About
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.
