With 1 in 7 adults now branded as felons and over 30,000 new felony convictions in 2024 alone, the state profits from a system designed for control, not justice. Private probation companies extract tens of millions annually, while prison suicides have tripled in five years. Is this the justice system we want in Georgia?
