River State is right outside of Milledgeville, GA. It is in an area with 4 other prisons. The first time you go allow extra time to find the place cause people don't seem to be aware that their town has any prisions.

Other than that I don't know any particulars cause I just drive past it when I go up the hill to Bostic to see my guy. Good Luck
