General Information on Georgia State Prisons and Correctional Institutions

[strongernow]

I have created threads for each State Prison and Correctional Institution in Georgia. You can use THIS thread as a "one stop shop" so you don't have to search through all the old posts in the forum to find what you are looking for. "Click" on the links below to go to the thread for the prison you are looking for information on.

There is a post in each thread contains General Information on the facility, ie: location, address, phone & fax numbers, inmate populations, security level, programs offered to inmates, directions to the facility and photo, if available. (In most of the threads this should be the first post, but in cases where I have merged old threads, it might be further down in the posts!)

If you have questions on a specific facility, please post your question in the thread for that facility so that your questions and any replies will be there for other members who might have the same questions. It is extremely helpful to have others experiences with facilities, who to contact there, etc. available for members and I think this will be a great way of having the information easily accessible. Also, if you receive any new information or find the directions to a certain facility are a little bit off, please send me PM with the updated information.

Feel free to post any additional information as a reply in these threads, of course seeing that it is accurate and current!

Does anyone have any information about County Jain in Cobb County Georgia?
A friend is supposed to go to court on Friday, 11-19 on a third DUI. We don't know how much time she will get. What can she take with her? How do telephone calls work from there? Can she have money on her books? Help, she's afraid as all of us were once... I know about the Federal system but not about the county...
Any help would be appreciated.. bkg54

A friend of mine is in Burrus Correctional Training Center---anyone have info concerning visitation or whether he can receive mail?Care packages?Thanks

[skicklighter]

I know this is not a state prison, but does anyone have information on Treutlen County Probation Detention Center? My 20 year old son has been sentenced to 6 months there for probation violation...drinking underage, his second offense. Seems way harsh to me. I know he needs to feel the consequences, but 6 months? Anyway, heard it was military style detention center, but what does that mean? Probation officer isn't much help with details.

Thanks.

Does anyone have information on Treutlen County Probation Detention Center or for any of the state probation detention centers? I'm trying to find out what the restrictions or rules are for our first visitation coming up next weekend and conditions there in general. My son is in for underage drinking and was assigned to a Level 3 dorm. Dorms are 1-6 depending on security level. I cannot understand why he would be assigned to a 3. He has had no misbehaviors while in there, nor has he ever been arrested for any violent act, drugs, burglary, assault, etc.

Thanks,
skicklighter

Hey Shiver! I'm also from Augusta, Ga. My boyfriend was at Burrus a few months ago.
Well-Kept Prison, but visitation- pretty strict. - Destined

My husband is in the Athens-Clarke county CI. I like it because it is only 60 miles from my house, it is not "over crowded". And it it pretty laid back compared to some of the other prisons that I have incountered. For example, I was very surprised that I could mail him a care package without a package slip. I can burn CD's from home and send them to him as long as they are in a case. I can even send stamps and writing supplies. Visitation is pretty easy, it is every Sunday and it is not rushed at all as long as there is space, you can stay as long as you like until visitation is over. And he loves his work detail, laundry room.
