White convicts to be released to Georgia counties for road work
Georgia moves to transfer 1,425 state convicts to 30 counties for public road labor, with about 600 more felons already employed under prior laws. Wardens and county officials gather at the prison commission as plans are executed to assign convicts from lease camps to county road crews amid debate over prison farm ownership. The transition aims to reduce state costs while increasing road construction across counties.
