2021 Georgia Code|Title 42 - Penal Institutions|Chapter 2 - Board and Department of Corrections|§ 42-2-14. Power of Governor to Declare State of Emergency With Regard to Jail and Prison Overcrowding

 The Governor, upon certification by the commissioner of corrections and approval by the director of the Office of Planning and Budget that the population of the prison system of the State of Georgia has exceeded the capacity of the prison system for any period of 90 consecutive days, beginning at any time after December 31, 1988, may declare a state of emergency with regard to jail and prison overcrowding. Following the declaration of such emergency, the department may establish additional facilities for use by the department, such facilities to be either of a permanent type of construction or of a temporary or movable type as the department may find most advantageous to the particular needs, to the end that the inmates under its supervision may be so distributed throughout the state as to facilitate individualization of treatment designed to prepare them for lawful living in the community where they are most likely to reside after their release from a correctional facility. For this purpose, the department may purchase or lease sites and suitable lands and erect necessary buildings thereon or purchase or lease existing facilities, all within the limits of appropriations as approved by the General Assembly. With the approval of the Governor, provisions of Chapter 5 of Title 50, relating to the Department of Administrative Services, or provisions of Code Section 50-6-25 or Chapter 22 of Title 50, relating to control over acquisition of professional services, may be waived by the department to facilitate the rapid construction or procurement of facilities for inmates; provided, however, that the authority to waive provisions of Code Section 50-6-25 shall terminate as of July 1, 1991. During any year in which correctional facilities are constructed or procured under this Code section and any requirements are waived, the department shall furnish the Governor and the General Assembly with a detailed report specifying the facilities constructed or procured, the requirements waived, and the reasons therefor.    (Code 1981, §42-2-14, enacted by Ga. L. 1989, p. 57, § 1; Ga. L. 1990, p. 135, § 1; Ga. L. 2012, p. 775, § 42/HB 942.)

"Conviction" means a judgment on a verdict or finding of guilty, a plea of guilty, or a plea of nolo contendere in a felony case but excludes all judgments upon criminal offenses for which the maximum punishment provided by law is death or life imprisonment.   "Court" means any court of competent jurisdiction other than a juvenile court.   "Department" means the Department of Corrections.   "Treatment" means corrective and preventative incarceration, guidance, and training designed to protect the public by correcting the antisocial tendencies of youthful offenders, which may include but is not limited to vocational, educational, and other training deemed fit and necessary by the department.   "Youthful offender" means any male offender who is at least 17 but less than 25 years of age at the time of conviction and who in the opinion of the department has the potential and desire for rehabilitation.    (Ga. L. 1972, p. 592, § 2; Ga. L. 1973, p. 581, § 1; Ga. L. 1975, p. 900, § 1; Ga. L. 1985, p. 420, § 1.)   Code Commission notes.   - Pursuant to Code Section 28-9-5, in 1985, following the passage of Ga. L. 1985, p. 420, "Corrections" was substituted for "Offender Rehabilitation" and "corrections" was substituted for "offender rehabilitation".   JUDICIAL DECISIONS   "Youthful offender."    - Defendant previously convicted of burglaries committed when the defendant was 16 years of age could not have been prosecuted under the Georgia Youthful Offender Act of 1972 (Act), O.C.G.A. § 42-7-1 et seq., because that Act applied to offenders who were at least 17 years of age.

2021 Georgia Code|Title 42 - Penal Institutions|Chapter 7 - Treatment of Youthful Offenders|§ 42-7-3. Providing Institutions and Facilities

  Youthful offenders shall undergo treatment in secure institutions, including training schools, hospitals, farms, and forestry and other camps and including vocational training facilities and other institutions and agencies that will provide the essential varieties of treatment.   The commissioner may, to the extent necessary, set aside such facilities described in subsection (a) of this Code section as are necessary to carry out the purposes of this chapter.   To the extent possible, such institutions and facilities shall be used only for treatment of youthful offenders who have the potential and desire for rehabilitation as provided in this chapter.     (Code 1981, §42-7-3, enacted by Ga. L. 1985, p. 420, § 1.)   OPINIONS OF THE ATTORNEY GENERAL   Editor's notes.   - In light of the similarity of the statutory provisions, opinions rendered under former Chapter 7 of this title, relating to the powers and duties of the former Youthful Offender Division of the Department of Offender Rehabilitation (now Department of Corrections) are included in the opinions for this Code section. See the Editor's notes under the Chapter 7 heading.    Youths transferred from the Department of Human Resources  enjoy a youthful offender status; a parole eligibility date should be established for them, computed on the basis of a six-year determinate sentence, or the maximum potential term for the offense for which the offender was committed, whichever is less. 1975 Op. Att'y Gen. No. 75-50 (decided under former law).    When a combination of youthful offender and standard sentences occur, the Youthful Offender Division may not approve a conditional or unconditional release for the described youthful offender until the youth's concurrent standard sentence has expired; nevertheless, the youth could be assigned to an institution maintained primarily for youthful offenders during the entire period for which the board is charged with custody over the youth, since former Code 1933, § 77-308(b) (see now O.C.G.A. §§ 42-5-50(b),42-5-51(b), (d)) empowered the board to assign inmates to any institution within its system, and subsection (c) of this section authorizes the director (now commissioner) of corrections to segregate youthful offenders from other prisoners. 1973 Op.

2021 Georgia Code|Title 42 - Penal Institutions|Chapter 7 - Treatment of Youthful Offenders|§ 42-7-4. Studies and Diagnoses; Placement of Youthful Offender by Department

  The commissioner shall cause to be made a complete study and diagnosis of each youthful offender, including a physical examination and, where possible and indicated, a mental examination. In the absence of exceptional circumstances, each study and diagnosis shall be completed within a period of 60 days from the date of commitment.   Upon the receipt of all reports and recommendations required by subsection (a) of this Code section, the department shall:   Allocate and direct a transfer of the youthful offender to an institution or facility for treatment; or   Order the youthful offender confined and afforded treatment under such conditions as are necessary for the protection of the public.       (Code 1981, §42-7-4, enacted by Ga. L. 1985, p. 420, § 1.)

GA Code § 42-7-6 (2021)
2021 Georgia Code|Title 42 - Penal Institutions|Chapter 7 - Treatment of Youthful Offenders|§ 42-7-6. Notification of State Board of Pardons and Paroles

 After receipt of the reports and recommendations provided for by subsection (a) of Code Section 42-7-4 and the commissioner or his designee has determined whether or not an individual shall receive youthful offender treatment, the State Board of Pardons and Paroles shall be notified.    (Code 1981, §42-7-6, enacted by Ga. L. 1985, p. 420, § 1.)   OPINIONS OF THE ATTORNEY GENERAL   Editor's notes.   - In light of the similarity of the statutory provisions, opinions were rendered under former Chapter 7 of this title, relating to the powers and duties of the former Youthful Offender Division of the Department of Offender Rehabilitation (now Department of Corrections) are included in the annotations for this Code section. See the Editor's notes under the Chapter 7 heading.    Complete discretion in granting a conditional or unconditional release  was given to the administrators of this former chapter within the time limits specified by the former chapter. Language in a sentence which would either delay release for a stated period or order it to be granted within a shorter period than that described in Ga. L. 1972, p. 592 would not be binding on the Youthful Offender Division, but would only have the effect of a recommendation; thus, an individual sentenced to serve one year under the former chapter could lawfully remain in the physical custody of the division for a period greater or less than one year. 1973 Op. Att'y Gen. No. U73-60 (decided under former law).
