About
Rogers State Prison near Reidsville is a medium-security men’s prison with a strong agricultural mission. Opened in the early 1980s and later expanded, it operates a large farm, dairy, canning plant, and meat production operation that supplies food to other Georgia prisons, relying heavily on unpaid or low-paid inmate labor. Housing consists of dormitories and cellblocks plus segregation units, and the prison has been implicated in past whistleblower reports about staff misconduct and unsafe conditions.
