Three Dead, 13 Injured After Riot at Georgia State Prison
Three inmates have died and 13 others were injured following violent clashes at a medium-security prison in Davisboro, Georgia, U.S., authorities confirmed. Washington County Sheriff Joel Cochran said the incident occurred early Sunday afternoon, with several major fights breaking out among inmates. Two died at the facility, while one succumbed to injuries in hospital.
The prison, with a capacity of 1,548, saw multiple inmates transported for medical treatment. Cochran noted that prison disturbances are not uncommon, but the scale of this riot was unusual. One guard may also have been injured during the chaos.
The Human and Civil Rights Coalition of Georgia identified one deceased inmate as Jimmy Stillwell Trammell, due for release next week after a 10-year sentence. Video shared by the coalition shows inmates fleeing the building amid the violence.
State troopers, local police, and the coroner’s office responded to the scene. Fatal incidents in U.S. prisons are rare but have occurred in recent years following inmate altercations.
