Justice Unfiltered welcomes Robb Pitts, Chairman of the Fulton County Board of Commissioners, for a wide-ranging conversation about jobs, justice, and a five-point plan that could reshape life inside the Rice Street Jail. Hosts Tug Cowart and Daniel Matalon, CEO of A 2nd Chance

Bail Bonds and A 2nd Chance Monitoring, sit down with the longtime Atlanta leader who helped bring the 1996 Olympics to Georgia and is now running for re-election in the May 19 Democratic primary.

Pitts walks through the projects he says will define South Fulton's next decade, including a new 200-bed Grady-partner hospital, a botanical garden under construction in College Park, a roughly $150 million expansion of Fulton County Airport designed to enable direct flights to Europe, and a truck driving and logistics training school built to put 600 students a year into six-figure careers.

The center of the conversation is the jail. Pitts breaks down his five-point plan to reduce the Rice Street population without building a new $2 billion facility, leaning on ankle monitors, court date reminders, the underused Center for Diversion and Services, and a renovated Rice Street paired with a new mental health facility on the same footprint. He also explains his case for keeping Fulton's millage rate flat for the eighth straight year, the county's first-ever AAA bond rating, and what he saw on election night in 2020 that he says he will never forget.

It is honest, occasionally country, and full of the kind of behind-the-scenes detail you only get when the guy who delivered Atlanta's Olympic bid is the one telling the story.

Hosted by Tug Cowart and Daniel Matalon, CEO of A 2nd Chance Bail Bonds and A 2nd Chance Monitoring.
