While incarcerated, reading is often the best use of time. Please note that books and magazines, puzzles, and word searches ordered for inmates must come directly from the publisher. This policy ensures that the items are new, untampered, and comply with the facility's regulations. Prisons and jails enforce this rule to prevent the introduction of contraband or prohibited materials. By restricting orders to publishers, the facility can better maintain security and control over the content entering the institution. Any books or magazines not received directly from the publisher will be rejected and not delivered to the inmate. You may, however, send letters and selfies to inmates with this easy-to-use app, packages starting at only $8.00.
The Coweta County Prison, with a capacity of 216 beds, primarily houses state offenders assigned by the Georgia Department of Corrections through an annual contract approved by the Board of Commissioners. The Department of Corrections compensates the county at a rate of $22 per day per state offender, effective since July 1, 2019, marking the first increase in subsidy since 1999. County inmates typically originate from local courts and serve sentences of up to 12 months at the work release center, housing only healthy offenders due to work requirements.
Operated as a medium-security institution, the prison accommodates medium and minimum security level offenders, excluding registered sex offenders. Supervised by state-certified correction officers, skilled and semi-skilled offenders engage in various tasks under the Public Works Division, including road maintenance, fleet maintenance, and environmental management.
Authorized officers overseeing outside work details may carry weapons, though most details are unarmed, and only medium/minimum security level offenders participate. All work details are under the direct supervision of state-certified correction officers, empowered with the "power of arrest" regarding correctional matters. Offender labor contributes significantly to the county, saving taxpayers millions of dollars through diverse tasks such as mechanics, road maintenance, construction, landscaping, and animal care.
In addition to mandatory activities, offenders attend voluntary training sessions and programs, including re-entry initiatives, Motivation for Change (M4C), GED preparation, and a welding certification program certified by West Georgia Technical College. Various religious programs, including bible study and worship services, are also available.
While the prison is responsible for offender custody and care, they are typically assigned to details by the Road Department or Environmental Management, with complaints regarding road conditions directed to the Coweta County Public Works Department. Citizens are advised against leaving unauthorized items for offenders, as it may lead to felony charges.
Concerns or inquiries regarding offenders working on details can be addressed to the Warden's Office. The Coweta County Work Release Center, established in 2005, houses up to 64 state and county sentenced male offenders as an alternative to jail or prison sentences. Inmates are admitted through the Coweta County Jail or directly from court sentencing, following completion of an application process. State offenders nearing parole or release may transition to the work release center after a period at the county prison, provided they meet eligibility criteria and are approved by relevant authorities. Sex offenders and those convicted of serious felony offenses are generally not accepted into the program.
