As we reflect on 2024, we are proud to share the progress made within the Henry County Jail to enhance the care and rehabilitation of those in our custody. This year, we installed fifty-five (55) state-of-the-art Cortech beds, designed for inmates with acute mental health needs and specialized medical care requirements. These grant-funded beds address safety and security challenges, helping to minimize self- inflicted injuries and reduce the spread of bacteria, reflecting our commitment to a safer and more supportive environment. A 9% increase in inmate releases highlights the effectiveness of our staff and system improvements. This was due to collaborations with the Henry County judicial branch, external mental health partners, and the ability to move sentenced inmates to long term correctional facilities, which enhanced efficiency and support for inmates. We are also excited to partner with FirstClass Healthcare, our new medical vendor, whose expertise is elevating the quality of medical and mental health services available to our inmate population, ensuring comprehensive and compassionate care. In alignment with one of Sheriff Scandrett’s Top Six Initiatives, Reducing Recidivism, we continue to equip inmates with vital life skills to succeed upon their return to the community. Through targeted programming and individualized support, we aim to prepare individuals to make positive contributions to society. Looking ahead to 2025, we remain committed to the Henry County Sheriff’s Office Vision: raising the standard of excellence and strengthening the bond between law enforcement and the community. With the support of our dedicated employees, partners, and citizens, we are confident the year ahead will bring even greater accomplishments. Thank you for your continued trust and support.
Respectfully, Colonel Tina Daniel Jail Operations Commander Tina Daniel
