For Tim Kaferly, the cavalry will be wearing orange jumpsuits and wielding paintbrushes. Kaferly is district manager of a tire shop in east metro Atlanta that is the frequent target of gang-related graffiti. To help Kaferly and other business owners, Gwinnett County is the first community to take advantage of a new state law allowing the use of inmate labor to paint over graffiti on private property. Teams of inmates should be fanning out with buckets of paint within the month. Details of the local ordinance - from which businesses are visited first to how much paint is used on each job - are still being hammered out. But officials say that gang graffiti will be the only unwanted painting that will get inmate attention. |
