GA. lawmaker calls for state, county collaboration to address Fulton County Jail conditions

Closer Look with Rose Scott

The Justice Department released a new report that found the conditions at the Fulton County Jail are unsafe, unsanitary and inhumane—as well as a violation of the U.S. Constitution and a defiance of federal law. Georgia State Sen. Sonya Halpern joins “Closer Look” to respond to the findings of the report.

Applications are now open for the FreeRent Foundation’s FreeRent ATL program. Jori Mendel, a partner and chief growth and community development officer at the Roots, talks about the program, the application process and how the program will provide 25 Atlanta families with up to a year of rental relief and other support services. Applications close on November 24.
