God Is Always There
At times you reach the bottom
Of sorrow and despair,
And know not where to turn for aid
To help your burdens bear.
There's always One who's stand-
ing by
At any hour of day,
To be your closest friend and guide
And help your fears allay.
One who will comfort and sustain
And always understand,
And give you faith and inner strength
And lend a helping hand.
Look forward to each newborn
day
With courage born anew,
And bear in mind God's always there
To help you see it through.

STATE OF GEORGIA, rOUP COUNTY
TO THE HONORABLE ALLEN B. KEEBLE,
JUDGE OF SOPERIOR COURT, COWETA
JUDICIAL CIRCUIT:
We, the members of the rroup County grand
jury drawn and sworn for the February 1999
term,, respectfuliy make the following present-
ments:
We wish to express our appreciation to
District Attorney Peter John Skandatakis, and all
who assisted him in the preparation and presen-
tation of the cases brought before us for action.
We commend the District Attorney and his staff
for their professionalism and attention to detail.
Their presentaUons were invaluable in making
our deosion.
We also wish to thank Mr. Marion Carson,
our bailiff, for his efficiency and support. We also
thank Georgia Mountain Water for providing the
water for grand jurors. We recommend that the
commission rent, purchase or otherwise provide
the grand jury room with a Georgia Mountain
Water dispenser durir 9 sesions.
We c3mmend law enforcement personnel,
who came before us, whose dedication to duty
deservesour support, encouragement, and sin-
core thanks. We are impressed with their dem-
onstrated diligence and competence.
This grand jury conducted an inspection of
the Troup County jail, Troup County courthouse
and the Courthouse annex. We respectfully sub-
mit the following finO',ngs:
The Troup County jail is in need of additional
cells• The fac41dy must have one or two addi-
tional prison pods in order to meet the needs of
the county and to house persons awaiting trial,
convicted county inmates and Convicted state
inmatqs awaiting transfer to state facilities. We
further find that the Troup County Sheriff's De-
partment is in need of additional correctional
officers to supervise persons awaiting trial and
additional deputy sheriffs to patrol the county.
We respectfully urge the county commissioners
to study the needs of the sheriff's department
and address the staffing problems as needed.
We further find that the sheriff is ip need of at
least one nurse tq work in the jail, and we
respectfully request that this problem be ad-
dressed in the future. This grand jury requests
that the County provide proper funds to ad-
equately acquire nuts os to attend to the medical
need of inmates. Our peace officers are not
equipped to dispense drt:gs to incarcerated
persons.
We further find that the staffing levels at the
jail are insufficient particularly in the control
room area durin{4 the evening shift• We urge
funding to add more off cers to patrol our county
during peak times as required by the sheriff.
This grand yr fh;ds that there is a need to
have joven!u Lli¢ 9 f ' :" il; [ 'oup County This
wotild save c,w e; ;tt :q/e!:i [;vqe anO n'loney in
transFor:n( im',! ;ie" i):-. k ;m[l form from other
counties Io "; r, ,3 [i;,L,iiy Lr Cr:Urt hearings We
recofnme/,O {;le }'gOtJ;J (,CJQ[y commlssto(lefs
lake Imme'diale &ilQn 1; b;N;v;e plans for con-
struction of a juror,de ioiding facility to prevent
our youth from beig loker to other counties for
detention.
During our inspection of the jail, itwas brought
to our attention that there are state sentenced
inmata in tne county jail who are awaiting
transfer to the state system. The county is not
adequately compensated by the State of Geor-
gia for holding these inmates. "We, therefore,
recommend either moving these inmates to a
state prison or that the State reimburse the
county for the actual cost of holding the inmate
until his/her transfer to State custody.
We urge the State of Georgia to address the
problem of prison overcrowding. We also urge
our Commissioners and sheriff's department to
have a program that cooperates with the county
school system to educate school age children
about consequences of wrong choices -- for
example: jail visits, information about penalties
for crimes, and anti-drug and violence programs.
The inspection of the courthouse and court-
house annex leads lhs grand jury to make the
following findings. We are orely disappointed in
the Condition of the courthouse. We find that
there is a need to have a maintenance crew,
comprised of inmates, to clean and manage the
" facilities daily. We, therefore, recommend that
the commissioners hire a supervisor to watch
over these inmates m order to insure that they
clean and maintain the facilities on a daily bases.
We find the courthouse to be in need of repair
and for many of the rooms to be painted.
We further find that the courthouse and
courthouse annex are in need of major renova-
tions. During our inspection, we found the lack of
handicap aocessible rooms, restrooms and wait-
ing areas. We also found dangerous and ex-
posed wiring throughout the faC.ilities. We found
numerous areas which can be considered haz-
ardous to personnel using the courthouse due to
the disrepair of the building. We further find that
minimum standards of cleanliness and mainte-
nance are n0t being kept up. We request that the
courthouse and the annex be serviced at the
same standard as the Troup County administra-
lion building on Dallis Street. Our inspections
revealed the need for additional space in the
courthouse in order.for the public agencies to
meet the needs of the citizens.
The grand jury also finds that the heating
and air conditioning unit in the courthouse is in
need of replacement. We urge the county com-
missioners to consider alternatives on how to
address the problems in our courthouse. It =s
evident that these problems will not solve them-
selves and will continue to get worse ever time.
We, therefore, recommend that the commis-
sioners renovate the courthouse and build an
additional building Io meet the needs of the
agencies serving the public. We urge the com-
rnissioners to adopt a reasonable plan to met the
needs of the facilities at a reasonable cost. We
recommend that the renovations of the court-
house and the building of additional courthouse
space be funded by a local option sales tax. We
further urge the Commissioners to form a citi-
zens advisory panel to meet with the commis-
sioners concerning the building of a Courthouse
and to address the needs and cost associated
with such a facility.
We finally urge the commission to start an
education campaign to show all our county resi-
dents the Condition of facilities and the need for
new facilities to properly handle current and
future requirements.
