Georgia Supreme Court Chief Justice P. Harris Hines spoke up for probation reforms, juvenile justice support, legal help for middle income families and a unified gateway for electronic filings in his first State of the Judiciary address to a joint session of the General Assembly Wednesday at the Capitol.
Hines pushed this year’s priority for the criminal justice reform movement Gov. Nathan Deal launched when he took office in 2011: probation. Hines noted that, while efforts led by the Council on Criminal Justice Reform have reduced the prison population and spending and made the state a model for others, more work needs to be done.
