Yep. They moved the women to Atlanta “Metro C.I.” now Metro State Prison.
And yes, there is a Geriatric Prison at Milledgeville. We had several that needed to be there, but, they were in our mental health wing instead.
There was a mental health hospital at Milledgeville too. When we were kids, we were told that if we didn’t straighten up, we’d end up at Milledgeville in the state hospital. We KNEW we didn’t want to go there.
They finally closed that place and made a bunch of regional mental institutions around Georgia. It seems to work much better. The Binion Building at Milledgeville was a hell-hole.
All goes back to the criminal way we treat the mentally ill in America (though Georgia is trying to do what is right anyway).
Yeah we got the tour of MLDGV I recall a lot of agriculture farmed by inmates.
At the geriatric everyone called the captain boss with respect, like the movies. In cal boss was atermoonsarcasm like yes masser.
