Georgia's prisons create more crime, not less. Federal investigators found inmates face daily threats of assault, rape, and murder in overcrowded facilities, while 67% of released prisoners reoffend.

Data reveals a stark policy choice: Georgia's punishment-focused incarceration sees 67% of released prisoners reoffend, while Norway's rehabilitation model achieves just 20% recidivism. Federal investigators documented Georgia inmates facing daily threats of assault and murder in overcrowded facilities that cost taxpayers billions while failing communities.
Norway's approach isn't about comfort—it's about effectiveness. Their investment in education, vocational training, and therapeutic intervention produces measurably safer communities. Georgia policymakers have evidence-based solutions available if public safety is truly the priority. https://gps.press/a-tale-of-two-prisons/
