Jail Quarantine Announcement
In response to some of the jail inmates coming back with positive Covid-19 tests we are quarantining the entire jail population effective today, October 14th. Even though these that have tested positive have been largely asymptomatic (not having bad symptoms like low oxygen levels etc.) we think it is prudent to quarantine to prevent the further spread.
​
You will still be able to do video visitation, phone calls, e-mails etc. with the folks in custody.
​
We have observed the mistruths that have been posted on social media the last couple of days, I can assure you that we are monitoring all the inmates in the facility and we are testing and following the state health departments guidelines and recommendations.
​
We provide medical care to the inmates that far exceeds what most of them receive while they are not in custody.
​
Please do not call and ask if your relative or loved one has tested positive, due to HIPPA regulations we cannot release this information to you. If the inmate tests positive they will be told the results of their test and they can share it with you if they wish.
​
Please do not believe everything you read on social media, some folks just like to spread rumors and panic when there is no need.
​
My jail staff and I took an oath, to protect and serve, this includes people who are incarcerated as well.
​
We take this oath very seriously and would never purposefully do anything to endanger the citizens of this county or their loved ones who might be in custody.
Your Sheriff, Clark Millsap
THOR Directory
The Transitional Housing for Offender Reentry (THOR) Directory is a directory of community-based housing for persons releasing from prison or on probation or parole. Facilities include Structured Housing (SH) and Recovery Residences (RR). The facilities contained herein have met DCS standards regarding safety, communication with agency staff, programming, employment, and other factors.
Structured Housing (SH) - Residents need a healthy and safe environment to live, but are not required to attend substance abuse services or substance abuse counseling.
Recovery Residences (RR) - Residents need a more restrictive environment than outpatient services to establish or maintain abstinence from alcohol and other drugs and criminal behavior. Designation as a recovery residence in THOR requires accreditation from a minimum of one of the following agencies: GARR, DCH, CARF, or JCAHO.
​
BCSO does not endorse the facilities contained in the Transitional Housing for Offender Reentry (THOR) Directory or the Reentry Partnership Housing Program (RPH) for any purpose other than for potential placement of inmates who reside in the state of Georgia.
​
Facilities not listed in either program may not be suitable placements for inmates, especially as a first residence out of jail or prison.
