Georgia has both the highest number of people on probation and the longest probation sentences – by far. People are often kept on probation long after they have demonstrated they are rehabilitated. To address this issue, Georgia Justice Project (GJP) worked with stakeholders and the legislature to pass SB 105, which was signed into law on May 3, 2021. SB 105 will help individuals who no longer need to be on felony probation move on with their lives. If you are serving a felony probation sentence, SB 105 may help you.
