The Atlanta Jail serves as a low/medium-security city detention center located at 254 Peachtree St in Southwest Atlanta, GA. Operated locally by the police and sheriff's departments, it houses inmates and detainees awaiting trial or sentencing. Most sentenced inmates have terms of less than two years. The facility also accepts inmates from surrounding towns and occasionally from the US Marshal's Service.
New detainees are regularly admitted to the jail, with some being released on bail or placed under pretrial services caseloads. Others may be supervised by probation agencies or released on recognizance with a court appearance agreement. Those who remain in custody await their court appearances at the facility, receiving accommodations such as bedding and meals.

The Atlanta Department of Corrections has undergone significant evolution, transforming from managing a 700-bed prison farm to operating modern detention facilities. Established in 1913, the original prison farm provided vocational training to inmates, contributing to their rehabilitation and sustenance. Over the years, the department's focus shifted towards professionalism and rehabilitation, leading to the creation of the Bureau of Correctional Services in 1975. This bureau emphasized meaningful rehabilitation services for offenders.
In 1995, the Atlanta City Detention Center (ACDC) was opened, featuring a progressive podular/direct supervision design. With an initial capacity of 1,100 beds and expansion to accommodate 1,300 inmates, the ACDC allowed for the consolidation of pretrial and sentenced offenders. The closure of the aging prison farm was a significant transition, reflecting the department's commitment to efficiency and modernization.
Further changes occurred in 2003 when responsibility for the detention of state offenders was transferred to neighboring county jails, reducing the department's scope of operations. The closure of the Annex and its repurposing to serve the homeless population underscored the department's adaptive approach to changing needs.
Despite these shifts, the department remains dedicated to providing safe, secure, and humane correctional services while continually evaluating and adjusting its strategies to meet evolving challenges and demographic shifts.
