Metro Transitional Center Offender Search

Metro Transitional Center Overview

Metro Transitional Center is operated by the Georgia Department of Corrections at 1303 Constitution Road in Atlanta. GDC lists it as a minimum-security transitional center serving adult female felons. Its mission is to assist residents in successful community transition through therapeutic counseling and social and employment skills. That makes it distinct from nearby Metro Reentry Facility, which serves adult male felons, and from Fulton County Jail, which is county pretrial and short-sentence custody.

GDC materials say Metro Transitional Center was constructed in 1981, opened in 1982, and renovated in 1989. Housing is arranged across three buildings with rooms containing three to four beds. Building A and Building B house advanced Phase III and long-term maintenance residents, while Building C houses orientation, Phase I, Phase II, and Guide Dog residents. The facility includes work release throughout the metropolitan area, and long-term maintenance residents work for Helms Facility and other government facilities.

The official GDC Metro Transitional Center page is the source for capacity, address, mission, housing, work release, and program information.

The successful manifest image is used because it matches this GDC facility directly and supports the facility-specific details.

Metro Transitional Center Capacity and Population

GDC lists Metro Transitional Center capacity as 235. The facility serves adult female felons in minimum-security transitional custody. This is a state facility capacity figure, not a Fulton jail population number and not a live count of residents present today. Use the GDC Offender Query for individual custody status.

For Fulton searches, the key distinction is whether the person is still in county jail custody or has moved into GDC custody after sentencing. A person assigned to Metro Transitional Center should be verified through GDC, not through the Fulton sheriff/Tyler jail roster.

How to Look Up an Offender at Metro Transitional Center

Use the GDC Offender Query. The query supports name, GDC ID, case number, gender, race, age, most recent institution, offense, conviction county, and active or inactive status filters after the user accepts a disclaimer. GDC profile information can include the offender's name, GDC ID, year of birth, race, gender, physical description, major offense, most recent institution, release dates, current status, aliases, current sentences, prior sentences, and incarceration history.

1. Open GDC Offender Query and accept the disclaimer.
2. Search by name, GDC ID, or case number.
3. Use Most Recent Institution or conviction county to narrow results if the name is common.
4. Confirm Metro Transitional Center as the current institution before using facility-specific rules.

If the person is not listed in GDC, check whether the person remains in Fulton county jail custody, is at ACDC under a local agreement, has been released, or is in federal or immigration custody. Fulton County's custody map contains several systems, and each has its own locator.

Metro Transitional Center Address and Contact

Contact the facility for visitation, mail-format, resident-program, and facility-rule questions after verifying GDC custody. Contact GDC for offender-query and written verification questions.

Visiting Someone at Metro Transitional Center

Metro Transitional Center visitation should be confirmed through GDC and the facility. The research does not provide a facility-specific public visitation table for Metro Transitional Center, so a visitor should not import Fulton County Jail video-visitation rules or Metro Reentry's weekend schedule. Work release, community pass, phase status, guide dog assignments, maintenance assignments, and facility operations can affect resident availability.

Mail, Phone, and Money at Metro Transitional Center

Use GDC and Metro Transitional Center instructions rather than Fulton jail rules. County jail systems such as Rice Street money-order mail, the Fulton lobby kiosk, and IC Solutions jail video are not the governing rules for this GDC transitional center. Confirm the current mail format, phone rules, package policy, and money options directly with GDC or the facility, and use the resident's full name and GDC ID when required.

Transition Assignment at Metro Transitional Center

Metro Transitional Center is not a booking facility for new arrests. A resident reaches this facility through state correctional assignment after court processing and sentencing. The relevant process is transition planning, phase assignment, work release, community pass, therapeutic counseling, and employment preparation. Fulton first appearance, county bond, and sheriff property-release procedures do not apply to this GDC transitional-center assignment.

About Metro Transitional Center

Metro Transitional Center is differentiated by its adult-female population, minimum security, phased housing, work release, and broad program mix. GDC program listings include GED, adult basic education, literacy remedial work, AA/NA, MRT, Motivation for Change, Relapse Prevention, Family Violence, Battered Women, individual and therapeutic counseling, Work Release, Community Pass, Job Readiness, STD/HIV, Health Education, Parenting, Grief/Loss/Healing, Relationships Group, Career Development, Wise Money Management, Matrix, Fatherhood, DETOUR, Basic World of Works, guide dog programming, and Career Center. For families trying to locate someone, the practical answer is state-level: use GDC first, then call Metro Transitional Center for facility rules.

The building and phase details are useful because Metro Transitional Center can otherwise be confused with Metro Reentry Facility or Helms Facility nearby. Building C covers orientation and earlier phases, while Buildings A and B house advanced Phase III and long-term maintenance residents. That phase structure may matter when asking about work release, community pass, guide dog assignments, or a visit window. It also reinforces why county jail bond timing, Rice Street intake, and Fulton annex rules should not be applied to a resident who has already moved into GDC transitional custody.
