Georgia State Prison, located in Reidsville, Georgia, was the main maximum-security facility for the Georgia Department of Corrections until its closure in 2022. Originally opened in 1938, the historic prison housed some of the most dangerous inmates in the state's history and served as Georgia's death row until 1980.
With a published capacity of 1,530 but housing approximately 1,900 inmates, Georgia State Prison had a range of security levels from Minimum to Close. The facility featured modern classic architecture, including a central tower and courtyard, and was the first US prison to be accredited by the American Medical Association and the American Correctional Association.
