Death by Neglect: The Hidden Deaths Inside Georgia Prisons

At Georgia’s main prison, men are dying from neglect—not executions. The sick go untreated, suicides are ignored, and bodies vanish from the record. These aren’t isolated cases—they’re the rule. Read how Georgia’s prison system erases the dead and silences the living.

Prisneyland: What Prison Should Be

California is proving what real reform looks like.
At Valley State Prison, there were zero homicides and only one serious violent incident last year.
In Georgia, there were 333 deaths and more than 100 murders.
The difference? California invests in education and rehabilitation, not concrete and isolation.

“Prisneyland” isn’t soft — it’s smart. It’s what prison should be.

Georgia’s “Hardened” Solution: Another Fortress Instead of Reform

Georgia is spending hundreds of millions on new “hardened” prisons while people inside are starving, dying, and losing hope.

The state calls it reform, but it’s really just repackaged repression — concrete solutions to moral failures. The Department of Justice has already declared Georgia’s prisons unconstitutional, yet instead of addressing the root causes — chronic understaffing, violence, medical neglect, and starvation — the state keeps doubling down on construction contracts and calling it progress.

Prisoners are wasting away on trays of cold grits and two slices of bologna while $600 million is poured into walls, gates, and locks. If Georgia redirected even a fraction of that money to food, healthcare, and staffing, violence would drop, lives would be saved, and rehabilitation might finally mean something again.

Until Georgia chooses reform over repression, its new walls will stand as monuments to failure, not justice.

Georgia Supreme Court Opens Door for Prisoners to Challenge Convictions Based on Outdated Science

Georgia prisoners convicted on discredited forensic evidence now have precedent for new trials. Southern Center for Human Rights wins landmark Smith case.

Starved and Silenced: The Hidden Crisis Inside Georgia Prisons

“My son went in weighing 180 pounds. Now he looks like he belongs in a concentration camp.”

Across Georgia’s prisons, men and women are wasting away — surviving on a few spoonfuls of grits, bologna, and moldy air. The Department of Corrections calls it efficiency. We call it **cruelty by design.**

Starvation, disease, and violence are the price of Georgia’s broken prison food system — a system that profits from suffering and punishes the hungry.

The Hidden Violence in Georgia’s Prisons: Beyond the Death Toll

For every person killed in Georgia’s prisons, as many as 12 to 18 others are stabbed, slashed, or beaten so severely they require hospitalization. In 2024, that means nearly 1,200 men and women left with permanent scars, organ loss, or lifelong trauma — violence the state never counts.

Stop the Silence: Why Georgia Must Legalize and Monitor Cell Phones in Prisons

Georgia already bought the tech to control prison cellphones. MAS can register and monitor devices, protect victims, and flag real crime—without illegal jamming or silencing families. It’s time to use MAS to supervise phones, not push them underground.

Why Georgia Hasn’t Had Its Attica—Yet

Inmate speech at Georgia prison highlighting issues related to detention, incarceration, and prisoner rights.

Despite horrific conditions, Georgia’s prisons haven’t erupted like Attica—yet. Fear, fragmentation, and surveillance suppress rebellion, but pressure is building. This exposé examines why no major uprising has happened, and what must change before one does.

Exposé: How Georgia’s Justice System Functions as a Criminal Enterprise

Georgia prisoners’ speak about Georgia’s criminal justice system and its operation as a criminal enterprise, highlighting issues within Georgia’s justice system and advocating for reform.

Georgia’s prison system is rotting from the inside—and the cover-up goes all the way to the Attorney General’s office. From smuggled contraband to hidden evidence and retaliated whistleblowers, this investigation exposes how deep the corruption runs.

Unconstitutional: Georgia’s Extrajudicial Punishment

When judges hand down prison sentences, the punishment is supposed to match the crime. But in Georgia, the real sentence isn’t what’s on paper—it’s what happens behind the walls: violence, medical neglect, and trauma that far exceed what the law allows. This isn’t just a moral crisis. It’s a constitutional one.
