Georgia Justice Project To Host ‘Second Chance’ Advocacy Day

The Georgia Justice Project says the state currently has one of the most restrictive expungement laws in the country. Six bills related to expanding expungement are pending in Georgia’s Legislature this year.

A group is working to give qualified and rehabilitated former inmates an opportunity to wipe away their convictions.

The Feb. 11 “Second Chance Day” is aimed at advocating for Georgians with criminal records to get a second chance by helping them remove barriers to employment and housing.

The Georgia Justice Project, and several of its partners, will host the advocacy day to focus on expanding expungement.
