      typically achieved by double-bunking, converting day rooms, and adding beds
      to areas originally designed as common space. "Original Design Capacity" is
      what the facility was architecturally designed to hold.

DESCRIPTION: Hays State Prison in Trion is a close-security men’s facility that the Department describes as housing some of the state’s “most challenging offenders.” Opened in 1990, it includes several general-population dorms, a Fast Track unit, multiple Tier II special-management dorms, an outside fire station and infirmary, and large numbers of Level-II mental-health beds. Hays has been the site of numerous homicides and assaults, and has been repeatedly cited for failures in lock security, staffing, and protection of prisoners in so-called protective custody.

DESCRIPTION: Metro Reentry Facility in Atlanta occupies the renovated former Metro State Prison and is dedicated to reentry rather than long-term warehousing. Reopened in 2018 under the state’s prisoner-reentry initiative, it houses roughly 300–350 men who are within a defined window of release or parole eligibility. The facility focuses on intensive programming – including cognitive-behavioral classes, job-readiness and vocational training, education and life-skills courses, and family-reunification support – with the stated goal of reducing recidivism by preparing participants for a supervised return to the community.

FACILITY: GDC Hidden Deaths
SHORT NAME: Hidden Deaths
TYPE: Unknown
SECURITY LEVEL: Unknown/N/A
GENDER: Male
OPERATOR: Unknown
DESCRIPTION: This facility represents deaths that the Georgia Department of Corrections reported in aggregate statistics but refuses to identify by name, facility, or cause of death. These individuals died in GDC custody, but the state has made them invisible. GPS created this entry to ensure they are counted — because no death in state custody should go unrecorded.
