Rogers State Prison is a Georgia Department of Corrections state medium-security prison for men located in Reidsville, Tattnall County, Georgia.[1] Currently, the operational capacity of the facility is 1391 inmates and its warden is Linton Deloach. (Reidsville is also the site of the 1938 Georgia State Prison, about one mile away.)

The facility includes an extensive working farm, a canning operation, a dairy, and beef and pork production. These agricultural programs contribute a significant amount of food back into other state prisons.

In May 2005 three correctional officers were suspended, pending an investigation of allegations made by a former guard and whistleblower named Tommy Cardell. Cardell went to the Georgia Bureau of Investigation claiming that he'd seen 20 to 30 instances of prisoners being beaten while handcuffed, and other systematic cruel treatment.[2]

Rogers was the scene of the alleged mistreatment of a transgender female inmate named Zahara Green in July 2012. Green filed suit against the state corrections department.[3]
