Georgia Department of Corrections: Budget & Spending Trends FY2022-FY2027
This compilation documents a dramatic escalation in Georgia Department of Corrections spending from FY2022 through FY2027, with total budgets rising from approximately $1.1 billion to nearly $1.8 billion—a 44% increase over four years driven primarily by healthcare contract expansions ($38.9M-$54.8M annual increases), infrastructure/security upgrades ($280M in AFY2025 alone), and staff compensation adjustments. Healthcare spending now represents the fastest-growing cost center, with physical health contract increases alone exceeding $47.8M in FY2027, while the prison population has rebounded from pandemic lows of ~42,795 to nearly 51,000 by early 2024. The Georgia Budget and Policy Institute's analyses highlight that these massive spending increases fail to address financial burdens on incarcerated Georgians—including $5 medical co-pays, commissary price increases, and unpaid prison labor—while regressive revenue streams and expanding carceral policies drive further population growth.
