Brief written August 9, 2026 from GPS Intelligence System data.(K)

Media Intelligence Brief: Georgia's Prisons — The Records Are There. The Stories Aren't.

Georgia Prisoners' Speak (GPS) maintains the largest independent evidentiary archive on the Georgia Department of Corrections (GDC): 5,560 publishable claims across 114 tracked facilities, a mortality database that now records at least 1,860 deaths in GDC custody since 2020, open-records productions from multiple state and county agencies, and a corroborated whistleblower backbone from former GDC command staff. This brief is organized for assignment editors and working reporters: what is documented, what contradicts the state's public posture, which records exist and where to get them, and which beats are sitting uncovered.

Sourcing key used throughout: Court-verified = indictments, dockets, findings. Agency-documented = records produced under open-records law or published by a government body. On-record testimony = named former officials speaking for attribution. Family attestation = accounts from relatives; moderate-to-low weight, unverified. Anonymous tip / inmate witness = low weight, unverified, published here only as a lead. GPS never presents claim-layer evidence as established fact — and neither should you. But claims cluster, and clusters point reporters toward records.

The Open Ledger: Patterns No Outlet Has Fully Told

1. Nineteen homicides at one prison — and a prosecution record of zero

GPS's investigation "At Least Nineteen: The Murders the State Didn't Prosecute" documents, through coroner and state crime-lab records obtained by open-records request, at least 19 homicides at Ware State Prison since 2020 — men stabbed, beaten, and strangled at a close-security facility built for roughly 500 people that now holds about 1,447. The paper trail is unusually complete: 231 death-investigation reports, GBI autopsies, and toxicology findings covering 84 Ware deaths. In eleven of the nineteen homicides, the state's own death investigations name a suspected attacker. GPS found no public record that any of those named suspects was ever charged, indicted, or tried. Victims named in the autopsy files include Squaier Jiles, who bled to death from sharp-force injuries, and Christopher Gresham, stabbed by at least three other prisoners (GPS Ware investigation, agency-documented). Alongside the homicides: twelve suicides and eight fatal overdoses from methamphetamine and synthetic cannabinoids smuggled inside.

Why it's open: Georgia publishes no official prison-homicide count. Every element — the bodies, the named suspects, the absence of charges — exists in public records sitting in a county courthouse. No outlet has reconstructed a single-facility prosecution gap at this scale.

2. The separation statute Georgia has ignored for more than a century

GPS's investigation "On the Books Since 1897" centers on O.C.G.A. § 42-5-52, which commands — "shall," not "may" — that GDC classify and separate inmates by dangerousness. Georgia has 315 identified gangs and roughly 15,200 validated gang-affiliated prisoners, about 31% of the incarcerated population — more than double the national rate of ~13% (GDC's own STG figures; NIJ comparison, per GPS's "315 Gangs, Zero Strategy"). Yet Georgia has no systematic gang-separation housing policy, no renouncement or exit program, and no operational strategy for keeping rival factions apart. GPS has separately documented four medium-security prisons quietly packed with close-security men.

Why it's open: Twice this spring, gang violence forced every state prison in Georgia onto lockdown on the same day — once after coordinated stabbings at five facilities with life flights to two, and again weeks later after reported deaths at Ware and Augusta and hospitalizations at Dooly, Central, and Hancock. The statewide-lockdown-as-response is a confession that classification has failed. The statute is the story's spine: the state wrote the tool and refused to use it.

3. Kitchen grades that don't survive contact with the kitchen

Georgia's Department of Public Health scores prison kitchens on the same 100-point scale as restaurants. Most GDC kitchens hold A's; several have perfect 100s. GPS's Scores Without Sanitation investigation documents the gap between the snapshot and the other 364 days:

• Johnson State Prison: scored 64 — the lowest DPH score GPS has documented for any GDC facility. Inspectors found rats and roaches throughout the kitchen, bulk bags of oil, flour, and rice bran gnawed through with visible droppings and urine, cold-holding violations, and a battery of broken ovens, kettles, and ice machines. A follow-up visit lifted the score to 91; the infrastructure was never repaired.
• Pulaski State Prison: failed at 67 after a year-long slide (82, 83, 73, 78). The only designated handwashing sink had its plumbing ripped from the wall; sewage backed up through floor drains — a repeat violation; hot-holding failures were also repeats. A later follow-up produced a 96 with only two violations noted.
• Smith State Prison: 68, then 72 — still a C — with rodent activity documented in every inspection across four consecutive years.

Meals run $0.53–$0.55 each — $1.62 per person per day — under a food budget that has stayed flat while GDC spending surged (GPS budget analysis). GDC's own SOP 409.04.02 mandates only two meals on weekends.

Why it's open: The inspection reports are public records for every facility. The follow-up/relapse cycle — fail, follow-up, rebound, relapse — is a data story waiting for a full-system pull.

4. PREA: 15,542 allegations, 543 substantiated, 273 perfect audits

GPS's sexual-abuse investigation assembled eleven years of federal and state data: 15,542 allegations of sexual abuse and harassment in Georgia prisons, with only 543 substantiated — a 3.5% aggregate rate. Across 273 facility audits spanning five PREA cycles, not one standard was ever found "not met." The DOJ's statewide findings separately concluded Georgia fails to protect LGBTI prisoners from sexual abuse. A 52.5% correctional-officer vacancy rate sits underneath both findings.

Why it's open: Every facility audit is a public document. A substantiation-rate-by-facility map, against staffing and audit scores, is buildable today.

5. The warden pipeline produced an indicted warden

A Tattnall County grand jury indicted former Smith State Prison Warden Brian Adams on charges of racketeering, bribery, false statements, evidence tampering, and violation of oath of office (Georgia Attorney General's office announcement; court-verified). Prosecutors allege Adams took bribes from a prison gang — the Yves Saint Laurent Squad — to allow contraband into Smith and to move the gang's leader, Nathan Weekes, out of solitary confinement, and that Adams buried prison shanks and contraband cellphones in his backyard to obstruct the investigation (AG announcement; CBS Atlanta). The same gang's reach extended outside the fence: the wrong-house murder of 88-year-old Bobby Kicklighter in Glennville was a hit ordered from inside a Georgia prison (WSB-TV reporting). Adams was a 26-year GDC employee, arrested and fired in early 2023 (GBI, via AllOnGeorgia).

GPS's companion investigation, "The Game They Learned," documents the structural angle: GDC facility command is staffed almost entirely by insiders promoted from line staff who never worked anywhere else. The question the indictment raises — how many wardens were made by the same pipeline — has not been asked in print.

6. The 168 phantom counts

In mid-2024, Christian Krauch was tortured for three weeks inside a dorm at Macon State Prison: bound, stabbed, burned, slashed, a machete driven through his chest, every bone in his face shattered. His attackers stuffed him under a bunk. He survived — life-flighted in a body bag, weeks in a coma, permanent brain damage, amputation of his right hand and right leg (GPS investigation, "Three Weeks Under a Bunk"; family crowdfunding records). GDC policy requires eight formal population counts per day — roughly 168 counts over three weeks. Either officers walked past a dying man 168 times, or the counts were never conducted. The paperwork was submitted either way.

Why it's open: Count logs are requestable records. One facility's count logs for one three-week window either corroborate a bureaucracy of fictitious compliance or prove officers walked past a body.

7. The dying moved to the medical prison

GPS-tracked mortality over the past 180 days shows a cluster at the facility that is supposed to be the system's medical hub: four deaths at Augusta State Medical Prison — Donald Hugh Young, a John Doe whose identity remains unconfirmed in public reporting, Wanique Marsay Odwin (44), and David Meeks (62). When the medical prison is among the deadliest addresses in the system, the story is no longer about any one facility's violence — it is about the adequacy of care itself. Related: GPS reporting this summer documented the death of a 41-year-old from hepatitis C — a disease with a cure — in Georgia custody ("The Cure Exists," GPS-authored).

8. Retaliation as an operating system

GPS's retaliation analysis catalogs 61 retaliation-context events — 26 incidents, 24 reports, 8 investigations, 3 lawsuits — and GPS cautions that this is "the surface of an active investigation." The pattern: grievances that disappear, disciplinary counterstrikes after complaints, transfers to more dangerous facilities after cooperation with investigators. Recent claim-layer material is consistent: a family attestation from Central State Prison alleges an incarcerated man filed a grievance and statement, then accrued multiple disciplinary reports — reports a DR investigator later had no knowledge of and which the family says were never entered into GDC's system (family attestation, low weight — but the underlying DR docket is a requestable record).

9. The budget's 22-to-1 confession

Across the amended FY2026 and FY2027 cycles, GPS's budget analysis reconstructs roughly $27.1 million in new security and surveillance spending against $1.23 million for rehabilitation — a 22-to-1 ratio. The security side includes at least $35 million for managed-access cell-phone blocking, $7.2 million for body cameras and Tasers, $6.9 million for the OWL surveillance unit, $4.1 million for digital forensics, and $84.7 million in multi-year camera and perimeter capital. The rehabilitation side totals about $26 per incarcerated person per year, and a $150,000 peer-led pilot at Autry was not continued. RAND's meta-analysis finds correctional education cuts recidivism 43% and returns four to five dollars per dollar spent; GDC's own vocational completers recidivate at about half the general rate. Meanwhile the State Prisons program was cut $187 million (16.8%) while Private Prisons grew $20.9 million (13.7%) — the state is defunding its own beds and renting replacements.

10. The families who hear nothing

A family attestation (moderate weight) alleges the state provided no answers about a wrongful death at Ware until the statute of limitations expired in 2024. A separate family account received by GPS describes Mark Dylan Rutledge, 42, killed in June, with the family reporting months of silence from the warden and the state behind the phrase "open investigation" (anonymous tip, low weight). GPS-tracked mortality records do show a Mark Rutledge death at Georgia Diagnostic and Classification State Prison this summer, though with a different age — GPS cannot yet reconcile the two records. That reconciliation is a one-week reporting assignment, and the underlying pattern — families learning of deaths late, or never learning the cause — recurs across GPS's claim corpus.

The Contradiction File: What GDC Says vs. What the Record Shows

Three of these deserve emphasis for editors:

The "misunderstanding" defense collapses on GDC's own behavior. DOJ described the records fight as "unnecessarily contentious" — GDC refused to produce documents until a subpoena was enforced, ultimately turning over more than 19,000 records, and conducted pre-inspection cleanups before walkthroughs (DOJ findings). An agency that believed the findings were a misunderstanding does not clean house before the inspectors arrive. As of GPS's research this spring, no CRIPA enforcement action had been filed — the second act of the DOJ story is a vacuum, and vacuums are assignable.

The six-vs-eighteen gap is the single most quotable document in the corpus. It is not an advocacy estimate; it is DOJ comparing GDC's public statements to GDC's own incident reports. Every subsequent GDC homicide statement should be reported against that baseline.

The staffing average is a laundering mechanism. Zirkle's on-record testimony — corroborated by Ryals and by GPS's own open-records production at Ware — is that fully-staffed transitional centers are blended into system averages to conceal 70–80% vacancy rates at the major prisons where people are dying. Any reporter who cites "GDC's vacancy rate" without disaggregating transitional centers from close-security prisons is repeating the laundering.

Named Cases With Records Ready for Citation

State v. Brian Adams (Tattnall County Superior Court; indictment announced by the Georgia Attorney General). Charges: racketeering, bribery, false statements, evidence tampering, violation of oath. Court-verified; the indictment, the February 2023 GBI arrest record, and the CBS Atlanta/WSB/WTOC coverage chain make this fully citable. The Kicklighter murder prosecution thread connects prison gang control to a homicide outside the fence.

The Ware nineteen. Eleven named suspects in coroner/GBI records; zero public charge records found by GPS. The named victims (Jiles, Gresham, and others) are deceased and documented in agency records. The assignment: pull the Ware County Superior Court criminal docket against the eleven names. GPS holds the underlying files; reporters should file their own requests (see FOIA playbook below).

Christian Krauch v. — no suit on file in GPS's tracking. That absence is itself reportable: a man tortured for three weeks, permanently maimed, with no criminal charges and no visible civil recovery in GPS's docket set.

The lockdown dead. Jimmy Trammell, killed at Washington State Prison with 72 hours left on a ten-year sentence, in a facility running five officers across 69 posts (GPS reporting). Melvin Johnson, 35, beaten brain-dead at Hays State Prison after telling a counselor he could not go back to his dorm; he was sent back, attacked in his sleep, and his family was turned away at the hospital door (GPS reporting, family-attestation elements). Jerry Merritt, stabbed to death at Augusta State Medical Prison over a commissary debt worth roughly fifteen dollars (GPS source reporting).

The unidentified dead. GPS's mortality ledger for the past 180 days includes a John Doe at Augusta State Medical Prison and a death at Burruss CTC logged without a confirmed name. A state that cannot name its dead is a story by itself.

Claim-layer clusters worth docket-pulling: repeated family attestations and anonymous tips describe an officer at Central State Prison beating handcuffed prisoners, with one attestation alleging a beating ordered by a deputy warden and another alleging staff dragged a man into a hallway believed to have no cameras (family attestations, low weight, multiple independent accounts). Anonymous tips describe IRT team force at Hancock State Prison, including a prisoner bounced off doors and tables and then transported to an unknown location (low weight). These are leads, not findings — but use-of-force reports, camera-retention logs, and medical transport records are all requestable.

Settlement and Docket Lookups

GPS's docket tracking shows the following recently terminated cases. Every one closed with $0 recorded recovery, and — to GPS's knowledge — none received press coverage. The "outlet" column is blank across the board; that is the assignment.

How to read this: the string of $0 prisoner-side terminations is the courtroom echo of what GPS's legal-access analysis documents structurally — a four-year habeas statute of limitations (O.C.G.A. § 9-14-42), the PLRA exhaustion gauntlet, and a landscape in which only about 1% of prisoner civil-rights cases succeed. Georgia Supreme Court Chief Justice Nels Peterson recently called the post-conviction system "a mess" and "broken," publicly asking the legislature to fix it (GPS reporting, "We Did a Lot of the Breaking"). The anonymized caption in A v. Carlson and the criminal docket in United States v. Mariarlene Brown are both worth a PACER pull; GPS has no further public data on either.

The paying side of the ledger is bigger. GPS's compilation from Georgia Department of Administrative Services risk-management records and court files places prison death-and-injury settlements at a floor of $50,633,556 across 261 claims since 2008, with individual payouts reaching into the multi-millions (GPS legal-settlements analysis, agency-documented). The DOAS ledger is requestable; no outlet has published the full settlement-by-settlement anatomy.

The Count the State Stopped Publishing

GDC reports causes of death roughly two months late and stopped releasing cause-of-death data entirely after early 2024. GPS independently reconstructs mortality from open-records requests, family reports, and source networks; every figure below is a floor:

For trend context, DOJ documented GDC homicides of 7 in 2018 and 13 in 2019 — meaning the homicide count quintupled across the documented window, with a 95.8% jump between the first and second halves, and Georgia's prison homicide rate ran at 34 per 100,000 against a national state-prison average of 12 (DOJ findings). Within GPS's total: 256 classified as homicide, 67 as suicide, and 1,042 as unknown or pending cause — 56% of all deaths without a disclosed cause. That 1,042 is the single most underreported number in Georgia criminal justice.

Misclassification is documented, not suspected. DOJ found GDC categorized obvious homicides as unknown-cause and undercounted murders in public statements. At the claim layer, a family attestation (moderate weight) alleges a Ware death was wrongly classified as suicide; the Ware County Coroner's derived record in GPS's tracking lists the manner as suicide. The gap between family accounts and official manner determinations is precisely the seam a reporter with coroner files can audit. GPS's mortality archive is public at gps.press/georgia-prison-deaths/, and the methodology behind undocumented deaths is surfaced at the GDC Hidden Deaths page and the deaths-in-custody issue brief.

FOIA Playbook: What to Request, From Whom

County coroners + GBI Medical Examiner (the Ware model, replicated). GPS's Ware production — 231 death-investigation reports, GBI autopsies, toxicology findings — came through an open-records request and is fully replicable. Request death-investigation files for all in-custody deaths in the counties hosting Telfair, Macon, Washington, Baldwin, Calhoun, Hays, Hancock, Smith, Valdosta, and Wilcox state prisons. Then pull the county superior-court criminal dockets against every named suspect. Target record class: manner-of-death determinations, named suspects, disposition or absence of prosecution.

Georgia DOAS Risk Management. Request the full settlement ledger for GDC from 2008 forward — the same record class underlying GPS's $50.6M floor. Why: it converts "the state pays for deaths" from anecdote to line item.

GDC post rosters and staffing assignments. GPS's production establishing six officers on duty when the Ware riot began proves these records are obtainable. Request duty rosters and vacancy reports by facility and shift — never accept system averages, which blend transitional centers. Ask for the same records Zirkle's testimony covers at the seven named 70–80% vacancy prisons.

GDC incident reports vs. public statements. The DOJ's six-vs-eighteen method is repeatable: request incident reports for any month in which GDC publicly announces a homicide total, and compare.

Department of Public Health. Full kitchen-inspection histories for all state and private prisons. GPS has documented Johnson, Pulaski, and Smith; the other ~100 kitchens are unpulled thread. Pair with inmate-maintenance accounts and GDC's $0.54-per-meal budget line (nutrition analysis).

Aventiv/Securus contract and Inmate Welfare Fund ledgers. The 2016 contract terms are already documented — $4 million signing bonus, 59.6% commission, $325,000 monthly floor, roughly $8 million annually back to GDC (family-communication analysis). Request the current contract, commission remittance reports, and IWF statements. The funds sit outside legislative oversight; no one has audited where the money goes.

Use-of-force and camera-retention records. For Central (officer-assault cluster) and Hancock (IRT cluster): use-of-force reports, IRT deployment logs, video-retention schedules, and medical transport logs. The family attestation alleging staff sought a camera-free hallway makes retention schedules the load-bearing document.

Grievance and disciplinary dockets. The Central allegation that disciplinary reports were never entered into GDC's system is testable against DR docket exports — and goes to the exhaustion machinery GPS documents in its retaliation brief.

Medical vendor and mortality-review records. The Health program gained $37.3 million (9.6%) while deaths hit record floors. Request the medical services contract, mortality-review committee minutes, and — for the four recent ASMP deaths — transfer and hospitalization records.

Expect resistance and pre-cleaning. DOJ had to enforce a subpoena and documented pre-inspection cleanups. File narrow, dated, record-class-specific requests; appeal constructively denied requests; note that the General Assembly has shielded itself from records scrutiny (GPS oversight analysis) — route around it through agencies and counties.

Underreported Beat Angles

Heat. GPS does not yet have public data on heat-specific mortality in Georgia prisons — an open lane. The vulnerability variables are documented: 5,753 people aged 60+ in custody, a string of recent deaths of men in their 60s, 70s, and 80s (an 85-year-old at Ware, a 77-year-old at Coastal, a 72-year-old at GDCP), and at least one anonymous tip this summer referencing heat-advisory conditions inside dorms. Requestable records: HVAC work orders, dorm temperature logs, heat-related medical transports, and any heat-illness incident classifications. Nobody in Georgia owns this beat.

Medical neglect beyond mortality. GPS's recent claim corpus includes family attestations of pneumonia symptoms ignored until hospitalization, weeks without pain medication despite a serious diagnosis, and cancer progressing while help requests went unanswered (family attestations, low weight, unnamed facilities). Inmate-witness accounts from GDCP's medical unit describe blood and urine on an exam gurney, an EKG performed without gloves or handwashing, and a nurse spitting on a patient (anonymous inmate witnesses, low weight). The records path: medical grievances, sick-call logs, and vendor complaint files. See the medical-neglect and mental-health briefs for framing.

Private prisons as mortality subcontract. 8,282 people sit in private beds, and GPS-tracked deaths at privately operated Valdosta in recent weeks include Ramon Ortiz, Steven Bryant (49), and Antavious Bailey (40) — three deaths in about six weeks at a facility that hit an 80% officer vacancy rate. GDC is simultaneously cutting state-prison funding 16.8% and growing private contracts 13.7%. The contract files and per-diem audit trail are the story.

Women's facilities. Two deaths at Pulaski within roughly two weeks this summer — Kristi Perkins and Monika Yvette Bradley — at a women's facility whose kitchen had failed inspection months earlier. GPS has received a family attestation alleging hot water thrown in an incarcerated woman's face at Pulaski and another alleging death threats (low weight). The women's-estate beat in Georgia is effectively unstaffed by any newsroom.

County-jail backlog and transitional centers. 2,497 state inmates are backed up in county jails awaiting transfer, and the in-custody population stands at 52,820 across state prisons (34,900), private prisons (8,282), county prisons (4,013), transitional centers (2,729), RSAT (1,479), and probation detention (1,417) (GDC population snapshot via GPS tracking). Recent news adds texture: a convicted assault/kidnapping escapee walked away from Augusta Transitional Center (CBS), and an inmate died in an Effingham County detention center (WTOC). The county layer of state incarceration is nearly invisible in coverage.

The extraction economy. GPS's recent investigations cover Georgia Correctional Industries — a $326 million no-bid operation paying $0 wages — and the family-package monopoly. Combined with the Securus commission structure, the extraction stack (phone, packages, commissary, medical copays against zero wages) is a consumer-finance story nobody has written as one.

Post-conviction collapse. The Chief Justice's "a mess" admission, the four-year habeas bar, and the recent "shaken baby" retrial granted after 20+ years (The Appeal) form a single arc the legal press has covered only in pieces. GPS's Vision 2027 and legal-access briefs carry the statutory detail.

The Peer-State Lens: What Comparison Coverage Missed

Georgia's episodic coverage — AJC on gang deaths at Hancock, 41NBC on the Washington State Prison killings, WGXA and 13WMAZ on the Dooly lockdown — reports each event as an event. The systemic frame has gone largely unwritten: Georgia validates gang members at more than double the national rate while running no separation policy and no exit program, and Texas, Arizona, and California built documented responses to the same problem decades ago — housing-based separation, intelligence-driven classification, structured renouncement pathways, and incentive systems (GPS, "315 Gangs, Zero Strategy"). California is now piloting normalization-based facility redesign — small-unit housing, education, family contact — the American cousin of the Scandinavian model GPS details in "Normalization: The Principle That Changes Everything" and "End the Warehouse."

GPS does not maintain a clipping corpus of peer-state press coverage, so we cannot tell you which outlets ran which pieces — but we can tell you what Georgia coverage has not done: no outlet has placed Georgia's gang statistics beside the Texas/Arizona/California policy record; no outlet has followed the DOJ report into the CRIPA vacuum; no outlet has costed Georgia's 22-to-1 surveillance-to-rehabilitation split against RAND's documented returns; and no outlet has audited the unenforced 1897 separation statute against the current body count. Those are all comparative stories with the comparison work already done.

Beats by Depth-of-Coverage Opportunity

48-hour turnarounds. - The six-vs-eighteen undercount, built off DOJ findings and one GDC comment request. Anchor: violence brief. - The ribbon-cutting/body-count juxtaposition: GDC's modular-housing and modular-medical announcements against at least 25 deaths in 180 days, including an unnamed John Doe at the medical prison. - The $0.54 meal and the two-meal weekend SOP, from GPS's budget analysis and DPH's public scores. - The Pulaski double-death at a women's prison with a recently failed kitchen inspection.

Two-week features. - One Ware family, one coroner file, one unanswered statute-of-limitations clock — the wrongful-death silence story. - The seven prisons Zirkle named at 70–80% vacancy, with duty-roster requests to each; the blended-average explanation is the nut graf. - The settlement ledger: DOAS request plus the $50.6M floor GPS has already compiled. - The Adams indictment as pipeline story: 26 years, officer-to-warden, the gang, the buried evidence, Bobby Kicklighter.

Long-haul investigations. - The Ware nineteen: coroner files across prison counties, criminal-docket matching, the prosecution gap as statewide series. - The 1,042: what "unknown cause" conceals, facility by facility, against GDC's post-2024 publication blackout. - The extraction economy: Securus commissions, IWF ledgers, GCI's no-bid wages, family-package pricing — one revenue map of incarceration. - The retaliation machine: grievance dockets, DR records, and the exhaustion trap, tested against the Central cluster. - The campaign angle: GPS's "Eight Questions for the Next Governor" supplies a ready accountability framework for candidate interviews; every candidate should be asked the six-vs-eighteen question.

Work With GPS

GPS publishes its machine-readable facility data at gps.press/facilities-data/, maintains the public mortality archive at gps.press/georgia-prison-deaths/, and houses every issue brief cited here under gps.press/intelligence/. Beyond the public surfaces, GPS holds the underlying Ware death-investigation production, the DOAS risk-management ledger compilation, the Securus contract documentation, DPH inspection histories, and claim-layer material organized by facility and source class.

Reporters working any beat in this brief can request specific records, anonymized witness statements, facility-level data exports, or claim-cluster summaries through gps.press/submit-a-report/, and families or incarcerated sources can reach the intake desk at gps.press/tellmystory/. GPS will tell you the source weight of everything it hands you, what we have verified and what we have not, and what we believe is requestable from which agency. The records exist. The state is counting on no one asking for them. Ask.
