It was constructed for the purpose of housing an expanding number of female inmates and was designed to keep the populations separated. Capt. Shane Moody, who is over 911 and the jail, said the previous capacity prior to the new addition was 124 inmates. Due to the new construction, the 40-bed unit was added as well as two segregation cells that house two inmates each. That puts the new jail capacity at 168 inmates. Moody said with the onset of COVID-19, however, the space is currently better utilized to isolate incoming inmates for the two-week quaran- tine period. The quar- antining of incoming inmates has been a huge challenge for the department. He said, as soon as COVID-19 issues are over, the new wing will be used for its intended purpose of housing female inmates. Humphries said the project cost was $2.7 million, and it was paid for with SPLOST funds. He said the first part of the project, improving the existing facilities, started in February of 2020, and ground was broken for the new addi- tion in April.
