We explain why there are laws designed to reduce prison times for non-violent offenders.
Georgia’s prison population has exploded over the past two decades, and the costs for housing inmates have risen to some $1 billion a year. Our panel discusses efforts to ease the problem by looking for alternatives to long sentences for non-violent offenders. Then we look at efforts to expand legal moonshine operations in Georgia.
