This facility is for adult inmates.

The inmates housed at Clayton Co Prison located at 11420 S.L.R. Blvd in Lovejoy, GA are placed according to their custody level (determined by a number of factors including the past criminal history and the length of their sentence). There are ample educational and vocational training programs for all inmates, especially ones that show a willingness to learn new things that will prepare them for a better life when they are released. The mission is to promote and prepare the offender to leave in better shape than when they arrived, giving them the best chance to never come back and thus lower the state's recidivism rate.

The Prison houses only State of Georgia convicted prison inmates and works very closely with the Georgia Department of Corrections. The current capacity of the Prison is 242 inmates. These inmates are mainly classified as a minimum to medium risk inmates. Approximately 55% of the prison workforce are classified as minimum security and can work under civilian supervision.
