The Georgia Department of Corrections is the largest law enforcement agency in Georgia with approximately 9,000 employees, and is one of the largest prison systems in the United States. The GDC is responsible for oversight of approximately 45,000 state-sentenced offenders within more than 80 facilities across the state. Our non-negotiable mission of public safety is accomplished by maintaining safe and secure facilities and providing basic care, while working to reduce recidivism by providing vocational and educational programming opportunities to offenders.
