OPINIONS OF THE ATTORNEY GENERAL
Ga. L. 1968, p. 1110, § 1 is not an ex post facto or retroactive law. 1969 Op. Att'y Gen. No. 69-95.
Primary purpose of Ga. L. 1968, p. 1110, § 1 is to aid the prisoner in rendering the prisoner's future more certain by allowing the prisoner to request the disposition of outstanding charges against the prisoner while the prisoner is confined; such a purpose is inconsistent with an authorization to the Board of Offender Rehabilitation (Corrections) to hold the prisoner after the prisoner's sentence has expired. 1969 Op. Att'y Gen. No. 69-410.
Detaining prisoner after expiration of sentence.- It was not contemplated that the board should have the power to hold a prisoner after the expiration of the prisoner's sentence. 1969 Op. Att'y Gen. No. 69-410.
