The Chatham County GA Detention Center is a medium-security detention center located at 1050 Carl Griffin Drive Savannah, GA which is operated locally by the Chatham County Sheriff's Office and holds inmates awaiting trial or sentencing or both. Most of the sentenced inmates are here for less than two years. Chatham County accepts inmates from surrounding towns, municipalities, the US Marshal's Service and the Savannah Police Department who do not have their own long-term lock-up.
Chatham County GA Detention Center - Prison vs. Jail
The Corrections Bureau of the Chatham County Sheriff's Department, and its inmate population, has significantly evolved over the past 30 years. For 90 years the jail was located on Habersham Street next to the Police Department. Its capacity was approximately 300 inmates and averaged about 270 inmates daily. The average daily female population was 18 which seems low when compared to the 167 average daily population for 2004.
In 1988 the Chatham County Detention Center opened off of Chatham Parkway and in 1989 it became necessary to expand that facility to handle the volume of inmates we were receiving.
The building boasts a 1224 bed that was supposed to handle the inmate population without fear of overcrowding until the year 2010. Unfortunately over capacity has led to the department seeking alternatives to incarceration.
The 2008 average daily population for the Chatham County Detention Center was 1739 inmates. We are planning on the future while at the same time working on ways to divert inmates from incarceration that could be better handled in other ways such as through work release programs as well as through mental health centers.
