Georgia State Prison was the main maximum-security facility in the US state of Georgia for the Georgia Department of Corrections. It was located in unincorporated Tattnall County.[1] First opened in 1938, the prison housed some of the most dangerous inmates in the state's history, and it was the site of Georgia's death row until 1980.
Despite a published capacity of 1,530,[2] the facility housed approximately 1,900 inmates,[3] with a wide range of security levels from Minimum to Close. The last warden was Trevonza Bobbitt.[3]
The historic prison building stands at 300 1st Avenue South near Reidsville, Georgia. The state's extensive farm operation, Rogers State Prison, is also nearby - about a mile away.
