Parole Board Chairman Terry Barnard, Executive Director of Parole Chris Barnett and staff visited the Coastal Transitional Center in June and presented two residents with parole certificates. Many area employers provide a great transition opportunity for inmates at the Georgia Department of Corrections Transitional Center. California Cartage Company employs an average of about 25 state inmates or Transitional Center residents of which two, Javontae Parrish and Kevin Starnes, were granted a final parole release during the Board's visit. The public/private partnership between the Georgia Department of Corrections, the Parole Board and area employers including California Cartage Company provides employment opportunities for inmates transitioning to the community where they can learn skills and gain experience that will assist them in a successful reentry.
