Mayor Lester Miller: New Initiatives Will Address Overcrowding At Bibb County Jail, Save $2.5 Million In Taxes Annually
Thursday, June 12th, 2025
Today, Macon-Bibb County Mayor Lester Miller announced several new initiatives he says will improve conditions for inmates inside the Bibb County Jail, ease the burden on staff and benefit county residents. The announcement comes after community outcry, protests, and a series of fatal incidents inside the jail, including the stabbing death of inmate Brelee Johnson last week.
Miller says a 30-day audit will identify 150 inmates at the jail who’ve been charged with nonviolent offences and deemed not to be a threat to public safety. Miller says those inmates will be released wearing ankle monitors and required to work, helping to support the community and their family members.
