Treutlen Detention Center Overview
Treutlen Detention Center is operated by the Georgia Department of Corrections at 401 Cascade Circle, Soperton, GA 30457. GDC classifies it as a medium-security probation detention center for adult male felons and probation detainees. It is close to the county jail addresses on Cascade Circle, but it is a separate state facility with a separate phone number, separate visitation rules, and a separate lookup system.
The facility opened and first received detainees on April 1, 1991. GDC describes it as a brick building on the right side after driving to Cascade Circle from GA 29 South. The facility sits on 47.64 acres and uses regimented schedules, unpaid work details, education, counseling, and programming intended to support successful return to the community. Its phone number is (912) 529-6760, and the fax number is (912) 529-6968.
Treutlen Detention Center should not be searched through a county jail roster. County jail records cover local arrests and pretrial or short local custody at Treutlen County Detention Center. GDC records cover people in state custody. If a person was sentenced from Treutlen County and moved into GDC custody, the county jail may only be able to confirm release or transfer history, while GDC becomes the current custody source.

Visiting Someone at Treutlen Detention Center
GDC publishes visitation for Treutlen Detention Center as Saturday, Sunday, and state holidays from 9:00am to 3:00pm. State-facility visitation is not an open walk-in process. Visitors must follow GDC approval and scheduling procedures, and they should verify the visit before traveling because lockdowns, holidays, individual restrictions, and facility conditions can change access. The GDC visitation information page is the correct statewide source for visitor approval, scheduling, identification, dress, conduct, and contraband rules.

|---|---|---|
| Saturday | 9:00am-3:00pm | GDC approved/scheduled visitation |
| Sunday | 9:00am-3:00pm | GDC approved/scheduled visitation |

| Weekdays | Not published for public visitation | Confirm any special visit directly with GDC |
Mail, Phone, and Money at Treutlen Detention Center
Mail, phone, and money for a person at Treutlen Detention Center follow GDC rules, not Treutlen County jail procedures. GDC maintains statewide pages for sending money and contacting an offender, and those pages should be used for the current vendor, address format, restrictions, and any fee information. Do not send county-jail mail or deposits to the state facility without checking the GDC instructions and confirming the person is assigned to Treutlen Detention Center in the locator.
| Service | Provider / Detail |
|---|---|
| Mail/contact route | Use GDC's official contact-offender instructions and current address format. |
| Money deposit | Use GDC's official send-money page for current vendor and fees. |
| Phone or email | Use GDC contact-offender rules, not county-jail vendor claims. |
| Verification | Confirm current facility assignment through GDC before sending anything. |
Admission and Custody at Treutlen Detention Center
Treutlen Detention Center is a probation detention center, so admission is different from street-arrest booking at the county jail. The GDC mission describes it as a sanctioning option for probationers who need more security or supervision than regular community supervision. Detainees are held under GDC authority, assigned to a regimented schedule, and may participate in work and programming during an average stay reported in the PREA audit as 60 to 180 days.
When a person leaves Treutlen County Detention Center after sentencing or transfer and enters GDC custody, the lookup route changes. County jail staff may be able to confirm that the person was released or transferred from county custody, but current housing, visitation approval, and offender status should be checked through GDC. This distinction is especially important in Soperton because the county jail and the state Treutlen Detention Center are both associated with Cascade Circle addresses.
Programs, Work Details, and Facility Operations
GDC publishes meaningful program detail for Treutlen Detention Center. The facility provides GED and adult basic education, plus counseling and programming such as re-entry, motivation for change, Alcoholics Anonymous/Narcotics Anonymous, new direction for parolees, and family violence programming. Inside work details include sanitation, dorm orderlies, maintenance, laundry, grounds, and kitchen assignments. Outside work details serve Dublin, Vidalia, Milledgeville, Adrian, and Soperton, which makes the facility part of a wider central Georgia work-detail network.
The official GDC location page shows the Treutlen Detention Center address, security level, mission, housing layout, visitation, work details, and programs.
Note: Confirm GDC custody, approval, and scheduling with the facility before traveling, sending money, or relying on locator details.
