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!
