Georgia Prisons

Just prior to Thanksgiving 2009 Georgia Death Row inmate Tim Pruitt was severely injured and was hospitalized.  Weeks after his attack, shortly after being transferred to August State Medical Prison, Pruitt died.  While the initial response to his death from the Department of Corrections was that it was suicide, friends, family and fellow inmates confirm that it was a murder.  The current word from the Department of Corrections is that Pruitt’s death is under investigation.  The AJC and several other news outlets have covered this story. Below are a few of the many reports.
