DOJ Report Exposes Inhumane Conditions at Georgia's Fulton County Jail

The Justice Department's investigation into Georgia's Fulton County Jail revealed severe human rights violations, including violence, unsanitary conditions, and inadequate medical care, contributing to multiple deaths. The report highlights systemic issues such as pest infestations, malnourishment, and excessive use of force, particularly affecting detainees with mental health needs. The investigation was prompted by the death of Lashawn Thompson, whose case drew public outrage. The Justice Department is working with local authorities to address these violations.
