Through his advocacy with and community outreach efforts, he works to ensure that every person behind the wall has access to rehabilitation, not retaliation.

🧑🏾‍⚖️ 2. Racial and Economic Disparities

Studies show that:
• Black defendants in Georgia are more likely to receive longer sentences than White defendants for the same offenses.
• Poor defendants without access to skilled legal defense are more likely to take plea deals or face tougher outcomes at trial.
• Rural counties often impose longer sentences than urban areas for similar crimes.

⛓️ 3. Limited Parole and Early Release

Although Georgia technically has parole, the Georgia Board of Pardons and Paroles has been criticized for:
• Inconsistency in granting parole.
• Lack of transparency in decision-making.
• Delays and denials even for model inmates with strong rehabilitation records.

This means that many people serve nearly their full sentence, even when they’ve shown growth and remorse.
