Georgia prisoners receive as low as 1,200-1,400 calories daily — below the minimum for survival during prolonged confinement. The state spends $1.77-$2.20 per day on food while adequate nutrition could save millions. https://gps.press/starved-and-silenced-the-hidde...

Georgia's prisons are systematically starving people. Prisoners receive as low as 1,200-1,400 calories daily — below survival minimums — while losing 30-50 pounds and developing chronic illnesses. Meanwhile, staffing vacancies exceed 50% statewide, with some prisons running night shifts with only one or two officers overseeing 1,700 men.
The state spends $1.77-$2.20 per day on food but could save millions in healthcare and security costs by simply feeding people adequately. How is deliberate starvation considered acceptable policy in 2025? https://gps.press/starved-and-silenced-the-hidden-crisis-inside-georgia-prisons/

Georgia's correctional system faces a constitutional crisis of deliberate starvation. Prisoners receive 1,200-1,400 calories daily — below survival minimums — while the state allocates just $1.77-$2.20 per day for food. This false economy generates massive downstream costs: malnutrition-related healthcare, increased violence, and legal liability.
Research proves that basic nutritional interventions reduce violent incidents by 37% at a cost of $50 per person annually. Yet Georgia continues policies that prioritize short-term budget savings over constitutional compliance, public safety, and fiscal responsibility. https://gps.press/starved-and-silenced-the-hidden-crisis-inside-georgia-prisons/
