Two addresses for Bibb County Jail (GDC): which one is for mail and which is the facility location?
If you've spotted two different addresses for Bibb County Jail on Georgia Department of Corrections (GDC) pages, you're not imagining things. The GDC location page shows the facility street address as 668 Oglethorpe Street, Macon, GA 31204. The GDC contacts page lists a separate address under "Mail": 300 Patrol Road, Forsyth, GA 31029. Using the wrong one can mean delayed mail or showing up at the wrong place for a visit.
Making things more confusing, the statewide GDC locations listing includes both 668 Oglethorpe Street (Macon) and 300 Patrol Road (Forsyth). Scan that list quickly and it looks like the jail has two competing "official" addresses.
