OUR MOVEMENT

We are the voices behind the walls of the Georgia Department of Corrections demanding humane treatment, protection, and humane conditions. We are fighting to stop the endless deaths and suffering caused by indifference to our humanity.

Our lives matter!
The Constitution matters!

OUR GOAL

Engagement with the Georgia DOC administration, the courts, and the public to create a productive criminal justice system. Public awareness of the abuses born by indifference to prison conditions. Accountability from the state for overcrowding, understaffing, aging facilities, and cruel treatment. Acceptance of our humanity and our worth as redeemable reflections of society in need of reform.

THIS WEBSITE

This website is part of a plan to educate the public, media, and government stakeholders of what real human suffering looks like behind bars and to make the case that at the root of the problems are blatant violations of constitutional protections by correction officers and prison administrators throughout the state. This site is an argument. This site is a plea. This site is an assertion of constitutional rights.

CRUELTY MANIFESTED IN THREE AREAS:

Classification – Placing inmates in environments where they are vulnerable to harm is a silent death sentence. It’s a deliberate act disguised as a mistake, leaving victims in deadly situations.

Food – Insufficient portions lead to desperation, with meals often controlled by the strongest inmates. This leaves the weaker and outnumbered fighting for survival, both physically and mentally.

Staffing – Chronic understaffing shifts power to the most aggressive inmates, creating a deadly hierarchy. Indifference from the administration enables this, amounting to cruelty by allowing violence to thrive unchecked.

HOW YOU CAN HELP

Georgia’s prison system is in crisis.
According to the U.S. Department of Justice, unconstitutional conditions, chronic understaffing, and unchecked violence have led to alarming rates of suicides, homicides, and overdoses.

But you have the power to push for change.

ABOUT US

Georgia Prisoners Speak (GPS) is a community driven, transformative justice initiative geared towards stimulating discussion and reform in the State of Georgia’s prison and parole system. GPS was created due to the sheer desperate necessity to provide a platform for the voices of prisoners to be heard over the public cacophony of lying voices, rug-covering and budget begging that constitutes the Georgia Department of Corrections (GDC).

GPS aims to hold Georgia Department of Corrections officials, at both the agency and individual facility levels, accountable to the public, the families of incarcerated persons, lawmakers and courts of civil redress by exposing all of the inhumane, corrupt, illegal, disgusting and incompetent acts of the state prison agency.

Transparency is the key. For far too long, there has been very little, if any, oversight and accountability in Georgia’s prison system. It is our mission at GPS to put on display all of the lurid, atrocious and inhuman things occurring within the prison facilities of the GDC, all of the things they endeavor so heartily to conceal. We aim to make the GDC transparently accountable, forcibly if need be.

And so we invite all incarcerated persons and their loved ones to forward us all images, all videos, all reports that demonstrate understaffing, prisoner murders, prisoner suicides, medical refusals, unsanitary and unfit living conditions, vermin infestations, etc. We can’t make a dent alone, but together we can be storm and fury. So, along with Georgia’s prisoners, speak and be heard!
