My colleagues and I attempted an unannounced visit to Lee Arrendale State Prison today. We’ve heard horrifying reports about the conditions here.
We were denied entry and told all visits have to be scheduled. The warden wouldn’t explain why. But we know why. 1/3

The reason we were turned away is that the GDC has a culture of unaccountability for the death and rights violations of happening day after day in its prisons. Refusing to allow scrutiny of the inedible food, moldy walls, illegal solitary confinement of postpartum mothers. 2/3
My colleagues and I won’t give up on these issues. Our caucus is forming a special committee to address them.
This state can’t claim to care about public safety until it addresses the record level of violence and rights violations happening in facilities it controls. 3/3
