Draconion would appear to be the perfect word to describe the conditions we, as Tier II (2) program inmates, suffer within the walls of the Georgia State prison facility. Yet, if one was to apply reason, it may look more like an understatement. We have been forced physically and mentally to withstand the barbaric nature of our confinement which does nothing outside of dissuading some from fighting against its oppressive grasp. The toilet buttons have been stripped away from inside the cells and placed without, leaving it up to an officer’s discretion whether or not to relieve an inmate’s cell of the feces that sits in the toilet and reeks within the atmosphere of the “two man cell”. Medical fails at providing the adequate healthcare services. Mental health treatment is futile. This is more than obvious when considering the facilities suicide and sucide attempt rate. Constantly, all means of “accessing the courts” or law library is being denied, leaving a majority of inmates defenseless in righting the wrongs and correcting the errors of the system. This causes a chilling effect to spread at a high level and only cushions the massive incaceration rate of the State of Georgia and the United States. Pepper spray is used to answer “irritating” statements and questions by inmates, who wish to bring these every day injustices that occur to the administration’s attention. Sanitation is the poorest, very evident according to documentations of scabies and staph infectious break outs within this facility. Severance from the outside world is being practiced by prohibiting inmates from viewing any form of outside news, and sometimes prohibited from corresponding with family and others. Assaults on inmates by officers happen regularly for unprovoked and minor reasons. Violent actions deter individuals away from seeking the appropriate help so that the transgressions may be remedied. By this inmates become more prone to violence, which leads them to perform these very same actions in an environment that’s already hostile enough as it is. The violations stated above are being executed on a daily basis by the administration and factility personel et. al at the G.S.P. facility – and these are definitely not all.
