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. 

New Fulton Co Sheriff Wants County To Buy Atlanta s Mostly Empty Jail

Fulton County’s new sheriff has announced he wants to buy Atlanta’s mostly empty jail and begin housing more inmates there.  It’s a proposal that would upend promises by Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms and a notable departure from the momentum that’s been building for years to close Atlanta’s City Detention Center.  “This is an opportunity for the city to get out of the jail business and the sheriff’s office to do what we do,” Sheriff Patrick Labat, who ran Atlanta’s jail for the last ten years, told WABE.  He was a member of a task force Mayor Bottoms asked to come up with recommendations on the future of the jail.
