Under correctional officer security, these detainees provide a large number of work details to local governments in the surrounding area. These details perform all types of tasks, including roadside trash pick up, maintenance of municipal buildings and other public property and facilities. The benefits of detention centers are many, including the fact that they allow judges the option of sentencing probationers to a short term confinement program. They're also cost-effective and taxpayers receive the benefit of work details and the detainees learn the value of hard work at the same time. The Georgia Department of Corrections operates 15 probation detention centers across the State of Georgia.
Corrections work details save local taxpayers hundreds of thousands of dollars annually.
The ceremony will be held on the center grounds which are located at 2100 Kings Chapel Road, Perry, Georgia. The public is invited to attend. Turn left on Thompson Road and go through two traffic lights. The facility is on the left just past the second light in Perry.
