Trump's Surrender in Georgia Sparks FBI Investigation and Raises Concerns Over Dangerous Jail Conditions

The Fulton County Jail in Georgia, where former President Donald Trump and 18 co-defendants are expected to turn themselves in, is under investigation for dangerous conditions. District Attorney Fani Willis plans to keep Trump in a holding cell, but his lawyers are seeking negotiations. The jail has faced complaints of unsafe living conditions, excessive force, discrimination against mentally ill inmates, and inadequate medical care. Last year, seven people died in custody, and the facility experienced numerous incidents of violence. The jail is overcrowded and understaffed, with more than 3,000 inmates despite a capacity of 1,300. Calls have been made for the jail's demolition. Trump and his co-defendants are accused of breaking criminal laws in the Georgia 2020 election case under the RICO Act.
