GPS Contraband Data =================== What this is: every contraband arrest report the Georgia Department of Corrections has published on its own website (gdc.georgia.gov/contraband-report/...), 2016 to present, plus the 2017 reports that survive only in the Internet Archive, split into one row per incident with the department's own wording kept verbatim and a source URL on every row. Caveat: Each incident is an arrest or seizure as reported by the Georgia Department of Corrections in its own published contraband report. GDC does not publish dispositions; an arrest is not a conviction. Text is GDC's verbatim wording; the structured fields are GPS's extraction of that text. Source URL is on every row. Reports: 599 (recovered from the archive: 265) Incidents: 1615 Arrests as reported: 1549 People named or counted in incidents: 2369 of whom staff, officers or contract staff: 374 Contraband line items: 5250 Incident dates: 2010-05-28 to 2026-07-25 Last fetched from GDC: 2026-09-05 17:30:14 Names in structured rows: staff, officers and contract staff as printed by GDC; visitors, civilians, probationers, parolees and offenders are shown by category and role only (GPS policy, 2026-09-05) By year (incident date): year reports incidents arrests staff-class visitors civilians 2010 9 13 13 3 6 0 2011 43 133 132 21 54 0 2012 52 179 175 32 104 83 2013 43 118 114 42 53 39 2014 40 75 74 26 31 14 2015 34 65 65 30 37 2 2016 49 90 87 27 49 30 2017 45 90 88 20 53 29 2018 44 122 119 36 58 38 2019 45 137 131 46 23 86 2020 48 135 123 36 14 99 2021 46 145 145 24 6 116 2022 40 80 80 0 6 98 2023 29 61 55 4 6 80 2024 16 57 48 8 5 69 2025 15 85 72 11 5 113 2026 6 30 28 8 4 30 By facility (top 25 by incidents): CALHOUN STATE PRISON incidents 159 arrests 154 staff-class 28 visitors 36 civilians 137 ROGERS STATE PRISON incidents 150 arrests 147 staff-class 14 visitors 13 civilians 162 TELFAIR STATE PRISON incidents 132 arrests 124 staff-class 23 visitors 50 civilians 80 WILCOX STATE PRISON incidents 131 arrests 124 staff-class 26 visitors 38 civilians 86 SMITH STATE PRISON incidents 105 arrests 99 staff-class 20 visitors 52 civilians 36 DOOLY STATE PRISON incidents 77 arrests 74 staff-class 29 visitors 11 civilians 36 WARE STATE PRISON incidents 65 arrests 64 staff-class 17 visitors 22 civilians 25 HANCOCK STATE PRISON incidents 63 arrests 58 staff-class 15 visitors 17 civilians 49 JOHNSON STATE PRISON incidents 61 arrests 57 staff-class 13 visitors 21 civilians 42 HAYS STATE PRISON incidents 57 arrests 53 staff-class 11 visitors 38 civilians 13 VALDOSTA STATE PRISON incidents 56 arrests 53 staff-class 25 visitors 15 civilians 16 AUTRY STATE PRISON incidents 54 arrests 52 staff-class 12 visitors 26 civilians 21 GEORGIA STATE PRISON incidents 53 arrests 52 staff-class 16 visitors 25 civilians 16 WASHINGTON STATE PRISON incidents 51 arrests 49 staff-class 12 visitors 18 civilians 36 DODGE STATE PRISON incidents 47 arrests 46 staff-class 16 visitors 14 civilians 24 BALDWIN STATE PRISON incidents 39 arrests 35 staff-class 9 visitors 10 civilians 27 MACON STATE PRISON incidents 36 arrests 35 staff-class 9 visitors 15 civilians 14 MONTGOMERY STATE PRISON incidents 23 arrests 23 staff-class 2 visitors 9 civilians 18 COASTAL STATE PRISON incidents 22 arrests 22 staff-class 9 visitors 10 civilians 2 CENTRAL STATE PRISON incidents 20 arrests 19 staff-class 7 visitors 6 civilians 9 AUGUSTA STATE MEDICAL PRISON incidents 19 arrests 19 staff-class 12 visitors 5 civilians 0 LEE STATE PRISON incidents 15 arrests 15 staff-class 6 visitors 5 civilians 1 Arrendale State Prison incidents 14 arrests 13 staff-class 4 visitors 3 civilians 5 GEORGIA DIAGNOSTIC AND CLASSIFICATION STATE PRISON incidents 12 arrests 12 staff-class 5 visitors 7 civilians 2 COFFEE CORRECTIONAL FACILITY incidents 9 arrests 9 staff-class 3 visitors 2 civilians 6 Staff roles as GDC printed them (top 15): Officer 216 (arrested 209) Correctional Officer 52 (arrested 46) Food Service Supervisor 18 (arrested 17) Food Service Worker 11 (arrested 11) Nurse 6 (arrested 5) food service employee 5 (arrested 5) Cadet 3 (arrested 3) store clerk 3 (arrested 3) Cadet 3 (arrested 3) Lieutenant 3 (arrested 3) Food Service Contractor 2 (arrested 2) Counselor 2 (arrested 2) Food Service staff 2 (arrested 2) Staff member 2 (arrested 2) teacher 2 (arrested 2) Note on GDC's running tally: GDC's own cumulative "approximately N staff and civilians" line is stored per report as printed; it is not a consistent series across copies and must not be read as a trend.
