Georgia Attorney General Chris Carr announced that a grand jury has indicted 16 inmates following a series of stabbings at Coffee Correctional Facility, a state prison in Coffee County, Georgia. The assaults occurred on Dec. 13, 2025, and investigators stated all defendants are members of the Bloods criminal street gang. Multiple inmates suffered critical injuries and required life-saving medical care off-site. The state’s special prosecution unit presented evidence to the grand jury on June 18, resulting in charges including aggravated assault, aggravated battery, violations of the Street Gang Terrorism and Prevention Act, and riot in a penal institution. The Georgia Department of Corrections Commissioner Tyrone Oliver was cited as a source alongside the Attorney General.
