Burruss Correctional Training Center Offender Lookup

Burruss Correctional Training Center Overview

Burruss Correctional Training Center is operated by the Georgia Department of Corrections at 1000 Indian Springs Drive in Forsyth. GDC classifies it as a medium-security state prison serving adult male felons. The facility page lists construction/opening in 1986, secure housing, work programs, rehabilitation programs, and support for public-agency work details around Forsyth and the Georgia Public Safety Training Center.

Burruss should not be confused with Monroe County Detention Center. The county jail receives local arrestees and pretrial detainees. Burruss is a state-prison facility for sentenced custody and related GDC populations, including youthful offenders sentenced as adults in the facility's published mission details.

Burruss Correctional Training Center Capacity and Population

GDC's public facility page lists Burruss capacity as 806. A newer GDC fact sheet and PREA-cycle material referenced in the research list physical capacity as 808 and general-population capacity around 700. The research also noted PREA/audit-related figures: a January 8, 2026 GDC warden-release context described approximately 742 male offenders, the PREA onsite audit count was 750 total with 43 youthful inmates, and the prior-12-month average daily population was 746. Those PREA and release figures are dated source-labeled population facts, not live counts.

How to Look Up an Offender at Burruss Correctional Training Center

The correct lookup for Burruss is the GDC Find an Offender page and linked offender query service. Do not use the Monroe County InteropWeb roster for a person already transferred to Burruss or another GDC prison. The county roster can still matter for someone sentenced to state time but waiting in the county jail before transfer.

1. Open the GDC Find an Offender page at https://gdc.georgia.gov/offender-info/find-offender.
2. Use the official Search Now path to the GDC offender query service.
3. Search by the identifiers the GDC form provides, such as name or GDC-related identifier when available.
4. Confirm that the listed facility is Burruss Correctional Training Center before using the result for visitation, mail, or money.
5. For formal verification, follow GDC's instruction to verify through written correspondence with Inmate Records and Information, P.O. Box 1529, Forsyth, GA 31029.

Burruss Correctional Training Center Address and Contact

Use Burruss contact information for prison visitation, mail, facility status, and GDC custody questions. Use Monroe County Detention Center only for county-jail custody before transfer.

Visiting Someone at Burruss Correctional Training Center

The Burruss GDC facility page lists visitation from 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. on Saturdays, Sundays, and all state holidays. Statewide GDC rules add approval, scheduling, valid ID, dress code, visitor searches, parking rules, and two-hour visit blocks. Visitors age 16 and older need ID under the statewide rules, and diagnostic-processing limits may restrict visitation until the offender is eligible.

Mail, Deposits, and Money at Burruss Correctional Training Center

Burruss uses GDC statewide friends-and-family systems rather than Monroe County JailATM mail scanning or McDaniel Supply commissary. GDC says depositors must be on the offender's approved visitor list for any payment method. Available money channels include money order voucher, JPay online or mobile, a phone agent at (800) 574-5729, and MoneyGram using Georgia DOC receiver code 6857.

Admission and Classification at Burruss

Burruss is not a street-arrest booking site for Monroe County. A person usually reaches Burruss after conviction and state sentencing, after the county jail or another facility holds the person through transfer. GDC describes Burruss housing as four buildings subdivided into four housing units each, with 50 double-bunked cells per unit on two tiers, plus a fire station and diagnostic unit for youth offenders.

GDC describes academic, counseling, reentry, religious, recreation, wellness, vocational, and on-the-job training programs at Burruss. Examples in the research include GED, Adult Basic Education, literacy, English as a Second Language, Family Violence, Motivation for Change, Re-Entry, Thinking for a Change, Moral Reconation Therapy, worship services, Kairos, New Beginnings, food preparation, horticulture, customer service, warehouse management, forklift, barbering, and cooks.

Recent official GDC items should be treated as dated: a January 8, 2026 context listed approximately 742 male offenders tied to a warden promotion, and an August 15, 2025 release described a deputy warden role overseeing care-and-treatment functions for approximately 800 medium-security male offenders.
