Pulaski State Prison Overview

Pulaski State Prison is a Georgia Department of Corrections state prison at 373 Upper River Road in Hawkinsville. GDC lists it as a state prison serving medium security, with a capacity of 1,223. The mission text adds that the prison houses female offenders of all security levels and provides opportunities for positive change while managing offenders in state custody.

The facility is distinct from Pulaski County Jail. A person arrested in Pulaski County may start in the county jail, appear on the sheriff roster, and then move to GDC only after conviction and sentencing. Once the person is in GDC custody, search the statewide offender locator because assignment may be Pulaski State Prison or another Georgia facility.

Pulaski State Prison Population

GDC's facility page lists Pulaski State Prison capacity as 1,223. A GDC press release dated March 27, 2025 announced Wendy Jackson as warden effective April 16, 2025 and stated she would oversee staff and approximately 1,194 female offenders. A PREA audit tied to a December 2018 site visit listed capacity at 1,223 and current population at 1,169.

Comparing the March 2025 approximate population to the listed capacity puts the prison near full use, but the figure should remain approximate because the GDC release uses approximate language. The county jail count should not be added to this prison number unless a source clearly defines the combined metric.

Search Pulaski State Prison

Use the GDC Find an Offender page or the direct GDC offender query form for Pulaski State Prison inmates. GDC requires users to accept a disclaimer before searching. The locator can search active and inactive offenders and can display photographs automatically when available.

The statewide locator is the correct search tool because Pulaski State Prison is operated by GDC, not by the Pulaski County Sheriff's Office.

Pulaski State Prison Programs

Pulaski State Prison has more documented program detail than the county jail. GDC lists academic education diploma work, adult basic education, literacy, counseling, religious services, recreation, vocational training, on-the-job training, and work details.

Pulaski State Prison Admission

Admission to Pulaski State Prison is not street-arrest booking. A person first moves through the court process and must be sentenced to GDC custody. GDC then classifies and assigns the person based on gender, custody level, bed space, programs, security, and medical or mental-health needs. A Pulaski County conviction does not guarantee placement at Pulaski State Prison.

If a person has just been arrested in Pulaski County, search the county jail roster first. If the person has been sentenced, search GDC. If the person is in federal or immigration custody, use BOP or ICE instead. Each system covers a different legal custody status.
