Department of Community Supervion
2019 Revocation Fact Sheet This report contains meaningful data that better reflects the difference we are making in communities across Georgia - especially in regards to revocations for technical violations . Of the 267,514 individuals we supervised in 2019 , only 1,173 had their probation revoked for a technical violation …. that only amounts to 0.44 % of the entire supervision population for that period .
Because of their considerable impact on individuals and institutions , there is considerable discussion amongst criminal justice analysts surrounding probation revocations and their placement of prison and jail populations . The context surrounding revocations has not always been representative of the exceptional work the Georgia Department of Community Supervision ( DCS ) is doing to ensure the individuals under our supervision receive the resources , services , and support they need to succeed . Day in and day out , the DCS Team is exhausting all possible alternatives to incarceration to keep the individuals we work with out of prison .
