About
Whitworth Women’s Facility in Hartwell is a medium-security women’s prison that opened in its current mission around 2013, using a remodeled 1990s-era campus. It has capacity for about 442 women in seven open dormitories plus a small number of segregation and isolation cells. Whitworth houses Level-II mental-health prisoners and offers GED and adult-basic-education classes along with limited vocational and treatment programs, functioning as one of Georgia’s smaller women’s facilities compared to Arrendale, Pulaski, and McRae.
