Jamie Shahan was sentenced to five years, but at Washington State Prison, his punishment became a death sentence in everything but name. Beaten, hospitalized, and left on life support—his mother fights for answers while the prison covers its tracks. How much more suffering will Georgia’s prison system ignore?
Georgia’s prison system isn’t failing by accident—it’s built for brutality, where violence thrives, and justice is just a myth.
Violence is ignored, gang control is unchecked, and the disciplinary system punishes the weak while protecting the strong. Inmates who report attacks are thrown into solitary, while their attackers remain free.
The Department of Corrections refuses to enforce its own policies, allowing chaos to thrive. This must change.
Learn how Georgia’s prisons create violence instead of preventing it—and how you can help demand reform.
Georgia’s prison system is failing, driven by a parole board that perpetuates injustice through bias, lack of transparency, and arbitrary decisions. This broken system has fueled violence, overcrowding, and catastrophic deaths across the Georgia Department of Corrections, leaving inmates without hope and families in despair. This article explores the urgent need for reform, highlighting the transparency measures proposed in Senate Bill 25 and advocating for a bold new model that ties parole to rehabilitation and accountability. By fixing Georgia’s parole system, we can restore fairness, reduce recidivism, and create a pathway to justice for all.
Behind the towering walls of Washington State Prison lies a hidden world of chaos and corruption, where gang leaders wield unchecked power, contraband flows freely, and those entrusted with maintaining order blur the line between authority and complicity. The murder of Dontavis Carter on January 7 is not just a singular tragedy but a haunting reflection of a system in crisis—a system where violence thrives, silence is coerced, and justice lies abandoned, much like the cracked gavel in the shadows of this forgotten institution.
