ATLANTA (AP) – A group that focuses on fighting human rights violations against inmates on Thursday sued the commissioner of the Georgia Department of Corrections, saying the agency is violating the state’s open records law.
The Southern Center for Human Rights and the mother of a Georgia inmate who was killed by other prisoners filed the lawsuit against Commissioner Brian Owens in Fulton County Superior Court. RaHonda MacClain’s son, Damion, died at Hays State Prison in Trion in December.
