Media request to GA. Dept of Corrections – Re; OCGA 42-1-11.4

December 29, 2024 By D.A. King

The below was sent to Dept. Corrections, on Thursday, Dec. 26, 2024 at 2:00 PM.

Georgia Dept. of Corrections:

I am writing an opinion column focused on HB 1105, and the quarterly reports your office is required to file as per OCGA 42-1-11.4 (Section 7, HB 1105). I paste the text of that part of state law below:

42-1-11.4. Reports regarding foreign-born inmates in custody.

“The commissioner shall, on the official public website used by the department, publish a report of aggregate data on the immigration status, offenses, and home countries of inmates who are confined under the authority of the department who are not citizens of the United States and to whom the United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement Division of the Department of Homeland Security has issued immigration detainer notices as such term is defined in Code Section 42-1-11.5. Each report shall include the total number of inmates who are not citizens of the United States; provided, however, that any inmates who are citizens of both the United States and one or more other countries shall be designated as such as a separate category. Such report shall be first published on October 1, 2024, and every 90 days thereafter; provided, however, that if the ninetieth day falls on a state holiday or Saturday or Sunday, then such report shall be published the next business day.”

________

My goal is to share the information contained in the October 31, 2024 report with my readers but after an exhaustive search of the cdc.georgia.gov website I do not see a link to report in question. I would be grateful if someone can point me to the post on the official website assuming I have somehow overlooked posting. I have made screenshots of the site.

Again, assuming that I have not overlooked the Oct 31, 2024 report post, I would be grateful for an explanation to share with readers on why the initial report is not on the website.

I write on The Federalist, James Magazine Online, Breitbart, my own blog and for various newspapers across Georgia.

My deadline is close of business, Monday, Dec 30, 2024.

Please feel free to contact me with (any) questions.

Thank you,

D.A. King
