Hancock State Prison is a Georgia Department of Corrections state prison for men located on 701 Prison Boulevard in Sparta Hancock County Georgia. The facility opened in 1991 and currently has a capacity of 1267 prisoners. A riot in November 2011 left twelve prisoners hospitalized. Investigations believe the fight was gang-related and organized with contraband cell phones. Hancock is one of several high-security Georgia state prisons found to have a large percentage of inoperative locks.
