High Rate Of Prison Suicides In Georgia Draws Concerns

When Jeffrey Epstein died by suicide last month in a New York
Corrections Facility, questions about the state of mental
healthcare in America’s prisons briefly dominated the national
news. But suicides in jails and prisons are becoming more and more
commonplace – especially in Georgia. The state has one of the
highest rates of inmate suicide in the nation, nearly double the
national average.
