Search Hall County Correctional Institution Inmates

Hall County Correctional Institution Overview

Hall County Correctional Institution, also called Correctional Institute on the county page, is at 1698 Barber Road in Gainesville. It is operated by Hall County Community Safety as a county correctional institution under contract with the Georgia Department of Corrections. The county page lists Warden Dennis Udzinski and describes the facility as housing state offenders assigned through GDC. GDC also lists Hall County Correctional Institution as a contact page with primary phone 770-718-2370 and fax 770-718-2371.

This facility is different from Hall County Jail. The jail at 1700 Barber Road is the local pretrial and booking facility tied to the P2C roster. Hall County Correctional Institution houses state offenders, supplies inmate labor details to local government agencies, and operates the REACT reentry program for Hall and Dawson residents returning from state prison to the Northeastern Judicial Circuit.

Hall County CI Population

The Hall County page says the institution houses 152 inmates under contract with GDC. It also says GDC pays $22 per day per inmate, about $1.6 million annually. The institution supplies 40 to 50 inmate details daily to county, city, and government agencies, including Parks and Leisure, Road Maintenance, Resource Recovery, Solid Waste, Gainesville Public Works, and Gainesville Parks and Recreation.

The Hall County Correctional Institution page is the source for the contract population, work detail, and REACT program facts.

The county source is central because it explains the facility's state-offender role and local work programs.

Lookup Hall County CI Inmates

The correct lookup channel for Hall County Correctional Institution is the Georgia Department of Corrections offender query. A person may begin in Hall County Jail as a pretrial detainee, then appear as sentenced or state inmate while awaiting transfer. Once moved into GDC custody or a county correctional institution under GDC contract, use GDC records rather than the county P2C roster alone.

1. Open the GDC offender query.
2. Search by GDC ID or offender number when known, or by first and last name.
3. Review the facility field to confirm Hall County Correctional Institution or another GDC placement.
4. Use the facility contact page for phone and address details after confirming placement.
5. If the person was only recently arrested in Hall County, check the county P2C roster first because transfer may not have occurred.

Hall County CI Contact

Hall County Correctional Institution sits next to the jail on the Barber Road campus, but it has a separate address and phone. Use this facility contact for state-offender facility questions after confirming placement through GDC. Use Hall County Jail only for current local jail custody before transfer.

Hall County CI Visitation

Hall County Correctional Institution uses state-offender visitation rules, not the Hall County Jail video-visitation schedule. The CI visitation instructions route visitors to the GDC Friends & Family / Visit an Inmate process and require a visitation request form. Required documentation can include photo ID, a birth certificate for children 15 or younger, and a notarized GCIC/NCIC consent form for visitors age 16 and older. Forms are mailed to Attention Counselor at the facility address.

Hall County CI Programs

The REACT program began in 2014 and serves Hall and Dawson residents returning from state prison to the Northeastern Judicial Circuit. It targets people with two to three years left on sentence, often drug or nonviolent offenders, but considers county-camp-eligible offenders. Hall County describes county-camp eligibility as less than 13 years left, no sex offenders, no serious violent offenders, no serious medical issues, no mental-health issues, and no escape charges in the past five years.

• Motivation for Change, Re-Entry, and Moral Recognition Therapy.
• RSAT, GED, ABE, AA/NA, and Celebrate Recovery.
• Financial Peace, Georgia's Best workforce skills, and Welding Certificate Program.
• Mentoring and local reentry support for Hall and Dawson residents.

Mail PREA and Reporting

Hall County Correctional Institution's PREA material states zero tolerance for sexual abuse, sexual harassment, and sexual activity involving offenders. Reports may be made in person, by phone, or in writing, including anonymous reports. Offenders can call *7732 from any offender phone without a PIN. Others may call the GDC PREA Hotline at 1-888-992-7849 or Hall CI at 770-718-2370. Written reports can go to the Warden or PREA Compliance Coordinator at the facility, or to statewide GDC reporting addresses listed in the research.

These reporting channels apply to facility safety and conditions, not routine custody lookup.

Jail Transfer Context

A Hall County arrest may start in the county jail, but a state sentence can move the person into GDC custody or a GDC-contract county correctional institution. Hall County property rules say any inmate found guilty and classified as a state inmate must have personal property picked up within 10 working days or it will be disposed of. That is a useful sign that the person may be leaving ordinary county jail custody and should be checked in GDC instead.

For local booking records before transfer, use Hall County jail and records channels. For state placement after transfer, use the GDC offender query and Hall County Correctional Institution contact details.

The distinction is especially important for visits and money. Hall County Jail uses video visitation and jail money rules, while Hall County Correctional Institution routes visitors through GDC-style approval forms and facility-specific rules. A person moving from the jail to the correctional institution may also need property picked up from the jail within the county's state-inmate property window. Confirm the current facility before mailing forms, scheduling a visit, or sending funds.
