Years of mismanagement, overcrowding, and neglect have created unsafe and unacceptable conditions. Fulton County is now operating under a federal consent decree that requires major reforms to bring the jail into compliance with constitutional standards.

Aaron believes the focus must be on fixing the system and restoring accountability. The jail must be safe for everyone inside it — including the detention officers and staff who work there every day and the individuals being held in custody.

It’s time to fix it.
As Commissioner, Aaron will push for reforms that include:
Safer conditions for both detention officers and detainees
Reducing overcrowding through smarter case management and diversion programs
Expanded mental health and treatment services
Greater transparency so the public understands how the system is functioning
A justice system that works protects public safety while treating people with dignity and fairness.
