Author: Southern Center for Human Rights Title: The Crisis of Violence in Georgia's Prisons Summary: This report entitled, The Crisis of Violence in Georgia's Prisons about the recent, significant rise in violence, torture, and homicides in the Georgia prison system. SCHR is asking the U.S. Department of Justice to investigate, and is calling on state officials to reduce violence, and better protect incarcerated persons and prison staff. The last several years have seen an escalation in the level of homicides, stabbings, and assaults in the Georgia prison system. On June 29, 2014, Shannon Grier was stabbed to death at Augusta State Medical Prison. He became the 33rd Georgia prisoner to be killed by other prisoners since 2010. In 2012 alone, Georgia had more homicides in its state prisons than many states' prisons had in the last ten years, from 2001-2011 (e.g. Pennsylvania, Louisiana, Virginia, Indiana, Kentucky, Mississippi). Three times as many prisoners were killed in Georgia state prisons in 2012 than ten years ago. Details: Atlanta, GA: Southern Center for Human Rights, 2014. 24p.
