Metro Reentry Facility Overview
Metro Reentry Facility is operated by the Georgia Department of Corrections. GDC identifies it as a state prison and reentry facility for adult male felons. The facility sits in the Constitution Road state correctional cluster in Atlanta and is part of the DeKalb-area custody map because it can appear in Georgia offender-query institution filters. It should not be described as DeKalb County Jail, a sheriff facility, or a pretrial jail.
GDC lists Metro Reentry Facility at 1301 Constitution Road SE, Atlanta, GA 30316, with main phone 404-460-2100 and fax 404-462-2243. Its mailing address is listed as PO Box 17668, Atlanta, GA 30316. The GDC page describes a medium/minimum security setting with adult male felons in reentry programming. A person held here has moved beyond the ordinary local booking search and should be checked through the state locator.
The GDC facility page lists capacity as 355. It also describes housing units H, J, and K with 2-man and 4-man cells, and states that the facility opened May 1, 2018 after renovation. Those facts are useful for family context, but they do not mean the facility publishes a local jail-style roster. State custody is searched through GDC records.
GDC's Metro Reentry Facility page is the source for the state facility address, phone, capacity, security, and visitation details.
Metro Reentry Facility Locator
Use the GDC offender query for Metro Reentry Facility. The GDC find offender gateway routes users to the same state search process. The DeKalb Tyler Jail Search is for DeKalb County jailings, such as booking, release, bond, and sheriff custody data. It is not the primary source for a person assigned to this GDC reentry facility.
- Open the GDC offender query and review the state disclaimer before searching.
- Search by partial first and last name, or use a GDC ID number or case number if available.
- Use filters such as gender, race, age, conviction county, primary offense, sentence status, and active or inactive record scope when the name is common.
- Check the most recent institution field for Metro Reentry Facility or another GDC institution.
- Verify important details with GDC or written correspondence when a release, transfer, or sentence date matters.
GDC says photos display automatically if available and recommends verification by written correspondence with Inmate Records and Information, PO Box 1529, Forsyth, GA 31029. A GDC profile may show state sentence and institution details rather than the booking number, county bond, or View Jailing fields that appear in a DeKalb County Jail record.

Metro Reentry Facility Contact
Use the GDC facility phone and address for state facility questions. County jail phone lines can help only if the person may still be in DeKalb County Jail, recently released from the jail, or not yet transferred into state custody. Metro Reentry Facility contact details should be kept separate from the sheriff headquarters and jail services numbers.

Metro Reentry Facility Visits
Metro Reentry Facility uses state facility visitation rules, not the DeKalb County Jail ViaPath schedule. GDC lists visitation for Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays from 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. Visitors should confirm approval, identification, dress rules, and any schedule changes with the facility before travel. State visitation can change due to security status, housing assignment, discipline, holidays, or statewide policy updates.
| Day | Hours | Type |
|---|---|---|
| Saturday | 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. | GDC facility visitation |
| Sunday | 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. | GDC facility visitation |
| Holidays | 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. | GDC facility visitation |
The sheriff's remote jail visit cost and weekly jail visit limit apply to DeKalb County Jail, not this state reentry prison. A visitor who found a person in the DeKalb jail roster should confirm whether the person has been transferred before following GDC visitation rules.
Metro Reentry Facility Mail
Mail and money should follow GDC rules for the assigned state facility. GDC lists a mailing address for Metro Reentry Facility at PO Box 17668, Atlanta, GA 30316. Include the person's committed name and GDC identifying information when available. Do not use the DeKalb County Jail's Phoenix, Maryland ViaPath digital mail address for a person housed at Metro Reentry Facility.
| Service | Facility-Specific Direction |
|---|---|
| Use GDC-listed Metro Reentry Facility mail address and inmate identifying details. | |
| Money | Follow current GDC account and vendor rules for state offenders. |
| Phone | Confirm state offender phone account rules with GDC or the facility. |
| County jail vendor accounts | Use only for DeKalb County Jail inmates, not confirmed GDC placements. |
DeKalb Cases and State Custody
A person arrested in DeKalb County can begin in the county jail and later move into GDC custody after a sentence, transfer, or state placement. That custody shift changes the search path. The DeKalb County jail record may help identify the original booking, SO number, arresting agency, and bond history, but GDC controls the state profile once the person is in Georgia corrections custody.
Metro Reentry Facility's purpose is reentry and state custody programming for adult male felons. It can be relevant near the later stage of a sentence, when the custody question is less about bond or first appearance and more about institution, program placement, release planning, or state sentence status. Filed case records, if needed, remain separate from both the jail roster and GDC locator.
When a DeKalb County family is unsure which system applies, the dates usually help. A booking from today or yesterday points first to the county jail roster and jail information phone. A felony sentence, prison transfer, or institution name points to GDC. If the person was booked in DeKalb and later moved to Metro Reentry Facility, keep both record sets separate: the county record documents the local jail episode, while the GDC profile documents state custody and the current or most recent institution.
- Reentry facility
- A GDC prison setting focused on preparing eligible state offenders for return to the community.
- Most recent institution
- The GDC locator field that can show whether Metro Reentry Facility is listed for the offender.
- County booking
- The DeKalb jail intake record, searched in Tyler, that may predate a later GDC placement.
Note: Confirm current institution and visitation approval with GDC before traveling to Metro Reentry Facility.
