I'm a Georgian with seriously opposed views. Liberals and conservatives are known to hate me.
I watched as Nathan Deal tried to improve the justice system of Georgia and I also watched as lobbyists representing privatized probation companies worked hard to repeal the new statutes he'd implemented.
As a member of the state house, what is your stance on privatized probation services, and what, if anything, can you do to make sure that for-profit, privatized law enforcement services are abolished in the state of Georgia?
What can you do to stop corporate lobbyism from affecting the policing of my home state?
Because lemme tell ya sister, it's terrible. The criminal justice system in Georgia has lost its damned mind. People going to jail for simply being broke and whatnot.
WHEN WILL THIS END
And it's not a partisan issue. If anyone, Republicans are the biggest supporters of police, but it was Governor Deal, a Republican, who tried very hard to correct the broken system we have here, but as a result of lobbyists, greed prevailed. I am not the first person to ever defend a Republican by any means, but I must say that Nathan Deal really tried.
This system can't continue if there aren't tons of small crimes that just require high fines to fuel the millions and millions these companies make off Georgia's justice system, which I find deplorable.
