Advocating for Human Rights in Georgia’s Prisons
“Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world; indeed, it’s the only thing that ever has.”
—Margaret Mead (1901-1978)
Join our movement to reform the prison system and ensure constitutional rights for all inmates.
THE CRISIS
Georgia’s prison system is in crisis.
According to the U.S. Department of Justice, the state of Georgia is holding 50,000 prisoners in inhumane & unconstitutional conditions.
Chronic understaffing and unchecked gang activity have led to alarming rates of violence.
What We’re Fighting Against
Corruption in the GDC
Staff misconduct, cover-ups, and a system that protects those in power rather than holding them accountable.
Violence & Unsafe Conditions
Gang control, unchecked murders, assaults, and a system that allows brutality to continue.
A Broken Parole System
Georgia denies parole to thousands who should be released, keeping prisons full for profit.
Inhumane Treatment & Medical Neglect
Prisoners left without medical care, nutritious food, or basic human rights, often leading to preventable deaths.
Retaliation & Silencing of Prisoners
Inmates and their families face punishment for speaking out about abuse, unsafe conditions, and corruption.
Overcrowding & Triple Bunking
Inmates crammed into cells meant for one, leading to increased tension, fights, and worsening mental health.
