Newton County GA Detention Center basic information to help guide you through what you can do for your inmate while they are incarcerated. The facility's direct contact number: 678-625-1420
This facility is for adult inmates.
The Newton County GA Detention Center is a medium-security detention center located at 15151 Alcovy-Jersey Road Northeast Covington, GA which is operated locally by the Newton County Sheriff's Office and holds inmates awaiting trial or sentencing or both. Most of the sentenced inmates are here for less than two years. Newton County accepts inmates from surrounding towns, municipalities, the US Marshal's Service and the Covington Police Department who do not have their own long-term lock-up.
Inmate Programs provide rehabilitative and educational opportunities through coordinated community resources so that inmates can ready themselves for productive citizenship upon return to their communities. Inmate programs grant the opportunity to escape what for some individuals becomes a revolving door at the detention center.
Program members without high school diplomas are offered to attend 60 hours of General Educational Development (GED) classes taught by DeKalb Technical College staff in the detention centers educational section.
The FATHERHOOD, BROTHERHOOD, and MOTHERHOOD programs teach personal development, goal setting and achievement, decision-making, problem solving, interpersonal and family relationship development, financial management, and stress and anger management. The curriculum also is designed to prepare the participants for workforce entry (job readiness, job seeking and retention).
The CHAPLAINCY PROGRAM renders spiritual, motivational and emotional support. Inmates housed in the Newton County Detention Center receive ministry from in-house chaplains and from churches of various religious denominations. Volunteer chaplains conduct religious services that serve approximately 300 inmates weekly.
