Metro Reentry Facility Offender Lookup

Metro Reentry Facility Overview

Metro Reentry Facility is operated by the Georgia Department of Corrections at 1301 Constitution Road SE in Atlanta. GDC lists it as serving adult male felons and as a medium and minimum security facility with a special reentry mission. The facility focuses on returning citizens nearing release into the metropolitan Atlanta community, with secure custody, evidence-based programming, and community-stakeholder involvement. That purpose separates it from Fulton County Jail, where the dominant population is pretrial or awaiting case resolution.

The facility has a detailed institutional history. It was constructed in 1980 for males, re-missioned for women in 1992, closed in 2011, renovated beginning in January 2017, and reopened in May 2018 as a male reentry facility. Housing units H, J, and K contain two-person and four-person cells. Work details include woodworking, welding and metal fabrication, food services, educational and library aides, maintenance, dog program work, inside grounds, and barbershop. Programs include Moral Reconation Therapy, Motivation for Change, Thinking for a Change, Re-entry, Parenting, Relapse Prevention, Career Center, religious activities, GED, Adult Basic Education, and literacy.

The official GDC Metro Reentry Facility page is the facility-specific source for capacity, security level, history, housing, visitation, work details, and programs.

The successful manifest image is used because it matches Metro Reentry Facility directly and supports the GDC facility-page information.

Metro Reentry Facility Capacity and Population

GDC lists Metro Reentry Facility capacity as 355. The facility is classified as medium and minimum security and serves adult male felons. Capacity is not a live population count, and it should not be merged with Fulton County Jail population figures. A person assigned to Metro Reentry is in state correctional custody and should be searched through GDC systems.

For Fulton readers, the important difference is custody type. A Fulton arrestee starts in county jail if booked locally, but a sentenced state offender nearing release can later appear in GDC facilities such as Metro Reentry. The county jail roster is not the proper final locator once that state transfer occurs.

How to Look Up an Offender at Metro Reentry Facility

Use the GDC Offender Query. The tool finds offenders currently in a GDC facility after the user accepts the disclaimer. It supports name searches, GDC ID, case number, gender, race, age range, most recent institution, offense, conviction county, and active or inactive status. GDC result pages can show offender name, major offenses, current institution, and a profile with GDC ID, physical description, release dates, current status, aliases, sentence records, and incarceration history.

1. Open GDC Offender Query and accept the disclaimer.
2. Search by full or partial name, GDC ID, or case number.
3. Narrow by Most Recent Institution, conviction county, offense, or active status if needed.
4. Confirm Metro Reentry Facility as the current institution before using facility-specific visit or mail rules.

If the person is not in GDC, check whether they are still in Fulton county jail, at ACDC, in federal BOP custody, in ICE custody, or released. Fulton is layered enough that one missing search result does not answer every custody question.

Metro Reentry Facility Address and Contact

Use the facility for state-custody visitation, mail, and program questions. Use GDC Inmate Records and Information for written verification when an offender record must be confirmed by correspondence.

Visiting Someone at Metro Reentry Facility

GDC materials provide a specific visitation window for Metro Reentry Facility: Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays from 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. Visitors should still confirm the current schedule and approval requirements with the facility before traveling. Reentry programming, work details, facility security status, and resident eligibility can affect whether a visit is available on a given day.

Mail, Phone, and Money at Metro Reentry Facility

Use GDC and facility instructions, not Fulton County Jail money rules. Rice Street money-order mail, Fulton lobby kiosk fees, and IC Solutions jail video rules are county jail procedures. For Metro Reentry, confirm the current mail format, phone access, package rules, and resident-account options with GDC or the facility, and include the resident's full name and GDC ID when required.

Reception and Reentry Assignment at Metro Reentry Facility

Metro Reentry Facility is not a county arrest-booking point. A resident reaches this facility through state correctional assignment after conviction and sentencing, not through the Fulton first-appearance and bond process. Intake for this facility is therefore better understood as state reception, classification, reentry planning, housing assignment, and program placement. The resident's profile should be confirmed through GDC, then facility rules should be checked with Metro Reentry.

About Metro Reentry Facility

Metro Reentry Facility has a stronger reentry identity than many correctional pages in Fulton because its mission is explicitly tied to returning citizens nearing release into metropolitan Atlanta. Its program list includes cognitive-behavioral, relapse-prevention, parenting, education, literacy, career, religious, and work-detail components. For families, the most important practical distinction is that these are GDC residents, not Fulton jail detainees. Use GDC for the lookup, use the facility for visit and mail confirmation, and use Fulton jail records only when the person has not yet moved into state custody.

The facility's history also helps explain why a search result may show Metro Reentry rather than one of the other Constitution Road facilities. The institution was built for one mission, re-missioned for women, closed, renovated, and reopened as a male reentry facility. That history is not trivia; it prevents confusing Metro Reentry Facility with Metro Transitional Center, which serves adult female felons, or with Helms Facility, which has a special medical mission. When a GDC profile lists Metro Reentry, use the male reentry facility rules, not county jail annex rules and not the nearby transitional-center rules.
