How many inmates sentenced to life are incarcerated at Clayton County Jail in Q2?

2edited

There were two life sentenced inmates incarcerated at Clayton County Jail in Clayton County in the second quarter of 2023, according to the Georgia Department of Corrections.

Allen Otis Kelley was the oldest at approximately 37-years-old.

Brittany Lynn Wiley, a roughly 29-year-old woman, was the youngest woman sentenced to serve life in prison.

Georgia imprisons a higher percentage of its population than any other democracy in the world, locking up 968 per 100,000 people.

State spends between $25,000 and $30,000 on average annually on incarcerated individuals.

Georgia’s crime rate increased in recent years, leading to higher incarceration numbers and more taxpayer money spent on prisoners. Accusations of mistreatment of inmates, riots, deadly assaults on inmates, attacks on correctional officers, and concerns about the poor physical condition of the facilities are a continual problem in Georgia.

Inmates are often transferred around the state of Georgia, which can create data irregularities.
