Rising Violence: Calls to Address Safety Concerns at Fulton County Jail

A detainee was killed and two others injured in a mass stabbing at Fulton County Jail, marking the fifth death of an inmate since the end of July. The sheriff's office is investigating the incident, which comes amid ongoing scrutiny of the jail's dilapidated and unsanitary conditions, as well as violence against detainees. The Justice Department has launched a civil rights investigation into the jail, including its treatment of inmates with psychiatric disabilities. Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis called for a new, larger facility that treats people humanely.
