These photos reveal the harsh reality inside Georgia’s prisons, where prisoners are often forced to set up makeshift tents in the dormitories. Many can’t safely live in their assigned cells due to the constant threat of violence. Gang members frequently take over rooms, forcing civilians out with threats and intimidation. Overcrowded conditions exacerbate the problem, but it’s the unchecked gang control that makes survival even more precarious.
The administration’s response? They turn a blind eye as long as the “tent city” is cleared away before inspections. This neglect further enables gangs to dominate and creates a hostile environment for those just trying to endure their sentences in peace.
