So, You Wanna Know Where Your Buddy Benny Ended Up? A Guide to Gauging Georgia's Gaolbirds
Let's face it, sometimes life takes unexpected turns. Maybe your friend Benny borrowed your lawnmower "indefinitely" or perhaps your poker game got a little too wild. Whatever the reason, you find yourself wondering: is Benny chilling on a beach somewhere, or is he rocking an orange jumpsuit? Fear not, for this guide will illuminate the path to finding Benny (or any other wayward soul) in the grand correctional system of Georgia.
Dissecting the Dungeons: State vs. County
QuickTip: Repetition reinforces learning.
First things first, Georgia has two types of lockups: county jails and state prisons. Prisons house folks sentenced to longer stretches, while jails hold those awaiting trial or serving shorter sentences. This means your Benny-hunting strategy depends on the severity of his supposed crime.

The Big House Brawl: State Prisons
Think Benny might be doing some hard time? Head over to the Georgia Department of Corrections' Inmate Search (https://services.gdc.ga.gov/GDC/OffenderQuery/jsp/OffQryForm.jsp). This nifty tool lets you search by name, ID number, or even case number. If Benny's enjoying the "complimentary" prison food, you should find him here.The County Cl cl cl cl cl (sound of jail bars closing): County Jails
If Benny's crime was less, well, epic, then he might be gracing a county jail with his presence. The problem? There's a whole lotta counties in Georgia, each with its own jail and (usually) website. Don't fret, though! Most county sheriff's office websites have an inmate search function. Just find the county where Benny's alleged transgression took place and do a quick web search for the sheriff's office. Easy peasy!
Tip: Don’t just glance — focus.

Bonus Tip: The Power of the Phone
Tip: Use the structure of the text to guide you.
Let's say the internet fails you (or you just prefer the human touch). You can always call the jail or prison directly. Jails are usually more accessible, but prisons might require you to navigate an automated phone system. Be prepared with Benny's information and a healthy dose of patience.
