California's 'Prisneyland' Shows One Death vs Georgia's 333 Prison Deaths

California's rehabilitation-focused 'Prisneyland' model recorded one death and two use-of-force incidents at Valley State Prison, while Georgia's punishment-first system saw 333 deaths in 2024 alone, including over 100 homicides. The stark contrast highlights how California's $239 million investment in education and dignity produces safer outcomes than Georgia's $1.6 billion in new walls and isolation units.
