Georgia's parole system is killing people—literally. In 2024 alone, 332 people died in custody, including over 100 homicides. Meanwhile, inmates with life-with-parole sentences are waiting 30, 40, sometimes 50 years for release that may never come. Many die from hopelessness before they ever get a fair hearing.
The Second Chance Parole Reform Act could change this by requiring actual hearings, written explanations for denials, and clear pathways to release for those who've demonstrated rehabilitation. What will it take for Georgia lawmakers to act? https://gps.press/second-chance-act/

Georgia saw 332 deaths in custody in 2024—over 100 were homicides. Inmates are waiting decades for parole hearings that never come, dying from hopelessness in a system that refuses accountability. The Second Chance Parole Reform Act would require actual hearings, written decisions, and clear paths to redemption for those who've changed their lives behind bars.

Georgia's parole system represents a critical policy failure with deadly consequences. In 2024, the state recorded 332 deaths in custody, including over 100 homicides, while inmates serving life-with-parole sentences wait 30-50 years for hearings that may never materialize.
The proposed Second Chance Parole Reform Act offers evidence-based solutions: presumptive parole for those meeting rehabilitation benchmarks, mandatory hearings with written decisions, and independent oversight. Other states have successfully implemented similar reforms. Georgia policymakers have an opportunity to save lives and reduce recidivism through systematic parole reform. https://gps.press/second-chance-act/
