Hakes Demands Newsmax’s Attention: Garland Urgently Calls for Fulton County Jail’s Closure
Former federal prosecutors Francey Hakes and Jay Town are calling for the closure of the Fulton County jail in Georgia following the fifth death of an inmate since July 31. The Department of Justice has already opened an investigation into the facility due to allegations of unsafe conditions, violence, and excessive force by officers. Hakes and Town argue that the Eighth Amendment, which prohibits cruel and unusual punishment, is being violated at the jail. They suggest that the DOJ should intervene and relocate the inmates to other facilities. The prosecutors speculate that Attorney General Merrick Garland may be hesitant to take action due to the pending criminal trial of former President Donald Trump and his co-defendants.
