Death by Neglect: Georgia’s Prison Medical Care Crisis
Prison shouldn’t be a death sentence, yet in Georgia, medical neglect has become routine, costing inmates their health, dignity, and too often, their lives. Behind bars, preventable illnesses escalate unchecked, while families endure the agony of silence and inaction. This is a humanitarian crisis hidden in plain sight—one that Georgia can no longer ignore.
Violence And Corruption Unleashed: The Truth About Washington SP
Behind the towering walls of Washington State Prison lies a hidden world of chaos and corruption, where gang leaders wield unchecked power, contraband flows freely, and those entrusted with maintaining order blur the line between authority and complicity. The murder of Dontavis Carter on January 7 is not just a singular tragedy but a haunting reflection of a system in crisis—a system where violence thrives, silence is coerced, and justice lies abandoned, much like the cracked gavel in the shadows of this forgotten institution.
Buried Truth: The Story of Roy Mason Morris
When Teresa Lester Sisson learned that her brother, Roy Mason Morris, had died, it wasn’t just the loss that devastated her—it was the revelation that he had been dead for 14 months, and no one had told her.

As Teresa fights for answers, Roy’s story becomes a call to action: a demand for accountability, transparency, and justice for those who have been forgotten.
Forced to Drink: Blue Water Scandal at Washington Prison
Georgia’s prison system is crumbling, and nowhere is this more evident than in the deteriorating infrastructure at facilities like Washington and Autry State Prisons. Most of these prisons, built over 30 years ago, have been neglected for decades, with maintenance funds mismanaged or outright stolen. At Washington State Prison, inmates are forced to bathe in and drink blue-tinted water while officials downplay the issue. Autry State Prison, shut down for over a year due to Legionella contamination, exemplifies how deeply the system has failed to prioritize health and safety.
This pattern of neglect is no accident—our investigation into the Georgia Department of Corrections (Justice for Sale) uncovered a web of no-bid contracts, corruption, and profiteering that allows funds meant for maintenance to vanish into private coffers. Instead of addressing these dire conditions, prison officials continue to prioritize profit over people, leaving inmates trapped in unsafe, inhumane environments. The question remains: how long will this systemic abuse be allowed to persist?
