B.A.S.I.C.S. B.A.S.I.C.S.
In 1976, when Chief Justice Warren Burger, of the U. S. Supreme Court, challenged this nation’s lawyers to become more involved in making improvements in the criminal justice system, no one could have foreseen that the BASICS program, established by the State Bar of Georgia, would survive for 34 years. But, as it begins its 34th year, we can proudly report that BASICS has survived and has been successful in its mission to improve our communities by helping reduce recidivism in the criminal justice system. With a recidivism rate of around 16%, and a cost per inmate of considerably less than $1,000, this program is an outstanding example of what education and training can do for everyone.
