Releases from Rogers State Prison

Rogers State Prison is a medium-security GDC institution for adult male felons in Reidsville. Leaving Rogers does not always mean a final discharge. The person may transfer within GDC, receive parole, complete a sentence, or move through another approved placement. GDC Find an Offender is the first source for status, facility history, offense and sentence details, and a release date when published.

Parole is conditional release before the sentence fully ends. A discharge ends the applicable custody or supervision term. If the person left on parole, the Georgia Parolee Search may show the active parole record, while the Department of Community Supervision handles field supervision. DCS's Claxton office serves Tattnall County. County jail pages do not certify these state-prison events.

How to Confirm a Release from Rogers State Prison

Begin with the official GDC Find an Offender form. Search fields can include GDC ID, case number, name, age, sex, and race. Strong identifiers matter because names can repeat.

1. Read and accept the GDC disclaimer.
2. Search by GDC ID when available, or combine the full name with other identifiers.
3. Open the matching record and compare the photograph, case, offense, and sentence facts.
4. Read the current status, facility, and release-date fields.
5. If parole is expected, check the Parolee Search for a released person or TPM lookup for a person still awaiting parole action.
6. Use DCS for supervision routing and GDC records for disputed or incomplete data.

A Tentative Parole Month is not a guaranteed exit date. It marks projected Board timing and may change. The broader Tattnall County release search explains why local jail, state prison, and federal records must not be mixed.

Rogers State Prison Records and Contact

Facility staff can route operational questions, but GDC offender records are the proper source for formal state custody history. GDC's search disclaimer directs verification correspondence to Inmate Records and Information.

For a written verification, use Inmate Records and Information, P.O. Box 1529, Forsyth, GA 31029. GDC also lists 300 Patrol Road, Forsyth, GA 31029 as its central mailing address and 404-656-4661 for inmate questions. State records are distinct from any Tattnall Sheriff booking file.

About Rogers State Prison

The official Rogers State Prison profile is the source captured below.

The GDC profile confirms the operator, custody type, location, capacity, and mission.

GDC reports that Rogers opened in 1983, was renovated in 1989, and has a capacity of 1,391. Its mission includes medium-security general population housing, support for a farming operation, and service as a sex-offender release site. General population visitation is listed for Saturdays, Sundays, and state holidays from 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m.

Those facts help distinguish Rogers from Smith State Prison, a close-security institution in Glennville, and from Tattnall County Jail. They do not predict an individual's release. Sentence computation, Board action, holds, conduct, and program conditions may all affect timing.

Rogers Parole Release Status

The State Board of Pardons and Paroles makes parole decisions. The TPM lookup is for a person still in prison and shows tentative timing, not a final order. Once parole begins, the Parolee Search becomes the more useful public route. DCS then provides field supervision. Conditions may govern residence, reporting, travel, and other conduct, but an individual order controls.

A missing parole result does not prove that no release occurred. The person may have discharged the sentence, transferred, left under a different legal status, or have data that needs direct verification. Compare the GDC record first, then ask the correct agency for the underlying record.

Rogers Prison History and Release

Tattnall County has two active state prisons, which makes local search wording easy to misread. Rogers is one of them. Georgia State Prison, also tied to Reidsville in older records, closed in 2022. A historical record naming Georgia State Prison should not be assumed to mean Rogers, even when both share the same county and city context.

Keeping the institution name and custody type exact is the soundest way to confirm a Rogers release.

Rogers Offender Record Fields

GDC Find an Offender can be searched with a GDC ID, case number, full name, age, sex, race, and other visible identifiers. The matched record may supply a photograph, current status, facility, offense and sentence data, and release-date information. Compare multiple identifiers before relying on a common name.

GDC tells users to verify information through written correspondence with Inmate Records and Information at P.O. Box 1529, Forsyth, GA 31029. A request should include the GDC ID, full name, date of birth if known, Rogers State Prison, county of conviction, and the exact release or discharge field needed.

Rogers Release Timing Tools

The Inmate TPM lookup serves a person still in prison or under parole consideration. TPM means Tentative Parole Month. It is not a release order. The Board may conduct final review, impose program conditions, or change timing based on conduct and new information. Once parole begins, use Parolee Search rather than treating the old TPM as current status.

A max possible release date, GDC release date, and TPM answer different questions. Read the label and agency. Sentence completion may produce discharge, while parole carries conditions and field supervision through DCS. The Claxton DCS office serves Tattnall County, but it does not replace the GDC prison record.

Rogers Release Site Context

GDC identifies Rogers as a sex-offender release site and describes its farm operation. Those institutional facts make the official facility profile useful for identity and routing, but they do not establish any one person's destination. A release plan, parole order, or GDC record controls the individual event.

Rogers opened in 1983 and was renovated in 1989. Its history also distinguishes it from the closed Georgia State Prison in Reidsville. Older references must be matched to the exact institution name before a release search begins.

Rogers Release Record Timeline

Build a Rogers timeline from the sentence and facility record rather than from a single projected date. Start with the GDC ID and court case. Record the admission and known facility history. Then note the max possible release date or other release field exactly as labeled. If TPM appears, keep it separate because it represents tentative Board timing.

Next check whether GDC still lists Rogers, another institution, or a released status. A move to another prison is transfer. Placement at a transitional center remains a GDC path. If parole begins, the Parolee Search and DCS supervision record become relevant. If the sentence ends, GDC may instead show release or discharge.

Holds, sentence changes, institutional conduct, program conditions, and Board action can affect timing. The public record should never be rewritten as a promise. When dates conflict, preserve each source and its retrieval date, then ask GDC records or the Board for the controlling information.

Rogers and Tattnall Systems

Physical location in Tattnall County does not make Rogers a county jail. Sheriff Kyle Sapp's office operates the local jail, while GDC operates Rogers. The Sheriff cannot issue a certified Rogers discharge record, and the county inmate inquiry does not list Rogers prisoners merely because the institution is in Reidsville.

A person can have both records at different times. Match dates, case numbers, agencies, and custody type. If a new local arrest occurs after state release, that later booking belongs in the county inquiry while the earlier prison history remains with GDC.
