About

Inmates for Keisha

Inmates for Keisha is an independent criminal justice advocacy initiative dedicated to reducing recidivism in Georgia by elevating the voices of incarcerated and justice-impacted individuals.​

This initiative supports Keisha Lance Bottoms for Governor of Georgia because her understanding of the criminal justice system is both professional and deeply personal. Keisha knows firsthand how incarceration affects families and communities. Growing up, her father was incarcerated, and she experienced the system not as an outsider, but as a child visiting a parent behind bars. Those early experiences shaped her understanding of how incarceration extends far beyond prison walls and impacts generations.

Because of this lived experience, Keisha has consistently demonstrated a commitment to rehabilitation, accountability, and public safety. She understands that when systems are underfunded and voices inside are ignored, recidivism increases and communities are weakened. She also understands that meaningful reform requires listening to those most impacted and investing in pathways that prepare people for life after release.

Inmates for Keisha exists to amplify incarcerated voices and to support leadership that recognizes the human side of justice. We believe Keisha Lance Bottoms represents a vision for Georgia that prioritizes rehabilitation, reduces repeat incarceration, and builds safer communities by giving people a real opportunity to succeed.

Our Focus

Inmates for Keisha is focused on advancing criminal justice priorities that reduce recidivism, strengthen public safety, and ensure Georgia’s justice system works more effectively for everyone.

Reducing Recidivism

We advocate for approaches that address the root causes of repeat incarceration. When rehabilitation and reentry are underfunded or ignored, recidivism rises. Reducing repeat incarceration strengthens families, communities, and public safety across Georgia.

Rehabilitation and Education

Access to education, vocational training, and skill-building opportunities while incarcerated is essential to successful reentry. Rehabilitation works when people are given the tools to rebuild their lives and contribute positively after release.

Reentry and Opportunity

Successful reentry requires preparation, support, and opportunity. We support efforts that help justice-impacted individuals transition back into their communities with pathways to employment, stability, and accountability.

Public Safety Through Smart Justice

We advocate for approaches that address the root causes of repeat incarceration. When rehabilitation and reentry are underfunded or ignored, recidivism rises. Reducing repeat incarceration strengthens families, communities, and public safety across Georgia.

Reducing Recidivism Through Rehabilitation and giving the Georgians a Voice.

The Governor of Georgia is the chief executive of the state and oversees the executive branch of government. The Governor appoints the leadership of most state agencies and boards, including those that directly impact criminal justice, corrections, education, public safety, and reentry services.
This includes appointive authority over:
The Department of Corrections
The Board of Corrections
Juvenile Justice leadership
Community Supervision
Public Safety and related agencies
The Governor also proposes the state budget and sets policy priorities that influence how resources are allocated for rehabilitation, education, and reentry programs. A detailed overview of the Governor’s appointive authority and the executive branch structure is shown in the State of Georgia Organizational Structure chart.

Because the Governor appoints agency leadership and influences funding priorities, gubernatorial leadership plays a major role in determining whether rehabilitation, education, and reentry programs are expanded, underfunded, or ignored. Executive leadership directly affects how policies are implemented across Georgia’s justice system. handbook-galeg-state-org-chart

What Are Keisha Lance Bottoms’ Plans

Keisha Lance Bottoms supports a targeted prison reform strategy centered on vocational rehabilitation and college education for incarcerated individuals in Georgia. Her approach focuses on expanding access to education and workforce training so individuals are better prepared for successful reentry. Key components include:

Expanding vocational and college education inside state prisons by leveraging the fact that each state prison is located within approximately 20 miles of a vocational or technical college

Establishing satellite college campuses within correctional facilities, allowing incarcerated individuals to access accredited education without leaving the facility

Offering workforce-focused training, including Commercial Driver’s License (CDL) programs, for individuals who are approximately four to five years from release

Preparing participants to be job-ready upon release, with skills aligned to high-demand industries and workforce needs

How Will She Work To Achieve This

Keisha Lance Bottoms’ approach emphasizes using existing infrastructure and funding mechanisms, rather than creating entirely new systems. This includes:
  • Partnering with nearby technical colleges and vocational institutions to operate satellite campuses inside state prisons, making education more accessible
  • Prioritizing enrollment for individuals nearing release, ensuring training aligns with immediate reentry timelines and workforce demand
  • Funding these programs through existing state lottery revenues, which maintain reserves beyond minimum legal requirements
  • Aligning education and vocational training with employment pipelines, so participants can transition more directly into the workforce upon release

Participation in these programs is intended to support rehabilitation and reentry preparation. Enrollment and participation may support eligibility for earlier release by demonstrating rehabilitation and reentry readiness, consistent with state law and correctional policies.

Why This Matters

By focusing on education, vocational training, and workforce readiness before release.
this approach aims to

Reduce Recidivism

Strengthen Public Safety

Lower long-term incarceration costs

Supporting reentry after incarceration

Is participation voluntary?

Yes. Participation is completely voluntary. Signing the petition does not create
any obligation, legal responsibility, or personal commitment.
