Investigation into Atlanta jail history and debate over closing

An Atlanta building, barely a quarter-century old, stands tall on the cities south side. But it s the history and the communities battle over the building that casts an even bigger shadow. Built in the 90s as Atlanta won the bid to host the Olympics, the Atlanta City Detention Center made national headlines. It was made to house low-risk individuals who violate city ordinances. Around the same time, the city passed an ordinance that made loitering a new punishable offense. The community pushed back saying it was a way to penalize the homeless population and rid the city streets of them.

Harper: Atlanta, Georgia s brand, is hurting

Harper: Atlanta, Georgia’s brand, is hurting Charlie Harper This is a column by Charlie Harper, publisher of GeorgiaPol.com and executive director of PolicyBEST. Earlier this month, Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms announced she will not run for re-election. Note that elections within the City of Atlanta are held this year. In six months, new city leaders will be selected at the ballot box. It’s important to note that the hyper-partisanship that will again draw national attention and dollars to Georgia’s 2022 statewide November elections are not the same factor in the race Mayor Bottoms has side-stepped. Despite the contest being officially non-partisan, it is a virtual certainty that whomever is elected to replace her will be a highly progressive Democrat.

Determined to change policing in Texas’ capital city, the Austin City Council last August voted to cut one-third of its police budget to fund mental health programs, a hotel for homeless people and other alternative public safety measures. Only a year earlier, the council had resoundingly rejected a proposal to divert a tiny fraction of that spending. Then came the killing of George Floyd in Minneapolis, which radically expanded the ideas Americans are willing to contemplate to transform policing. “It’s clear that millions of people marching in unison and calling for change really pushed elected officials to make more transformative change,” said Greg Casar, the Austin City Council member who proposed the cuts. “My office alone received about 20,000 calls and e-mails from Austinites in the week where protests and marches were most heightened in Austin asking for change to the budget.”
