Fix the DA’s Office. The DA has misappropriated enough funds to have a top notch jail.

[charlesbusch]

If the DA office did not waste so much money, the jail could be improved. Why were non violent persons sent to jail? To get an education.

[ForTheMoneyCash]

Rice street has looked like that for over 10 years. This is not new. Glad they are finally going to clean it up

[datrill]

How t/f do you get to the point 1000 doors are broken??? Somebody needs to be fired ASAP

[thelobb]

If your jail isn't staffed how do you think it's going to be run

[deborahbaker]

Wouldn’t it be cheaper to get a new jail those repair’s would probably cost more then a new jail ‼️

[TheBakeryrs]

REPAIRING THE "JAIL" it needs to be CONDEMNED ASAP it's a death trap 💯

[wealthyblackman]

😮they need to fix the revolving doors that lead in and out of the jail!!

[Thingstheywontteach]

The schools look bad too and the school lunch is inadequate let’s talk about that too .

[darius]

Just an example of how contractors rip off the government/taxpayers. You got 100+ year old houses standing strong today. But this 35 y/o building is in shambles.

[jboggs]

Too bad all our money is tied up in other countries wars and illegal immigrant handouts so your jail will just go to crap.

[qaddaffiuzumaki]

No one should be spending time in jail for a nonviolent offense…15 years should be the maximum amount of time an individual can do…

[millicentowens]

How did they let it get to this point ? That's crazy

[ericqg]

1000 Doors.... sounds like rebuilding a jail is the last thing on anyones mind, especially if no money is even coming in.

[myvideosbrown]

it look like the hulk broke the doors😂😂😂😂😂

[mindfreaker]

Shut that place down already i dont even live in that state in im tired of bs there

[blockrunner]

Let them go home. I was locked in DeKalb for 5 months hearing about how much worse Fulton County Jail was while DeKalb allowed inmates to rig doors and walk around with shanks and ppl get stabbed and the ones who do it still stay in regular population.

[GregLakatosChradm]

This is a total disaster and people need to go.

[smokerise]

Yo fani, why don't you focus on this instead of wasting millions in Georgia taxpayer's money on a case you're going to lose?

[barbatkinson]

Yes Fani needs to be put in prison if Fani put money in a budget in stead of spending all the money on wade and Trips the Jail would be fixed
