Counties Weigh Convict Work Distribution in State
Twenty four counties have asked for more convicts than their current allotment for road work. Only thirty have replied so far, with most seeking increases while four counties not using convicts now want none. A dozen counties already use state felons, and officials expect 10 to 12 new applications this year as distribution likely grows more uneven than last year. Georgia Day set for February 12 with school children observing statewide.
