Reporting Prisoner Safety Concerns in Georgia

If your loved one is in danger, time is of the essence. The first step is contacting prison officials—starting with the Warden and the GDC Ombudsman’s Office at (478) 992-5358 or [email protected] to document concerns and demand intervention. If immediate protection isn’t granted, escalate to GDC’s Facilities Division Director at (404) 656-2809, requesting an emergency transfer. Meanwhile, the inmate should file grievances and protective custody requests inside the facility to create a formal record.

Lethal Negligence: The Hidden Death Toll in Georgia’s Prisons

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.

Left for Dead: The Tragic Story of Jamie Shahan

From Kangaroo Courts to Chaos: Georgia’s Prison Crisis

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.

In and Out: The Lives Destroyed by the GDC

Georgia’s prison system is failing its most basic responsibilities—to ensure safety, provide dignity, and rehabilitate those in its care.
