The extra session of Georgia’s General Assembly adjourned after passing a law to end the convict lease system on public highways and the state farm, with the new commission empowered to handle more convicts and funds. The reform, effective March 31, 1909, aims to end inhumane leasing and boost state road work, likely completing lease abolition under the next administration.
