There are proven, sustainable alternatives to reduce overcrowding in Fulton County: ▪️ Stop detaining people just because they can't afford bond ▪️ Release people charged only with misdemeanors ▪️ Indict people in a timely manner ▪️ Send more eligible people to diversion programs — PolitiTweet.org

Many of these commonsense policies are required by law in Georgia — and our new report with @ACLUofGA finds that if the county had followed them, 728 of the 2,892 people detained on a single day could have been released. That’s 25%, all unnecessarily detained. — PolitiTweet.org
