Located at 2100 Kings Chapel Rd in Perry, GA, McEver PDC carefully assigns inmates based on their custody level, considering factors like criminal history. McEver PDC offers diverse educational and vocational programs aimed at equipping offenders for successful reintegration into society and reducing recidivism. Through these initiatives, inmates gain skills and confidence, fostering personal growth and resilience.

McEver Probation Detention Center (PDC) serves as a vital component of Georgia's criminal justice system, offering a minimum-security environment for confining probationers for up to 180 days. Established as a sentencing alternative to jail or prison, McEver PDC provides a structured setting where probationers receive supervision and engage in programming aimed at facilitating their successful reintegration into the community. If probationers are unable to fulfill their obligations in the community, they may be directed to the detention center as a result of revocation proceedings.

As part of the state's efforts to provide effective sanctions for probationers requiring enhanced security or supervision, McEver PDC is one of seven male facilities and two female facilities currently operational. With a total capacity of 2,300 beds, including 470 designated for female probationers, McEver PDC contributes significantly to the state's probationary system.

The center maintains a highly structured environment characterized by regimented schedules that include supervised, unpaid work details in surrounding communities. Emphasizing military-style discipline, McEver PDC aims to instill accountability and responsibility in its probationer population, fostering positive behavioral changes and promoting successful community living.

Key characteristics of McEver PDC include short-term programs ranging from 60 to 180 days in duration, with an average stay of 90 days for probationers with no behavioral issues. Probationers are required to participate in work details, both inside and outside the facility, for five days per week. Inside work details encompass various tasks such as food service, horticulture, auto-body, maintenance, and sanitation duties.

Community work details, conducted under supervision, involve probationers in building, refurbishing, and maintaining prison and civic buildings, road work, cleaning public facilities, and participating in recycling initiatives. These work assignments not only contribute to the probationers' rehabilitation but also serve the broader community by addressing essential infrastructure and maintenance needs.

Programming at McEver PDC ranges from minimal education improvement to evidence-based treatment programs tailored to probationers' specific needs and court-ordered requirements. This includes programs focusing on motivation for change, substance abuse counseling (primarily Alcoholics Anonymous and Narcotics Anonymous), life skills development, job readiness training, group counseling, personal health education, and educational attainment through GED and Adult Basic Education courses.

Through its comprehensive approach to rehabilitation and reentry, McEver Probation Detention Center plays a crucial role in promoting public safety and reducing recidivism rates among probationers in the state of Georgia.
