Former Piedmont Judicial Circuit District Attorney Tim Madison was transferred Monday morning to the Georgia Diagnostic Center in Jackson, located in central Georgia.

Madison, who was sentenced to serve six years following a guilty plea in Banks County Superior Court last week, turned himself in at the Banks County Jail Saturday morning, sheriff Charles Chapman said.

On Monday morning, two BCSO deputies transported Madison to the Butts County facility to begin serving his term. Chapman said it is possible he could be transferred again.

“There were no incidents here this weekend,” Chapman said of the former district attorney’s stay in the Banks County jail. “He was isolated from other prisoners and when he went outside the rest of the jail was on lock down.”

Chapman said the extra precaution was necessary since Madison prosecuted some of the inmates in the Banks County jail.

In addition to his six-year sentence, Madison was ordered to pay $40,000 in restitution for the money he took from the Piedmont Judicial Circuit, the majority of which was taken from Banks County. The circuit also includes Jackson and Barrow counties.
