Two inmates in Jackson County to be released during August 2022

4edited

Two inmates in Jackson County will be released from the custody of the Georgia Department of Corrections during August 2022.

The inmate being released that served the longest amount of time was Alvin George Bloodworth Jr. for Burglary in the First Degree. Alvin George Bloodworth Jr. spent more than 12 years incarcerated.

Georgia imprisons a higher percentage of its population than any other democracy in the world, locking up 968 per 100,000 people.

State’s spend between $25,000 and $30,000 on average annually on incarcerated individuals.

Georgia’s crime rate increased in recent years, leading to higher incarceration numbers and more taxpayer money spent on prisoners.

Accusations of mistreatment of inmates, riots, deadly assaults on inmates, attacks on correctional officers, and concerns about the poor physical condition of the facilities are a continual problem in Georgia.

Inmates are often transferred around the state of Georgia, which can create data irregularities.
