Georgia State Prison

Background

Georgia State Prison was the main maximum-security facility in the US state of Georgia for the Georgia Department of Corrections. It was located in unincorporated Tattnall County. First opened in 1938, the prison housed some of the most dangerous inmates in the state's history, and it was the site of Georgia's death row until 1980. Despite a published capacity of 1,530, the facility housed approximately 1,900 inmates, with a wide range of security levels from Minimum to Close. The last warden was Trevonza Bobbitt.
