GEORGIA REENTRY EFFORTS
In 2013 , the Governor ' s Office of Transition , Support , and Reentry ( GOTSR ), was created to implement the third phase of reform and launched the state Georgia Prisoner Reentry Initiative ( GA-PRI ).
To successfully execute the vision of the Georgia Council on Criminal Justice Reform , GOTSR applied and was awarded three Bureau of Justice Assistance ( BJA ) grants totaling $ 6.5 million over four years .
On April 27 , 2016 , then Georgia Governor Nathan Deal signed Senate Bill 367 , an important bill that reduces barriers to reentry for thousands of returning citizens across Georgia .
