Mothers Against Drunk Driving – Georgia (MADD Georgia) will be present at Victims Visitors’ Day in honor of National Crime Victims’ Rights Week on Wednesday, April 11th and Thursday, April 12th. The Georgia Office of Victim Services and the Stone Mountain Judicial Circuit Victim-Witness Assistance Program will host the event at the Georgia Piedmont Technical College Conference Center in Clarkston, GA.

Victims Visitors’ Day is an opportunity for families whose offender(s) are incarcerated or on Community Supervision (probation/parole) to discuss their offender’s case confidentially with representatives of the Department of Corrections, the State Board of Pardons and Paroles, and the Department of Community Supervision.

• Receive current information on offender, including maximum release data, parole date and where inmate is incarcerated

• Register to receive future notifications of the offender’s status

• Submit Victim Impact Statements

• Receive Victim Services Information
