=== DEATHS IN CUSTODY ===
Deaths in custody, GDC annual reports
Series: deaths-gdc-annual-reports Unit: count Period: fiscal_year Coverage: 1952-1994
Publisher: Georgia Department of Corrections
Instrument: GDC / Board of Corrections annual reports, movement-of-population and departures tables
Measures: Deaths of people in state custody during the fiscal year, as the annual report printed them, excluding executions.
Caveat: The label changes: 'Deaths (Except Executions)' through FY1971, 'Normal Death' FY1972-FY1981 (the only non-execution death line in those tables, but the label leaves open whether killings were counted), 'Died in Prison' from FY1982. Not one continuous measure.
BREAK at FY1972: From FY1972 the annual reports print 'Normal Death' instead of 'Deaths (Except Executions)'.
BREAK at FY1982: From FY1982 the reports print 'Died in Prison'.

Prison related deaths, GDC results reported in the Governor's Budget Report
Series: deaths-gdc-opb-budget-reports Unit: count Period: fiscal_year Coverage: 1998-2002
Publisher: Georgia Office of Planning and Budget
Instrument: Governor's Budget Report, Department of Corrections Results-Based Budgeting, Desired Result 1b 'Prison related deaths per 100,000 inmates' (Actual deaths / Mortality rate)
Measures: Actual prison related deaths for the fiscal year as GDC reported them to OPB in the budget report. The report does not define 'prison related' or say whether executions or county/private prisons are included.
Caveat: Reported result, not a mortality-registry count; never merged with the BJS calendar-year or GDC annual-report series. FY2000 conflicts across reports (FY2002 report prints a rate of 91 for FY2000 actual, later reports 96 deaths / 240): later report used, earlier noted.

Inmate deaths by cause, 1979 BJS census of state adult correctional facilities (Georgia facility totals, calendar year 1978)
Series: deaths-bjs-census-calendar-year Unit: count Period: calendar_year Coverage: 1978-1978
Publisher: Bureau of Justice Statistics
Instrument: BJS Census of State Adult Correctional Facilities, 1979, facility-level microdata (ICPSR 7852), Q.21. GPS sums over the Georgia facilities.
Measures: Inmates who died during calendar year 1978 in Georgia's facilities, by cause and sex, as the facilities reported them to the November 1979 census.
Caveat: Facility self-reports from 25 Georgia facilities, asked in 1979 about calendar 1978. The total (10) is well below GDC's own annual-report death counts for nearby years (FY1979 'Normal Death' 48), so it is very likely not a complete count of deaths in custody; do not use it as one. Calendar-year period, so kept apart from the fiscal-year census deaths series. Derived totals only (ICPSR terms).

Deaths reported in the BJS census of state correctional facilities

Publisher: Bureau of Justice Statistics
Instrument: Census of State (and Federal) Adult Correctional Facilities, 1984, 1990, 1995
Measures: Deaths of inmates in Georgia's correctional facilities during the 12 months ending June 30 of the census year, by cause, as reported in the facility census.
Caveat: Facility-reported and scoped to the facilities in the census; not comparable with GDC's or BJS's other death counts (the 1984 census gives 9 deaths in confinement facilities, far below GDC's own count).

=== VIOLENCE AND ASSAULTS ===
Inmate-initiated assaults (on inmates and on staff combined), GDC results in the Governor's Budget Report
Series: assaults-inmate-initiated-gdc-opb Unit: count Period: fiscal_year Coverage: 1998-2002
Publisher: Georgia Office of Planning and Budget
Instrument: Governor's Budget Report, Department of Corrections Results-Based Budgeting, Desired Result 1a
Measures: Actual number of inmate-initiated assaults in the fiscal year; the report's note says the measure includes inmate on inmate assaults and inmate on staff assaults.
Caveat: Combined measure; cannot be split. Not the same as GDC's own annual-report dashboard series (inmate-on-inmate and inmate-on-staff separately, FY2017-18) and never one line with it. The FY2002 report printed a different-scale FY2000 rate (0.059 per inmate) for a similarly named target; not ingested.

Inmate-inflicted assaults, BJS census of state adult correctional facilities (Georgia facility totals)
Series: assaults-bjs-census-fy Unit: count Period: fiscal_year Coverage: 1984-2000
Publisher: Bureau of Justice Statistics
Instrument: BJS Census of State (and Federal) Adult Correctional Facilities 1984, 1990, 1995 and 2000, facility-level microdata (ICPSR 8444, 9908, 6953, 4021). GPS sums each census year over the Georgia facilities.
Measures: Assaults by inmates on staff and on other inmates that Georgia's facilities reported to the census for the 12 months to June 30 of the census year (FY1995: the annual period ending between July 1, 1994 and June 30, 1995). Each value is the sum of the facility responses.
Caveat: Facility self-reports; the wording changed between censuses (1984 'recorded by prison officials'; 1990 'major incidents', excluding minor incidents and tickets; 1995 and 2000 'inmate-inflicted physical or sexual assaults'), so do not read one trend across the years. The FY1995 totals (2 on staff, 4 on inmates) are what Georgia's facilities reported and are far below every neighbouring census year and below GDC's own counts: treat them as not comparable. Never merged with GDC's own counts or the budget-report series. Derived totals only; the raw microdata is under ICPSR terms and is not published.
BREAK at FY1990: From 1990 the question counts 'major incidents', excluding tickets, official warnings and other minor incidents.
BREAK at FY1995: From 1995 the question asks for inmate-inflicted physical or sexual assaults; Georgia's reported counts fall to 2 and 4 that year.
