Justice Department Condemns Conditions at Georgia's Fulton County Jail

A federal report reveals systemic violations of detainees' rights, including violence, neglect, and unsanitary conditions.

The Justice Department's investigation found that the jail fails to protect inmates from violence, including frequent stabbings and sexual assaults.
Conditions at the jail are described as hazardous, with pest infestations, malnourishment, and inadequate medical care highlighted.
The report states that detainees, especially those with mental health issues, face dangerous and discriminatory treatment.
Overcrowding and understaffing contribute significantly to the jail's failure to meet constitutional standards for detainee care.
The Justice Department has outlined remedial measures and warned of potential legal action if conditions do not improve.
