Find Bulloch County Correctional Institution Offenders

BCCI Offender Overview

Bulloch County Correctional Institution, often shortened to BCCI, is listed by the Georgia Department of Corrections as a medium-security facility for adult male felons. It sits in Bulloch County and has a county/GDC role, but it should not be treated as the same facility as Bulloch County Jail. People assigned to BCCI are searched through Georgia DOC tools, while recent arrests and pretrial jail detainees are searched through the sheriff-linked county roster.

The GDC facility page lists BCCI as constructed or opened in 1946 and renovated in 1989. It gives a capacity of 183, with five dormitories totaling 170 beds and five isolation or segregation cells totaling 13 beds. The stated mission is to house state and county offenders while providing labor support to Bulloch County Government. That makes BCCI a Georgia-specific custody category with a local address and state correctional records.

The image below comes from the official GDC BCCI facility page, which is the inspected source for capacity, security level, work details, and programs.

The GDC page gives strong facility facts, but it did not provide a complete local visitation, mail, phone, or money schedule in the captured text.

BCCI Capacity Census

BCCI's capacity should be read separately from Bulloch County Jail's capacity. The GDC facility page lists 183 as the BCCI capacity. The Bulloch County FY2025 Annual Comprehensive Financial Report lists the Correctional Institute average daily census as 155 for 2025. That comparison is more useful than combining BCCI with the jail because the sheriff's jail count covers a different legal population.

The ACFR trend shows a steady correctional-institute census, mostly in the 140 to 160 range from 2016 through 2025. FY2022 county budget material also said BCCI had been used since 1946 primarily as a work camp for state prisoners and noted that 160 of 170 prisoners housed were state prisoners in that budget narrative.

BCCI GDC Offender Lookup

Use the Georgia DOC Offender Query for people assigned to BCCI or another GDC-supervised facility. Georgia.gov's Find an Offender page makes the custody split clear: state-prison searches use the GDC system, while county jail searches use the county website. The Bulloch County Jail roster is not the primary lookup for sentenced offenders assigned to BCCI.

1. Open the Georgia DOC Offender Query form.
2. Search by last name and first name, or use GDC ID or case number if known.
3. Use filters such as gender, race, age range, county, offense, or most recent institution only when needed.
4. Open the result and check active status, major offense, sentence information, and most recent institution.
5. Call BCCI or GDC records if the online result does not match the custody question.

Typical GDC result data can include a photograph if available, name, GDC ID, year of birth, race, gender or sex, physical descriptors, active or inactive status, most recent institution, major offense, sentence dates, max possible release date, case number, and offense or sentence information. GDC also warns that online data should be verified through official records channels when accuracy is critical.

BCCI Address Contact

Use the facility contact for local custody, visiting, and operational questions after a GDC lookup points to BCCI. For statewide offender-record questions, the research also notes GDC's inmate-concern phone line at 404-656-4661 and GDC's written verification channel through Inmate Records and Information in Forsyth. Local facility staff are still the practical point of contact before travel or mail.

The address is close to the sheriff's jail campus on U.S. 301 North, but the two facilities should not be mixed. The jail at 17257 is the local detention and booking facility. BCCI at 17301 is the county correctional institution listed through GDC channels.

BCCI Visitation Rules

The inspected GDC facility page did not publish a BCCI-specific visiting schedule, approval form details, dress code, child-visitor rule, or holiday schedule in extractable text. Because BCCI is a state-prison or county correctional institution context, visitors should not assume the county jail visitation page applies. Call BCCI and check current GDC instructions before travel.

BCCI Mail Money

The local BCCI facility page lists address, mission, housing, work details, and programs, but the research did not capture a detailed local mail format, phone-call provider, video provider, commissary vendor, money-deposit vendor, or fee schedule. Do not name a vendor without official confirmation. Use BCCI's phone number for local instructions and GDC channels for statewide offender-record context.

If the person is not in GDC custody, return to the county jail roster or call the sheriff's office. If the person has a GDC profile but the most recent institution is not BCCI, follow the rules for the institution shown in the state result.

BCCI Programs Work

GDC lists several programs and work details for BCCI. Programs include GED, AA/NA, Motivation for a Change, recreation, religious services, and vocational or on-the-job training. Work details support county road maintenance, construction, and custodial services. These details help explain BCCI's role in Bulloch County government, but they are not lookup fields and do not replace an offender query result.

County budget material adds local context. The FY2022 budget described BCCI as being used since 1946 primarily as a work camp for state prisoners. It also reported an annual value of work performed by inmates of $3,077,620 for 2021 and an estimate of $3,600,815 for 2022. Those are historical budget measures, not current wage rates or program guarantees.

BCCI Jail Difference

BCCI and Bulloch County Jail are close in location but different in record scope. The jail handles local booking, bond, recent arrests, pretrial detention, county sentences, and some sentenced-to-state inmates awaiting transfer. BCCI handles adult male felons assigned through a county correctional institution context and is searched through GDC. A person can move from the jail to state custody after sentencing, but not every jail booking becomes a BCCI record.
