==History==
In 1984 several women at GWCI sued the prison, accusing employees of committing sexual abuse.〔Siegel and Bartollas, p. (211 ).〕 By September 1, 1992, 70 women at GWCI said that prison guards had sexually abused them.〔"(Georgia women's prison inmates claim sex abuse )." ''Toledo Blade''. Tuesday September 1, 1992. Page 3. Retrieved from Google News on November 18, 2012.〕 By 1993 over 180 prisoners at GWCI stated that prison guards had sexually abused them.〔 In the early 1990s, based on affidavits of almost 200 prisoners at GWCI who said they had been abused, over 12 DOC employees were suspended, fired, and transferred. Several top administrators in the department and several top employees at GWCI were relieved of their positions.〔 As part of the scandal, 15 men and women were indicted for criminal charges accusing them of sexually abusing prisoners. Two prison guards made guilty pleas and received probation. A Baldwin County jury acquitted another prison guard. The state dropped charges against the other accused parties.〔 In 1992 Mary Esposito, a native of Waycross, Georgia and the first female warden of an all-male prison in Georgia, took over as the warden of Baldwin State; she had been transferred from the A.L. Burruss Correctional Training Center.〔
In 1993 Governor of Georgia Zell Miller announced that the women from the Georgia Women's Correctional Institution would be moved to the Metro State Prison near Atlanta, which was to be emptied of its male prisoners. The officials scheduled the completion of the swap on July 1, 1993.〔"(ACROSS THE USA: NEWS FROM EVERY STATE )." ''USA Today''. January 22, 1993. News 6A. Retrieved on November 18, 2012.〕 Lynn Cook of the ''Atlanta Journal-Constitution'' said that the swap occurred partly "to get the female inmates out of a culture at Georgia Women’s Correctional Institution that had allowed officers and other workers at the prison to engage in sexual relationships with inmates."〔Cook, Rhonda. "(State closed DeKalb County prison )." ''Atlanta Journal-Constitution''. Friday April 1, 2011. Retrieved on November 18, 2012.〕 The former GWCI was renamed the Baldwin Correctional Institution.〔"(Metro Correctional Institution Temporarily State's Only Co-ed Prison )." ''Waycross Journal-Herald''. Monday August 30, 1993. P-4. Retrieved from Google News on November 18, 2012.〕
On Friday April 28, 1995, the remaining 30 women at the facility were transferred out. Most of the women who left the prison were sent to Washington Correctional Institution. Others went to Metro and to the Pulaski Correctional Institution.〔"(WOMEN INMATES MOVED OUT OF BALDWIN )." ''Macon Telegraph''. April 30, 1995. 4B.〕
