Inmates in Georgia Department of Corrections custody who hold an active immigration (deportation) detainer, from GDC's monthly 'O.C.G.A. 42-1-11.4 Monthly Report - Detainers for Deportation'. A point-in-time count on the report's as-of date (a month-end), statewide, with the total broken down by the inmate's country of citizenship and, separately, by offense group. Only the months whose report was captured exist; GDC overwrites the report monthly and keeps no archive.
