There were 27 inmates sentenced to life in prison who were incarcerated at Atlanta Transitional Center in Fulton County in the third quarter of 2023, according to the Georgia Department of Corrections.
In Atlanta, the City Council has been pushing for stricter penalties through the proposition of "Erica's Law," a bill designed to impose lifetime license suspensions on those who repeatedly commit drunk driving and 'super speeding' offenses. The recently passed resolution asks the Georgia General Assembly to adopt stronger laws against speeding and drunk driving as part of an effort to reduce traffic-related incidents within the city.
