Invisible Scars: Cycle of Retaliation and Abuse in Georgia Prisons
Inside Georgia’s prisons, silence is enforced through fear, and those who speak up are punished brutally. Officers incite beatings, gang members control dorms, and retaliation is policy—not exception.

Death by Neglect: Georgia’s Prison Medical Care Crisis
