This page provides a visual overview of every correctional facility operated by the Georgia Department of Corrections (GDC). Each star on the map represents a state-run or privately contracted prison, while other icons mark transitional centers, treatment facilities, and probation detention centers. Together, they show the scale of Georgia’s prison network—spanning from the mountains of Trion to the southern fields of Ware County—and highlight where tens of thousands of lives are held behind bars across the state.
