One page overview detailing PAD’s work to reduce arrest and incarceration of people experiencing extreme poverty, problematic substance use, or mental health concerns through Community Response Services and Pre-Arrest Diversion.

This memo addresses how much Fulton County saved because of diversions to PAD of people who would have otherwise been booked at Fulton County jail, and how much Fulton County spent by detaining people at the Fulton County jail who could have been diverted to PAD

PAD opposes the proposal to expand the Fulton County jail through a lease of the Atlanta City Detention Center and urges the City of Atlanta and Fulton County to advance solutions that will immediately address jail overcrowding without undermining our collective efforts to transform our local criminal justice system.
