Most-quoted passages
The sentences later courts lift from this opinion, ranked by how many decisions quote each — the parts of the opinion doing the work. These counts are smaller than the citation total above because most of the 8 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“We have ruled that [ OCGA § 42-4-7 (b) (1) & (3) ] are directly related to the duties of administration, affirmatively delegated to the custodians of inmates by the legislature. Likewise, our Supreme Court has ruled that a sentencing judge has no authority to say what good-time or extra good-time allowance a prisoner shall be given, as the law vests that authority in the Board of Corrections for prisoners under its jurisdiction and as to misdemeanor prisoners sentenced to serve in the county, in the custodian of the prisoners.”
