Andrea Young, the executive director of the ACLU of Georgia returns to “Closer Look” to discuss the findings of a new poll about the Fulton County Jail. According to the poll, half of Fulton County voters believe the jail is poorly managed, dangerous, and overcrowded. The poll also reveals that two out of three voters believe the county should renovate the existing jail instead of spending nearly $2 billion to build a new one.

 

Plus, for our graduation series, we hear from Georgia Tech grad Courtney Curtis. The second-generation Georgia Tech student discusses her academic journey and how she plans to use her passion for sewing and biomedical engineering to help others.
