Full Notification

Clayton County is known both nationally and internationally for having the cleanest and most disciplined jail in the world.  The entire jail is ran like a military boot camp, and is not the jail criminals enjoy.   If the jail is tough, the commander has to be in order to maintain such a renowned reputation.  However, a little known fact is that Georgia's most famous and toughest jail is commanded by a woman. 

Major Deeann Cash is a 31 year veteran of the Clayton County Sheriff's office and rose through the ranks working in nearly every division of the agency.   Sheriff Victor Hill had the honor of promoting Cash to the rank of Major putting her in charge the jail, and she did not disappoint. The Georgia Jail Association obviously agreed with the Sheriff when they recently gave Major Cash "The Detention Administrator of the Year" award!

The Clayton Sheriff's Office is proud of the fact that we run the cleanest, safest, and only military jail in Georgia.  However, we are especially proud of and congratulate the woman that commands Georgia's toughest para-military jail!  Job well done Major Cash!
