Georgia Code § 15-12-141 - Jury Deliberation Rooms; Furnishing Food and Beverages

The governing authority of each county shall provide facilities for the impaneling of juries and for their deliberations. Jury deliberation rooms shall ensure the privacy of the jurors and include space, furnishings, and facilities conducive to reaching a fair verdict. The deliberation rooms shall be safe and secure. To the extent feasible, juror facilities shall be arranged to minimize contact between jurors and parties, counsel, and the public. While the jury is deliberating, the presiding judge may direct them to be furnished with such food and nonalcoholic beverages as the judge shall think proper.
