceptable risk to the safety of the community. When offenders are assigned to a transitional center, they are required to go through a 30-day orientation period before they can participate in the work release portion of the program. During this time, residents attend classes tailored to their particular needs and help make them ready for employment. These classes include drug and alcohol education, employment instruction, communication skills and financial management. Employment Once the orientation phase is completed, residents are ready for employment. Jobs are found in the community with the help of a job coordinator who, together with other center personnel, screen applicants for certain jobs. They also assist employers with special problems that may arise. In turn, employers are asked to give periodic performance reports to measure each resident's progress in the work force. Once offenders are employed, they must pay 30 percent of their salary for room and board, but not to exceed $90 weekly. In addition, they pay federal, state and local taxes. Of the fees collected at the transitional centers, over $1.2 million is returned to the state annually. Thus, not only is the resident gaining from this program, the taxpayers of Georgia are profiting as well.

Boot Camp

The Boot Camp programs focus on military regimens combined with a full day's work and includes comprehensive programming in the evening hours. Emphasis is placed on substance abuse programming. Training is also provided in academic education, life skills and release preparation. The Boot Camp Plus program is very similar to the Boot Camp Program but is mainly intended for drug offenses only. Another difference is that offenders assigned here may have had one prior felony except for the offenses listed on page 10. (If the current sentence is not a drug charge only, he will not qualify.) Georgia law and departmental policy identify eligibility criteria for boot camp candidates as follows:

• Must be a male not less than 17 and not more than 35 years of age, at the time of sentencing

• Has no previous period of incarceration in an adult penal institution • Has to serve no less than 9 months and no more than 5 years in prison • Has no known contagious or communicable disease • Has no known physical limitation that would exclude strenuous labor and

physical activity • Has no known mental disorder or retardation that would prevent

participation in a program which requires intensive interaction and strenuous physical activity

Georgia law and departmental policy identify eligibility criteria for boot camp plus candidates as follows:

• Must be a male not less than 17 and not more than 40 years of age, at the time of sentencing

• Must have at least 25 months but not more than 5 years to serve in prison • Has no known contagious or communicable disease • Has no known physical limitation that would exclude strenuous labor and

physical activity • Has no known mental disorder or retardation that would prevent

participation in a program which requires intensive interaction and strenuous physical activity

Page 11: Facilities Descriptions .pdf

In order to be recommended for Boot Camp the offender can not have committed any of the following offenses currently or in the past:

Aggravated: Assault, Battery, Child Molestation, Sodomy or Stalking Armed Robbery Arson, 1st Degree Child Molestation Criminal Gang Activity Cruelty to Children Enticing a Child for Indecent Purposes Feticide Hijacking of Motor Vehicle Homicide by Vehicle (Felony) Incest Involuntary Manslaughter Kidnapping Murder Possession of a Firearm (if current offense) Possession of any Drug with Intent to Distribute Rape Residential Burglary (may have had probated sentence) Robbery (All types) Sale of any type of Drug Serious Injury by Vehicle (may have had probated sentence) Sexual Exploitation of Children Statutory Rape Trafficking of any Controlled Substance Voluntary Manslaughter

Page 12: Facilities Descriptions .pdf

Probation Detention Centers

The Georgia Department of Corrections operates 10 probation detention centers to provide short-term confinement of probationers in a secure, safe and work-oriented environment. A probation detention center (PDC) is a minimum-security facility for confining probationers, normally for a period of 60 to 120 days. Offenders may be sent directly to the center as a sentencing option or if they prove unable to fulfill their probation obligation in the community, may be sent to the detention center as a result of a revocation proceeding. Probation Detention Centers provide a sanctioning option for probationers who require more security or supervision than that provided by regular community supervision or a diversion center but may not qualify for a boot camp. The centers are highly structured with regimented schedules that include supervised, unpaid work in surrounding communities and programming geared toward making them more successful in the community. Housing The probation detention centers currently in operation over two thousand beds. One center houses women (approximately 230 beds). Typical features are:

Four open dormitories with bunk beds Multi-purpose program areas Support services area (laundry, food service, maintenance, medical care) Staff offices, work areas and security stations Perimeter fence around detainee access areas Maintenance and chemical storage buildings

Programming The following types of programming are available:

Academic Education Employment Preparation Group Counseling Personal Health Primary Health Care Substance Abuse

Page 13: Facilities Descriptions .pdf

Work Details The majority of Probation Detention Center detainees perform supervised work in the surrounding community. Most centers have contracts to provide details to local governments and to the Georgia Department of Transportation. Some detainees maintain the center through work details while a few other carefully screened detainees are assigned to jobs supervised by other governmental agencies.
