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 Athens-Clarke County Department of Corrections effectively meets all labor requirements for the unified government, providing substantial financial benefits by offsetting labor costs and, consequently, reducing the tax burden required to supply these services. Inmate labor significantly contributes to the government’s workforce, making the in-kind value of this labor surpass the operational expenses of the department, which benefits both Athens-Clarke County and its residents. Additionally, the Georgia Department of Corrections provides a daily subsidy to help cover the housing costs of each state inmate, further enhancing the department's financial efficiency.
The department is committed to preparing inmates for successful reintegration into society by providing necessary academic and community standards during their incarceration. Established in the late 1920s, the Clarke County Corrections Institution/Work Camp originally housed locally and state-sentenced inmates without capital sentences. These inmates contributed to county infrastructure by working on roads and bridges, maintaining right-of-ways, cleaning ditches, building and maintaining both dirt and paved roads, and operating a county asphalt plant from 1950 to 1970. Inmates also worked on a county farm, handling tasks related to farming and livestock care, including cows, goats, and hogs, and harvesting crops used to feed both the livestock and inmates. The institution provided housing and clothing for the inmates, whose labor supported the upkeep of county operations, including the courthouse and landfill, as well as performing various other duties.
The Food Service Division/Operations of the Department of Corrections operates a standalone food preparation center built with Special Purpose Local Option Sales Tax (SPLOST) funding in 2004. This center is staffed by inmates under the supervision of Correctional Officers and a Correctional Food Service Coordinator. It produces approximately 1,850 meals daily, prepared from scratch, at a cost-effective rate, for inmates housed at the Clarke County Jail and Corrections Institution. The facility is designed to accommodate additional meal preparation needs arising from any expansion of the jail population, corrections institution, or future housing units that might require inmate meals.
An inmate's release is determined by the Georgia State Board of Pardons and Paroles.
Athens-Clarke Corrections maintains a database of current inmates and their locations within the system. To locate an inmate, begin by using the DOC locator tool, which requires entering the first three letters of the inmate's first and last name, allowing for variations in spelling.
If unable to locate the desired information through free resources, users may opt to use the Arrest Record Search, which requires payment. While this option incurs a small fee, it provides access to the most up-to-date data available.
