Everyone else gets four years, no attorney, and rationed law-library access to teach themselves a profession that takes seven years to learn. The deadline doesn't reject wrongful-conviction claims. It buries them unheard...[Read More](https://gps.press/buried-alive-the-four-year-deadline-that-killed-habeas-corpus-in-georgia/)[![image](https://gps.press/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/C4EF5CBD-C213-4CA6-BB2A-ABE4A4F0B9DC.jpg)](https://gps.press/the-felon-train-how-georgia-turns-citizens-into-convicts/) ### [The Felon Train: How Georgia Turns Citizens into Convicts](https://gps.press/the-felon-train-how-georgia-turns-citizens-into-convicts/) “One in seven adults in Georgia is a felon. Do you really believe over a million people are just criminals? No. This system is rigged to keep the prisons full.” Georgia’s justice system isn’t about justice—it’s about control. It’s about turning everyday people into lifelong convicts, feeding a machine built to profit from mass incarceration. People like Wayne Key, who spent a decade behind bars—not for violence, not for endangering others, but for the same substances now sold legally on every street corner. The Felon Train isn’t just real—it’s running full speed, and once you’re on it, there’s almost no way off. Overcharging, forced plea deals, probation traps, and a parole board that answers to no one—it’s all designed to keep Georgia’s prisons full and its citizens powerless. If you think this can’t happen to you, think again...[Read More](https://gps.press/the-felon-train-how-georgia-turns-citizens-into-convicts/)[![image](https://gps.press/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/mcp-pathimport-029b32a50e04-1-1.jpg)](https://gps.press/the-2900-calorie-menu-that-53-cents-cant-buy/) ### [The 2,900-Calorie Menu That 53 Cents Can’t Buy](https://gps.press/the-2900-calorie-menu-that-53-cents-cant-buy/) A Georgia legislator assured a constituent that state prisons serve a 2,900-calorie, dietitian-designed menu meeting "American Dietary Association" guidelines. The State's own budget funds about 53 cents a meal — and there is no American Dietary Association...[Read More](https://gps.press/the-2900-calorie-menu-that-53-cents-cant-buy/)[![image](https://gps.press/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/mcp-upload-4eb58bf030e6-1-1.jpg)](https://gps.press/the-crime-lab-how-georgia-built-convictions-on-junk-science-and-who-paid-for-it/) ### [The Crime Lab: How Georgia Built Convictions on Junk Science — and Who Paid for It](https://gps.press/the-crime-lab-how-georgia-built-convictions-on-junk-science-and-who-paid-for-it/) For two decades Georgia's crime lab was run by a man who was not a physician or forensic pathologist, and built convictions on hair and fiber methods now known to be unreliable. At least 17 states reviewed such cases. Georgia didn't — and the guilty went free while the innocent went to prison...[Read More](https://gps.press/the-crime-lab-how-georgia-built-convictions-on-junk-science-and-who-paid-for-it/)[![image](https://gps.press/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/mcp-pathimport-b35de6c6527d-1.jpg)](https://gps.press/the-receipts-were-always-the-point/) ### [The Receipts Were Always the Point](https://gps.press/the-receipts-were-always-the-point/) Courage didn't end the injustices we teach as history — documentation did. From John Howard to Ida B. Wells, reformers won by making suffering impossible to deny. GPS is that method turned on Georgia's prisons, with the entire record now given freely to the world...[Read More](https://gps.press/the-receipts-were-always-the-point/)[![A corroded, rust-stained institutional faucet drips discolored water beside aging exposed pipes in a decaying state facility.](https://gps.press/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/mcp-upload-9ccf1934339c.png)](https://gps.press/theres-nothing-wrong-with-the-water/) ### [There’s Nothing Wrong with the Water](https://gps.press/theres-nothing-wrong-with-the-water/) Georgia's public-health agency confirmed Legionella in a South Georgia prison's water. Thirty days later, the corrections department told the men living there — in writing — that no outbreak existed. The contamination, and the antibiotics, followed them to the next prison...[Read More](https://gps.press/theres-nothing-wrong-with-the-water/)[![image](https://gps.press/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/mcp-upload-e8a4b6412cb4-1.jpg)](https://gps.press/reopen-the-doors-normalization/) ### [Reopen the Doors — Normalization](https://gps.press/reopen-the-doors-normalization/) Every harm this series documented flows from one choice: Georgia warehouses people instead of preparing them to return. There is a proven alternative — normalization — that is humane, far cheaper, and may be legally required. The finale of End the Warehouse, and the blueprint out...[Read More](https://gps.press/reopen-the-doors-normalization/)[![image](https://gps.press/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/mcp-upload-efff13968215-1.jpg)](https://gps.press/the-last-thread/) ### [The Last Thread](https://gps.press/the-last-thread/) Georgia treats family contact — the strongest predictor of going straight — as a privilege to ration and revoke: phone lists capped at twenty, visitation lists changeable only in May and November. An investigation into the connection the state severs by design, and the cheap fix it refuses...[Read More](https://gps.press/the-last-thread/)[![image](https://gps.press/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/mcp-upload-8bcde186774f-1.jpg)](https://gps.press/social-death/) ### [Social Death](https://gps.press/social-death/) Georgia stripped its prisons of work, hope, and a future — and some people answer that emptiness not with drugs or the gang, but by going silent and disappearing while still alive. An investigation into the despair the state manufactures by policy, refuses to treat, and declines to count...[Read More](https://gps.press/social-death/)[![image](https://gps.press/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/mcp-upload-40bab84c7960-1.jpg)](https://gps.press/georgia-owl-surveillance-goes-live/) ### [$150 Million to Watch Them Die: Georgia’s OWL Surveillance Goes Live](https://gps.press/georgia-owl-surveillance-goes-live/) On or about June 1, Georgia switches on OWL — the first centralized real-time prison-surveillance hub in American corrections. GPS asks the question the state won't answer: how does watching reduce a single stabbing, overdose, or suicide, when $150 million bought the eye and $805,000 was left for the classrooms?...[Read More](https://gps.press/georgia-owl-surveillance-goes-live/) - 1 - [2](https://gps.press/wp-cron.php/page/2/) - [3](https://gps.press/wp-cron.php/page/3/) - [4](https://gps.press/wp-cron.php/page/4/) - [5](https://gps.press/wp-cron.php/page/5/) - [6](https://gps.press/wp-cron.php/page/6/) - [7](https://gps.press/wp-cron.php/page/7/) - [8](https://gps.press/wp-cron.php/page/8/) - [9](https://gps.press/wp-cron.php/page/9/) - [10](https://gps.press/wp-cron.php/page/10/) - [11](https://gps.press/wp-cron.php/page/11/) - [12](https://gps.press/wp-cron.php/page/12/) - [13](https://gps.press/wp-cron.php/page/13/) - [14](https://gps.press/wp-cron.php/page/14/) - [15](https://gps.press/wp-cron.php/page/15/) ¿Tiene información sobre las condiciones dentro de las prisiones de Georgia?
