FORSYTH, GA Burruss Correctional Training Center View
Burruss Correctional Training Center is a state correctional facility in Forsyth, Monroe County, Georgia. It is operated by the Georgia Department of Corrections and primarily houses sentenced adult male offenders in state custody, rather than serving as a local booking jail for pretrial detainees. The facility’s role is to provide secure custody, supervision, classification, and correctional programming for people committed to the state prison system. Local arrests and first appearances are typically handled through county law enforcement, the county jail, and the courts before any eligible sentenced person is transferred to a state facility.
Contact and Location Information
How to Find an Inmate at Burruss Correctional Training Center
The public can look up a person in custody through the official inmate search link available on this page for the facility’s roster or offender search. Online records typically list basic details such as the inmate’s name, identification number, booking or admission date, charges or offense information, sentence details, and current custody status. State prison records may not update the same way as a county jail roster, and newly booked or transferred inmates may not appear immediately. Processing, verification, and system updates can take several hours or longer. If the person does not appear in the search, check again later or contact the facility or the Georgia Department of Corrections for guidance.
FAQs
How do I visit an inmate at Burruss Correctional Training Center?
Visitation is usually limited to approved visitors and must follow the facility’s schedule and rules. Contact the facility or check the Georgia Department of Corrections visitation information before you travel, because hours, approval steps, and special restrictions can change.
What do I need to bring when visiting Burruss Correctional Training Center?
Visitors generally need a valid government-issued photo ID and must be on the inmate’s approved visitation list. Bring only items allowed by the facility, follow the dress code, and expect security screening before entry.

How does the commissary work?
Commissary allows inmates to buy approved items such as hygiene products, snacks, and writing supplies. Families may be able to add money through an approved payment system, subject to limits, fees, and facility rules.
How is bail set and how do I post bond at Burruss Correctional Training Center?
Because this is a state correctional facility, many people housed here are already sentenced and may not have a bond option. If the person has a pending case or bond question, contact the court clerk, the arresting county jail, or the inmate’s attorney for current information.
What happens during the intake process at Burruss Correctional Training Center and when will the inmate appear in the system?
Intake generally includes identity verification, security screening, property inventory, medical screening, and classification. Records may take several hours or longer to become searchable after booking, transfer, or intake, so an inmate may not appear in the system immediately.
