If SB 25 doesn't pass the Senate by Crossover Day, it likely won't move again until 2027. Public pressure between January and March is critical for Georgia parole reform. https://gps.press/georgias-2026-legislative-session-a-second-chance-for-real-parole-reform/

Georgia's parole system operates in secrecy, denying families basic transparency about release decisions. The Second Chance Parole Reform Act of 2026 would establish presumptive parole—meaning people who complete programs and maintain good conduct should be released unless clear evidence shows continuing risk.
This isn't about taking power away from the Parole Board. It's about ensuring accountability to the same principles of justice that Georgia's laws already uphold. Will your legislators support transparency over political silence? https://gps.press/georgias-2026-legislative-session-a-second-chance-for-real-parole-reform/

Georgia's 2026 legislative session starts January 13, and advocates have a narrow window to pass real parole reform. The Second Chance Parole Reform Act would create presumptive parole—people who complete programs and maintain good conduct should be released unless clear evidence shows continuing risk. Without action by Crossover Day in March, reform likely won't move again until 2027. https://gps.press/georgias-2026-legislative-session-a-second-chance-for-real-parole-reform/

Georgia's parole system lacks basic transparency and accountability measures found in most states. The Second Chance Parole Reform Act of 2026 proposes presumptive parole standards—requiring release for individuals who complete rehabilitation programs and maintain good conduct unless clear evidence demonstrates continuing public safety risk.
With the legislative session beginning January 13 and a March crossover deadline, policymakers have a limited window to advance reforms that could restore trust in Georgia's justice system while maintaining public safety priorities. The proposal builds on existing transparency legislation (SB 25) to create genuine accountability in parole decision-making. https://gps.press/georgias-2026-legislative-session-a-second-chance-for-real-parole-reform/
