A Prophecy on Georgia Criminal Law Reform
A speculative outline argues for sweeping changes to Georgia's criminal system. It envisions state camps replacing county camps, humane reforms tied to work, protection for prisoners' families, abolition of distinctions between felonies and misdemeanors, and life terms for recalcitrant offenders. It also calls for a paroleable system with a records-based path to release and an independent Board of State Commissioners to oversee jails and prisons.
