CERTAIN offenders could get their sentences cut in half if they agree to get the Covid vaccine in a shocking new policy.
Georgia’s Hall and Dawson counties are offering this incentive in an effort to increase Covid vaccination rates among adults.
This incentive will be available to people doing community service as part of their sentence.
Hall County Court Administrator Jason Stephenson said that judges can offer up to 20 to 40 hours for those qualified to participate.
Stephenson spoke about the new project saying: “In our judge’s view, every shot in the arm is a service to the community.
“For some offenders it does seem appropriate to recognize that the time and the cost involved and perhaps lining up childcare, taking time off from work, arranging for transportation, and making to a vaccination site – not once but twice. This recognizes the commitment they’ve made in doing that.”
