Bleckley Residential Substance Abuse Treatment Center Overview
Bleckley Residential Substance Abuse Treatment Center, often shortened to Bleckley RSAT Center, is operated by the Georgia Department of Corrections. The researched GDC facility block lists the address as 179 Jac Arts Road, Cochran, GA 31014, with phone number 478-934-3303. It is a state RSAT facility for adult female probationers and parolees in a structured residential substance-abuse treatment program.
This facility should not be described as the Bleckley County Jail. It serves a state correctional and supervision population, not fresh county pretrial bookings handled through the Bleckley County Sheriff's Office under Sheriff Daniel Cape. A person at Bleckley RSAT has usually moved beyond the initial county-jail arrest stage and into a GDC, probation, or parole-related placement. That difference controls lookup, visitation, mail, phone, money, release notification, and records questions.
Bleckley RSAT Capacity and Population
The researched Georgia Department of Corrections facility page lists Bleckley RSAT Center with a capacity of 238 and identifies the population as adult female probationers and parolees. The same research notes that the facility was constructed in 2003 and opened in 2004. A current daily census for the RSAT center was not captured, so the published capacity should not be treated as a live inmate count.
Do not add Bleckley RSAT's capacity to the Bleckley County Jail population. The county jail's May 2026 report showed 52 inmates in a 75-bed local jail, while the RSAT center is a separate state facility with a different mission and reporting channel.
How to Look Up an Offender at Bleckley RSAT Center
Use the Georgia DOC Find an Offender search for Bleckley Residential Substance Abuse Treatment Center. The county jail phone and county roster fallback are not the correct tools for a state RSAT placement. Search by GDC ID when available, or by name and narrowing details when the exact identifier is unknown.
- Open the Georgia Department of Corrections offender locator.
- Search by GDC ID for the cleanest match, or use first name, last name, gender, race, age, or case number when available.
- Confirm the listed facility or status before assuming the person is at Bleckley RSAT Center.
- Review the public GDC profile for offense, sentence, county of conviction, status, release, or supervision details where shown.
The GDC offender locator is the researched statewide lookup tool for sentenced or GDC-supervised people.
That state search is the correct starting point for Bleckley RSAT, while local jail booking questions still belong with Bleckley County Jail.
Bleckley RSAT Center Address and Contact
Use the facility phone for facility-specific questions about visitation approval, directions, mail formatting, programs, and current contact rules. Use GDC statewide pages for general offender contact policies. Use the county sheriff only for local jail custody, not for a person already assigned to Bleckley RSAT Center.

For release notification connected to state custody, Georgia participates in VINELink-style victim notification, and parole-related victim services may route through Georgia State Board of Pardons and Paroles resources. For local jail custody before any state transfer, the Bleckley County officials page and Bleckley County FAQ support the sheriff and non-emergency contact path.
Visiting Someone at Bleckley RSAT Center
GDC visitation is different from county jail visitation. Visitors generally must follow approval and facility rules before visiting, and a facility may control scheduling, identification, dress code, items allowed through the gate, search procedures, and whether a visit is contact or non-contact. The research did not capture a day-by-day Bleckley RSAT schedule, so visitors should call 478-934-3303 and use GDC's offender-contact resources before traveling.
| Day | Hours | Type |
|---|---|---|
| Monday | Follow GDC and facility approval rules | Facility controlled |
| Wednesday | Follow GDC and facility approval rules | Facility controlled |
| Friday | Follow GDC and facility approval rules | Facility controlled |
| Saturday | Call 478-934-3303 before travel | Facility controlled |
| Sunday | Call 478-934-3303 before travel | Facility controlled |
A visitor should expect to bring government photo ID and should ask in advance about approved visitor lists, minor visitors, dress code, prior criminal history restrictions, medication, accessibility needs, and whether probation or parole status affects entry.
Mail, Phone, and Money at Bleckley RSAT Center
Mail, phone, visitation, and money rules for Bleckley RSAT Center follow Georgia Department of Corrections systems and facility-specific instructions. Mail should follow GDC offender mail rules and include the offender's name, GDC ID when required, and the facility address in the format GDC or the facility provides. Do not send cash, unauthorized packages, stickers, perfumed material, coded content, threats, or other barred items.

Admission and Placement at Bleckley RSAT Center
Bleckley RSAT intake is not the same as street-arrest booking at Bleckley County Jail. A person assigned to this facility has usually reached a state corrections, probation, or parole stage and is placed in a residential substance-abuse treatment program. County booking charges, bond status, and first-appearance scheduling are handled before this stage or through separate court and jail records.
After a conviction, probation action, parole action, or court-related placement, GDC and supervision authorities determine facility placement and movement. Family members should watch for changes in the GDC offender locator rather than relying on a county jail roster. If a GDC profile stops showing Bleckley RSAT Center, confirm whether the person was moved, released, transferred, or had a supervision status change.
Records for Bleckley RSAT and State Custody
For state custody, the GDC offender profile is the public search starting point. It may show GDC ID, name, physical description, photo where available, current facility or status, offenses, sentence data, county of conviction, and release or parole-related dates where public. It does not show the full county jail booking sheet, local bond details, or every court document after arrest.
For a court docket, use Georgia court-record channels such as re:SearchGA where available or the appropriate clerk's office. For a county jail booking record from before a state transfer, contact the Bleckley County Sheriff's Office. For parole and release authority, use Georgia parole resources where applicable. Keeping those routes separate prevents the common mistake of asking a county jail to explain state RSAT placement.
About Bleckley Residential Substance Abuse Treatment Center
Bleckley RSAT Center is one of the most important facility distinctions in Bleckley County because it is physically in Cochran but is not part of the local jail system. The county jail handles local pretrial and short-sentence custody. Cochran Police handles municipal arrest and transfer custody. Bleckley RSAT Center is the GDC treatment-oriented state facility for adult female probationers and parolees.
The GDC facility research describes the mission as a highly structured residential substance-abuse treatment program and notes construction in 2003 with opening in 2004. Program eligibility, treatment participation, facility rules, visitor approval, and movement decisions are controlled through GDC and supervision authorities. Do not use commercial mugshot pages or county jail guesses to track someone assigned to this facility.
Note: Confirm facility placement, visitation approval, and contact rules with GDC or Bleckley RSAT Center before travel.
