Report: Georgia prisons are "out of control."

[davidn3600]

Thirty-three prisoners and one officer have been killed by other prisoners in Georgia since 2010, according to a report released Wednesday by the Southern Center for Human Rights in Atlanta.

The report details the attack on that inmate, and other attacks on other prisoners, and calls for the U.S. Department of Justice to investigate.

It says the Georgia Department of Corrections (GDC) has failed.

Calls to the Georgia department were not immediately returned Wednesday.

"People who are supposed to be running our prisons have lost control," said Sarah Geraghty, senior attorney at the Southern Center for Human Rights. "It appears they either cannot or will not take appropriate steps to address the level of violence."

The violence is staggering and, according to the center's report, becoming more and more brutal.

In January, a prisoner at Coffee Correctional Facility in Nicholls, Georgia, suffered third-degree burns after boiling water was poured on his face and genitals, and bleach was poured into his eyes.

America


Worse than the Dark Ages.

Our prisons are full of torture, negligence, spoilt food and drug-dealing, sociopathic guards. For profit.

One man gains more $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ the cheaper he can house another human, so now it is a contest.

Who can treat a human worse than an animal to save a buck? He gets the bonus prize!

Cuz we are a CHRISTIAN nation, dontcha know. And this is how our society believes it is best to teach criminalss how to be human before we send them back into society
