To help Georgia implement the policies contained in HB 1176, which contains many of the policies recommended to the legislature by the Georgia Special Council for Criminal Justice Reform. Technical assistance will begin with strategic planning to help the state and relevant agencies identify goals and priorities, and it will result in an implementation plan. By working with the state to develop an implementation plan, Vera will be able to facilitate Georgia’s application for seed funding from BJA to jumpstart some justice reinvestment policies. Additional technical assistance will include helping the state measure the public safety impacts of the JRI policies, strategically plan for the development and roll out of a presentence risk tool, assisting the state to bring additional evidence-based practices to their criminal justice system, and reporting to the Special Council for Criminal Justice Reform on implementation activities and challenges.
