Advocates are urging Georgia lawmakers to pass the Public Safety and Parole Transparency Act, as ReNforce and Women on the Rise hosted a public forum on the state’s parole process in Augusta on Thursday, Nov. 12.
At the forum, community advocates explained how parole works, addressed common myths and led an interactive simulation using parole scenarios.
Women on the Rise director and CEO Robyn Simpson said the forum aimed to help people understand the process and consider what is not working and what could better serve the community. The report does not state that lawmakers have passed the act.
