How to Find an Inmate at Charles D. Hudson Transitional Center
Use the official inmate search link on this page to look for a person held at the facility. Public inmate rosters and search tools usually list the inmate’s name, booking date or admission date, charges or offense information, and current custody status; state records may also show a GDC number and assigned location. New records are not always searchable right away after booking or transfer because intake and data entry can take several hours. If the person does not appear immediately, check again later or contact the facility or the Georgia Department of Corrections for confirmation.
