Convict lease issue debated by Candler in Georgia House
Murphy Candler of Kalb spoke on the convict substitute bill bearing his name and opposed the convict lease system. He argued the Steed bill would sell or hire labor as a sovereign function of the state, criticized subleasing, and warned of demoralizing effects on education while proposing a compromise substitute offering counties options to take felons pro rata for road work or for school funding, with a pending revenue balance to be handled by the counties.

Georgia seeks humane prison reform with convict road labor plan
The substitute bill details convicts leased for road work and how counties selecting labor lose school fund interests, while state costs shift to general funds. It argues even with varying convict numbers the net hire grows, outlines lease terms from three to two hundred, and calls for humane, lawful punishment. The speaker urges passage to demonstrate Georgia’s commitment to liberty and reform over dollars.
