What Happens at Treutlen PDC: Inside a Medium-Security Probation Detention Center
If your loved one has been sent to Treutlen Probation Detention Center, you're probably wondering what daily life looks like inside. Here's an overview of who the facility serves, how housing works, and what fills the typical schedule.
Treutlen PDC is a sanctioning option for people on probation who need more structure than regular community supervision provides. It's more controlled than standard probation, but the focus remains on preparing people to return to the community in a better position to succeed.
The center houses adult male felons and operates as a medium-security facility. For family members, that custody level sets useful expectations: Treutlen isn't an open, minimal-security setting, but it's not a maximum-security prison either.
Treutlen PDC is located at 401 Cascade Circle in Soperton, Georgia 30457. It opened on April 1, 1991.
Housing at Treutlen PDC is dorm-based. The facility has six open dormitories, each holding 48 detainees. Sleeping areas use a mix of double and triple bunk beds, so expect shared living spaces rather than individual cells.
Beyond the open dorms, Treutlen has a 7-bed lockdown unit for more restrictive housing when needed.

Some work assignments happen off-site. Outside work details travel to Dublin, Vidalia, Milledgeville, Adrian, and Soperton, meaning a workday might take place out in the community rather than inside the facility.
Treutlen PDC offers academic programming including GED (General Education Diploma) and adult basic education. For many, these classes are a chance to build foundational skills or finish a credential that matters when they're back home and looking for work.
The facility offers several counseling and treatment options: re-entry counseling, "motivation for change" programming, Alcoholics Anonymous (AA), and Narcotics Anonymous (NA). Treutlen also runs a "new direction for parolees" program and family violence programming.
At probation detention centers like Treutlen, work and programs fit into a structured daily routine. If you're trying to picture what your loved one does each day, think scheduled blocks for assignments and classes rather than long stretches of unstructured time.
