The First Thing We Do, Let’s Kill All The Lawyers

The Corrupt Business of Justice in Georgia
–
For centuries, people have distrusted lawyers—but in Georgia, that distrust is well-earned. Criminal defense attorneys demand massive upfront payments with no refunds. Judges and district attorneys—often former defense lawyers themselves—profit from the same system they claim to regulate. State lawmakers, many of them attorneys, write laws that fuel mass incarceration while quietly benefiting from the industry it creates.

Is Georgia’s legal system a system of justice, or a business designed to keep itself in power? With sky-high incarceration rates, private probation companies raking in millions, and public defenders drowning in impossible caseloads, one thing is clear: the system isn’t broken—it’s working exactly as those in power intended.

How did we get here? Can Georgia’s criminal justice system even be fixed? Or are we doomed to a future where mass incarceration is just another profit stream for the legal elite? Read the full investigation to find out.

Nutrition Neglect: How Georgia’s Prison Food Is Fueling Violence

Could something as basic as food be the hidden trigger behind prison riots and unrest?

In Georgia prisons, hunger isn’t just about discomfort—it’s fueling a crisis. Malnutrition and barely-edible meals at $1.80 a day are not just depriving incarcerated people of nutrition; they’re driving desperation, mental health breakdowns, and escalating violence behind bars.

Georgia’s Corrections Spending vs Public Safety: A Costly Imbalance

Georgia’s Costly Corrections System: Billions Spent, Average Safety Returns

Georgia incarcerates more of its citizens than any democratic nation on Earth, with an incarceration rate of 881 per 100,000 people. Since 1970, the state has seen a staggering 671% increase in its prison population.

Despite pouring over $35 billion into its corrections system since 2000—with annual spending set to reach nearly $1.9 billion in 2025—Georgia’s public safety outcomes remain average. The state ranks just 20th nationally in crime statistics, with violent crime rates only slightly below national averages.

One in every eighteen Georgia adults is under some form of correctional supervision—73% higher than Pennsylvania, the state with the second-highest rate. 1 in 7 adults in Georgia currently have a felony conviction. This massive investment in incarceration has failed to deliver exceptional safety results, while many states with dramatically lower imprisonment rates achieved better crime statistics.

Is Georgia wasting billions on a corrections approach that doesn’t work?

Rooting Phones: A Prisoner’s Guide

In Georgia’s prisons, cell phone access has become a vital lifeline for inmates seeking to communicate, report abuse, and even safeguard their health. Yet the Georgia Department of Corrections is aggressively implementing Managed Access Systems (MAS) designed to shut down unauthorized devices and silence dissent. For those determined to bypass these restrictions, rooting a phone can be a game‑changer.

Rooting essentially unlocks the full potential of your device, giving you the power to disable or circumvent MAS protocols. Among the myriad Android devices available, unlocked Google Pixel and OnePlus models stand out as the easiest to root—thanks to their openly available bootloader unlock options, robust developer support, and minimal bloatware. By contrast, Samsung phones, particularly carrier-locked U.S. models, remain notoriously difficult to root due to permanent bootloader locks and advanced security features like Knox.

This guide lays out step‑by‑step methods tailored for inmates using tools available on devices like the JP5 or JP6 tablets running Ubuntu Linux 14.04. With these instructions, you’ll learn how to transform a Pixel or OnePlus phone into a powerful tool to defeat the MAS systems, restore your communication rights, and reclaim a measure of autonomy in a system designed to silence you.

Georgia’s Cell Phone Crackdown: Security or Silence?

Georgia is blocking cell phones in prisons—but at what cost? Cutting off communication won’t stop gangs, but it will silence whistleblowers, fuel violence, and hide corruption. Is this about security or control? Demand transparency before it’s too late! #PrisonReform #Justice

Punishment for Profit: How Georgia’s Justice System Makes Millions
