The Georgia Department of Corrections is the agency responsible for housing inmates once they have been sentenced to time to serve in the State Prison System.

The Georgia Department of Corrections has an Office of Victim Services which provides the following services to victims of crime if the victim has made the appropriate request:

Notification of release of an inmate from prison when the maximum sentence has been served, if the inmate is being transferred to a transitional center, escapes and/or recaptures of the inmate, or death of the inmate while in custody

Access to the V.I.N.E. (Victim Information and Notification Everyday) System – a system set up through the Georgia Department of Corrections to provide automated notification to requesting crime victims;

The opportunity to participate in Restorative Justice Programs such as "The Impact of Crime Upon Victims Program." This curriculum is designed to educate inmates of the impact crime has on victims and incorporates the use of "Victim Impact Panels" – a panel made up of volunteer survivors of crime and share with inmates, in a secure setting, a first hand account of the devastating effects of crime.
