In an American era marked by intense political partnership, criminal justice reform is one policy area where there is come common ground. Across the country we are uniting to rein in prison growth through initiatives that hold offenders accountable while reducing costs, crime and recidivism. Against this backdrop, Georgia, under the leadership of Governor Nathan Deal, stands out as a national model.
