Rogers State Prison Overview
GDC's Rogers State Prison page identifies Rogers as a medium-security Georgia Department of Corrections prison in Reidsville. It is not the local Tattnall County Jail. A Rogers State Prison inmate should be searched through GDC Find an Offender, while a new arrest or pretrial detainee at the county jail should be searched through the county Interop roster.
GDC says Rogers State Prison opened in 1983 and was renovated in 1989. Its mission includes housing medium-security general population offenders, operating extensive farming and food-service support, providing counseling and education, and serving as a sex-offender release site. The GDC page also says Rogers supports farming operations that provide vegetables, meats, and milk for correctional facilities and provides meals for Georgia State Prison population. That state-prison work role is separate from sheriff's office jail booking.
The manifest includes a successful screenshot for Rogers State Prison from its official GDC page. The GDC Rogers State Prison source is the source for the image below.
The image is used here because it matches Rogers State Prison specifically and supports the facility facts in this section.
Rogers State Prison Population
Rogers State Prison has a GDC-listed capacity of 1,391. That figure counts state-prison beds located inside Tattnall County, not county jail beds. The distinction is central to inmate lookup. A person sentenced to GDC custody may be physically in Tattnall County at Rogers, but the sheriff's office roster is still the wrong search channel. Use the GDC locator for sentenced state-prison custody.
GDC describes Rogers as serving adult male felons in a medium-security setting. It also identifies protective custody at Rogers, which matters because the facility publishes a separate protective-custody visitation block. Housing includes six buildings, each containing four dormitories. GDC also lists 23 double-occupancy cells for administrative segregation, 24 cells for disciplinary isolation, one cell for mental-health observation, a C.E.R.T. Team, open dormitory housing, and single cells.

Rogers State Prison Inmate Lookup
Use GDC Find an Offender for Rogers State Prison custody checks. The county jail roster is for local jail inmates and recent bookings. GDC's statewide system is for state-prison offenders and can identify whether the current facility is Rogers, Smith, another GDC prison, a transitional center, or another listed corrections location. GDC also instructs users to verify information through Inmate Records and Information at P.O. Box 1529, Forsyth, GA 31029.
- Open GDC Find an Offender through the Georgia Department of Corrections website.
- Search by legal name, GDC ID, case number, age, or other identifying details when available.
- Check the current facility field carefully to confirm Rogers State Prison.
- Use Rogers visitation, mail, and money rules only after the facility match is confirmed.
- If no state-prison match appears, check the county jail roster, federal BOP locator, ICE ODLS, or court records as appropriate.

Rogers State Prison Mail
Rogers State Prison mail, phone, and money rules follow GDC statewide processes. Use the GDC offender contact page for mail and communication instructions. Use the GDC send money page for state-prison deposits. The research file did not locate a Rogers-specific deposit fee table, so fee amounts and provider charges should be checked through GDC's current statewide instructions.
| Service | Provider / detail | Research status |
|---|---|---|
| Mail rules | GDC contact-offender route | Use current statewide prison guidance. |
| Inmate lookup | GDC Find an Offender | Correct route for Rogers custody. |
| Money deposit | GDC send-money route | Facility page does not list a fee table. |
| County jail funds | Not a county jail account | Do not apply county rules to Rogers. |
Rogers State Prison Intake
Rogers State Prison intake is not the first step after a street arrest. It is a state-prison placement after conviction, sentencing, and GDC classification or transfer. A person arrested in Tattnall County may first appear on the Tattnall County Jail roster, then later move to GDC if sentenced to state-prison custody. Once that move occurs, the county roster may no longer show the person, even though the person remains incarcerated within Tattnall County at a state facility.
Classification can affect visitation, housing, work, and program access. Rogers includes general population housing, administrative segregation, disciplinary isolation, mental-health observation, and protective custody. Protective custody has a distinct visitation schedule. Families should avoid assuming that one inmate's visiting route, mail issue, or housing status applies to another Rogers inmate.

Counseling and treatment items include family violence, Moral Reconation Therapy, health education, motivation for change, Confronting Self, reentry, Matrix Early Prevention, Matrix Relapse, mental health and mental rehabilitation, recreation, worship, Bible study, and KAIROS.
Rogers has a strong agricultural and support-work identity. GDC lists a canning plant, dairy, swine unit, beef cattle, farm labor, City of Lyons work, vehicle maintenance, DOT, Georgia State Patrol, UGA Testing Center, grounds and institutional maintenance, laundry, warehouse, and recycling. Vocational and work roles include farm operations, barbering, warehousing, cannery, dairy, sanitation, wastewater treatment, food preparation, clerical work, and auto repair. For county jail booking records before state transfer, use Tattnall County jail inmate records instead.
