Correctional healthcare across the Hall County Jail, its Work Release House and the county correctional institution in Gainesville.
The Hall County Sheriff's Office runs a 1,026 bed main jail, a 148 bed Work Release House, a house arrest program for up to 60 people, and the adjacent 240 bed Hall County Correctional Institution under a per diem state contract. GENESYS would staff the main jail and Work Release House on one set of protocols sized to each population's acuity, plus a longer stay chronic care approach for the correctional institution.
GENESYS is physician-owned, with a named medical director accountable for clinical policy and NCCHC-aligned standards of care, and leadership reachable 24/7/365. Vacancies are covered through overtime, compliance pool nurses and contingency staffing so open shifts are filled across every site. Schedule an assessment and we will walk through a staffing plan for Barber Road.
Every GENESYS contract is built from the same nine services, sized to the facility's population and staffing model. Each one has its own page with the detail.
We will walk through a staffing plan, coverage hours and how the transition would work for your population.
The Hall County Sheriff's Office's Jail Bureau, its largest bureau with 200 officers and clerks, operates the main jail at 1700 Barber Road in Gainesville, with 1,026 beds. The same bureau also runs a Work Release House with 148 beds and a house arrest program managing up to 60 inmates daily.
Contracting out healthcare across three custody settings, the main jail, the work release house and house arrest, means a clinical program has to match staffing and protocols to each population's acuity, while the Jail Bureau also coordinates inmate transports to outside medical and dental appointments and keeps custody and security throughout.
Between the 1,026 bed main jail, the 148 bed Work Release House and a house arrest program managing up to 60 people daily, the Jail Bureau already runs three different custody settings with different acuity levels. A healthcare contract should match that structure: full clinical coverage at the main jail, lighter touch medication management and health screening for the work release population, and a plan for coordinating care with anyone on house arrest.
Hall County Correctional Institution sits at 1698 Barber Road, essentially next to the main jail, with a capacity of 240. Under a per diem contract with the Georgia Department of Corrections, the state pays the county about $22 per inmate per day, roughly $1.6 million a year, to house 152 state and county offenders there. That is a longer stay, sentenced population with a correspondingly larger chronic care load than the pretrial jail across the road. See prison healthcare for how that changes the clinical program.
The Vera Institute figure is for the county jail only; Hall County Correctional Institution is a separate state facility under a per diem contract with the Georgia Department of Corrections.
The Jail Bureau operates the 1,026 bed main jail at 1700 Barber Road, a 148 bed Work Release House, and a house arrest program managing up to 60 people daily. Hall County also operates the separate, state contracted Hall County Correctional Institution next door.
It is a 240 bed medium security state facility at 1698 Barber Road, run under a per diem contract with the Georgia Department of Corrections, which pays the county about $22 per inmate per day to house 152 state and county offenders. See prison healthcare for how a sentenced, longer stay population changes clinical care.
The Jail Bureau coordinates inmate transports to outside medical and dental appointments in addition to court transports, per the Sheriff's Office. A correctional healthcare contract works alongside that transport schedule, handling on-site physician care and dental so fewer trips are needed in the first place.
Vera Institute data puts the county jail's average daily population at about 680, a three year median. That is separate from the 240 bed Hall County Correctional Institution, which houses 152 state and county offenders under its own per diem contract.
