Locate Spalding County Correctional Institution Inmates

Spalding County Correctional Institution Overview

Spalding County Correctional Institution, often shortened to SCCI, is operated by the Spalding County Board of Commissioners and County Manager under Georgia Department of Corrections policies and contract. It is a county correctional institution holding sentenced state inmates. That makes it different from Spalding County Detention Center, where new arrests, pretrial detainees, City of Griffin jail custody, and local transfer holds are handled.

The county says the original institution began as a work camp in 1952 at the current Public Works Department site. The current location was built in 2001. SCCI still has a strong work-detail role. The county describes it as both a corrections facility and a workforce support facility for local government departments, school-system work, city work, and partner agencies. Inmate lookup for SCCI follows the state prison path because the people housed here are Georgia state inmates.

The official county SCCI page is shown in this screenshot from the successful manifest capture at Spalding County Correctional Institution.

The county page is the local facility source for SCCI contact, history, programs, PREA links, and the separate inmate service pages under the correctional institution section.

SCCI Capacity and Population

The strongest population source for Spalding County Correctional Institution is the 2025 PREA audit linked from the county page. It lists a designed capacity of 384, current population of 219 at the audit, average daily population of 230, seven housing units, and minimum and medium security levels. The county public page separately says SCCI houses approximately 225 inmates in compliance with applicable policies and procedures.

Look Up SCCI State Inmates

Use the Georgia Department of Corrections Find an Offender page or the direct GDC Offender Query for SCCI inmates. Do not use the Spalding County P2C jail roster for SCCI unless the person is also in county jail custody. P2C is for current Spalding County Jail custody; GDC is for sentenced Georgia state offender location, status, and sentence information where public.

1. Open the GDC offender search landing page or direct query form.
2. Search by GDC ID if known, or use first and last name.
3. Use case number, sex, race, age, or date-of-birth filters when the form offers them.
4. Review the offender profile for current facility assignment and state custody status.
5. Confirm the listed facility is Spalding County Correctional Institution before using SCCI mail, money, or visitation rules.

The official GDC offender query form is the matched state locator screenshot for sentenced inmates.

The GDC query is the correct locator for SCCI because the facility holds state inmates under Georgia correctional rules, not current county-jail bookings.

SCCI Address and Contact

SCCI is located near the county jail but is not the same facility. The address is 295 Justice Blvd, while the sheriff's Detention Center is at 401 Justice Blvd. Families should use the SCCI phone and county correctional institution pages for state-inmate questions about this facility, and should use the sheriff's jail phone only for current county-jail custody.

Visiting SCCI State Inmates

Spalding County's SCCI section has a separate visitation application page and links a criminal-history consent form. The research did not locate a public weekly visit-hours table for SCCI, so fixed visit days should not be invented. Because SCCI is a state-inmate correctional institution, visitation uses an approval and scheduling model closer to state prison custody than to the county jail's video-only visitation system.

Note: Approval rules can change by custody status, discipline, and GDC policy, so confirm before each planned visit.

SCCI Mail Money Packages

The county correctional institution section has separate pages for inmate mail, sending money to inmates, and inmate packages. The research did not extract every vendor field or fee from those pages, so the SCCI page should route users to those county pages and the facility phone rather than borrowing jail account rules.

SCCI Work Details

The county says SCCI has about 65 inmate details and about 150 medium or minimum-security state inmates assigned to work inside Spalding County. Work supports Public Works, Water Authority, Parks and Recreation, Animal Control, Construction and Maintenance, Senior Center Kitchen and Meals on Wheels, Griffin-Spalding County School System, Georgia State Patrol posts in Griffin and Thomaston, Griffin Police Department, Griffin City Cemetery, City Water Department, City Motor Pool, and Henry County Public Works.

• Road and grounds work such as grass cutting, trash pickup, road signs, asphalt, bridges, ditches, ball fields, and parks.
• Shop and facility work such as automotive tasks, maintenance-shop work, laundry, and janitorial services.
• Public service assignments, including a 10-inmate Fire Squad certified by Spalding County Fire Services.

These details are part of why the facility should be described as a state-inmate county correctional institution rather than a normal booking jail. The county's own history ties SCCI back to the 1952 work camp and its current local-government workforce role.

SCCI Programs and PREA

SCCI program details are stronger than the public jail program details. The county lists GED preparation classes through Southern Crescent Technical College and Three Rivers Regional Commission Workforce Services. It also lists Moral Reconation Therapy, re-entry skills, Motivation for Change, religious services, and on-the-job training through Central Georgia Technical College in landscaping, cooking, baking, janitorial work, small engine repair, sign fabrication, mechanics, and laundry.

Qualified inmates may participate in a welding certificate program through Southern Crescent Technical College and Three Rivers. The county also links 2022 and 2025 PREA audit reports. PREA is the federal Prison Rape Elimination Act standards framework, and the audit documents are the recent official condition source for SCCI housing, population, screening, reporting, and safety review.

From Jail to SCCI

A person arrested in Spalding County usually starts in the county jail workflow if held locally. The jail roster shows current custody, arrest charge, arrest date, booking agency, and bond where eligible. If the person is convicted and sentenced to state custody, the person may leave the Detention Center and enter GDC intake and classification. After state assignment, the person may appear in GDC search and may be assigned to SCCI if appropriate.
