The reelection of Vice Chair Bolton was confirmed during the Board of Juvenile Justice’s July meeting. He will now serve a third two-year term in his elected role.

The Board of Juvenile Justice is a combination of professionals, attorneys, law enforcement, public servants, and others interested in improving the juvenile justice system in Georgia. The objective of the Board is to provide leadership in developing programs to rehabilitate juvenile offenders committed to the state’s custody successfully and give guidance to the Commissioner.
