www.GoodMorningGwinnett.com The Gwinnett County Sheriff's Office announced Tuesday that it is installing a bit of military rigor into a part of county jail set up to specifically house inmates who are also military veterans.
The Sheriff's Office unveiled "The Barracks," a 70-bed jail housing unit that is designed to mimic some of the aspects of life in the military. Officials said that particularly includes the regimented and disciplined lifestyle typically associated with life in the armed forces.
“Our goal is to help reconnect these inmates to the time in their lives when they made better decisions, respected authority and obeyed the law," Sheriff Butch Conway said in a statement. "This program has the potential to greatly influence these inmates and help them lead more productive lives when they’re released from custody.”
