The Georgia Department of Corrections claims 5 inmates committed suicide in past month – and the latest just happened in Augusta, GA
By Greg Peterson 906-273-2433 S.E. Social Justice Breaking News News Director/Co-Owner
The Georgia Department of Corrections has announced its investigating an inmate death in Augusta, GA – and it claims it is the fourth suicide in recent days and the fifth in about a month.
In fact, it is clear that violence, murder and alleged suicides are way out of control in Georgia prisons.
Just as in northern Michigan, inmates in Georgia area dropping like flies – accusations of brutality have long plagued prisons like Reidsville State Prison– and South Eastern Social Justice Breaking News has put together the resources to probe Augusta area prisons – as we have done in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan.
In Michigan, our sister news service has revealed state inmate death coverups and even caught the state lying about whether a riot was underway – but we force4d the state to admit the Kinross riot.

A Correctional Officer found 56-year-old inmate Roy Bradshaw (GDC#141503) of Dublin, GA unresponsive in his cell at 7:44 a.m. on October 31, 2017.
Bradshaw was found dead one year to the day after losing a ruling by the Michigan Supreme Court that upheld his life sentence.
“Prison medical staff provided life saving measures to revive him,” a state press release said of the deceased murderer.
At 8:30 a.m., Emergency Medical Services arrived on scene and the inmate was pronounced deceased at 8:34 a.m. by the EMT.
Bradshaw was sentenced to Life Without Parole in 2009, in Putnam County, for a Milledgeville Murder, Aggravated Assault and Robbery in the March 2008 beating death of Earl Gil.
Two McDuffie County men – a father and son – were also convicted of the crime. They are Mims Michael Morris Sr., 55, of Sardis; and Mims Michael Morris Jr., 26, of Sardis.
On March 15, 2008, the men gave 44-year-old Earl Eugene Gill $25 to purchase marijuana, but Gill was unable to obtain the drugs. Authorities say when he returned empty-handed, the men beat him then dumped him in Putnam County. Gill died 11 days later.

BRADSHAW v. THE STATE.
S16A1070
Decided: October 31, 2016
Appellant Roy Lee Bradshaw was tried and convicted of malice murder and related offenses in connection with the March 2008 beating death of Earl Gill. Bradshaw appeals,1 alleging he received ineffective assistance of counsel and arguing that the trial court erred in admitting his custodial statements at trial. Finding no error, we affirm.
Viewed in the light most favorable to the jury’s verdict, the evidence adduced at trial establishes as follows. Earl Gill befriended Bradshaw, his wife Teresa, and the Morrises, Bradshaw’s co-defendants, while staying at an Econolodge in Milledgeville, Georgia. On March 15, 2008, Gill called his drug dealer, Michael Robbins, to arrange a drug buy for himself, Bradshaw, and the Morrises, funded by the group. Later that day, Gill drove with Robbins to a nearby Wal-Mart to complete the drug transaction. Upon their arrival at the store, Gill gave Robbins the group’s money. Robbins then entered the store under the pretense of completing the drug deal, but he never returned. After a fruitless search for Robbins, Gill walked back to the Econolodge and informed Bradshaw and the Morrises that Robbins had taken their money.
Believing that Gill was in on the theft, Bradshaw and the Morrises forced Gill into the back of Bradshaw’s van and, with Teresa in the driver’s seat,2 the group proceeded to ride around town in search of the stolen money. During the search, the men periodically struck Gill and, with each unsuccessful stop, they grew angrier and more convinced that Gill had stolen their money.
Eventually, Bradshaw had Teresa pull to the side of the road after which he and the Morrises dragged Gill from the vehicle and beat him for an extended period of time, finally leaving the victim for dead. Somehow, Gill managed to regain consciousness and stumble to a nearby home. When the owners saw Gill’s extensive injuries, they took him to the hospital where he died 9 days later from severe blunt force injuries to his head.
At trial, the jury heard many witnesses testify as to the numerous post-incident inculpatory statements made by Bradshaw, his wife, and the Morrises concerning their participation in Gill’s murder. Bradshaw also confessed to law enforcement that he and the Morrises beat the victim in the van and on the side of the road. Gill’s blood was found inside Bradshaw’s van, along with a bloody baseball bat and medium force velocity blood spatter, consistent with Gill being struck with a fist or bat.

2015 ALEC will be in deep south twice in next two months:
The Southernization of America train rolls into Georgia.
April 6 – Privileged Augusta, Georgia for 2015 Masters Golf Tournament that will be played the week of Monday, April 6 through Sunday, April 12, 2015
May 15 – Antebellum Savannah, Georgia for Spring Task Force Summit
The Southernization of America: Evil ALEC laws patterned after Jim Crow:
Attacking Democratic voters, union workers, low-income people, women and others that corporate America wants to control using laws modeled by the American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC)
How Right to Work, Personhood and Voter Suppression are the New ALEC (Jim) Crow laws.
ALEC Crow Laws for all low-income Americans are like Jim Crow Laws targeted “Negros” across the south
Laws that inhibit minority voting – and stop public protesting
Corporations and corrupt lawmakers have managed to ruin the American middle class while getting fat with the American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC)
ALEC 2015 Spring Task Force Summit – May 15, 2015 – Savannah, Georgia
These folks know the evil south corporations like energy companies and industry give the exchange council anything it wants.
Here is an ALEC ad about the “Spring Task Force Summit” in Savannah:
Future ALEC Meetings:
2015 Annual Meeting – July 22-24, 2015 – San Diego, California
2015 States and Nation Policy Summit – December 2-4, 2015 – Scottsdale, Arizona
REWARD for photos of ALEC Fat Crows with Golf Clubs in their hands at 2015 ‘Masters’
Show these corporate executives partying in Augusta and Savannah at the expense of the 99 percent – better yet send us video
Just look at the damage Jim Crow is doing in 2015 before getting out of their nests of iniquity for their catered breakfasts using golf tees to pick the bones of the 99 percent!
ALEC payroll:
2,000 legislative members (all 50 states)
85 members of the U.S. Congress
14 sitting or former governors who are “alumni”
300 corporate, foundation, and other private-sector members
America’s mega-wealthy – who are not satisfied with just controlling and running the lives of millions of low-income U.S. residents – now they’re passing laws to micro-manage and destroy their fellow citizens.
Among other activities, the group provides a venue for private individuals and corporations to assist politicians in developing what it considers model laws serving the economic and political aims of its members. ALEC also serves as a networking tool among state legislators, allowing them to research the handling and “best practices” of policy in other states.
ALEC currently has more than 2,000 legislative members representing all 50 states, as well as more than 85 members of congress and 14 sitting or former governors who are considered “alumni”. ALEC also claims approximately 300 corporate, foundation, and other private-sector members. A list of ALEC leaders in the states includes 73 Republican lawmakers and 7 Democrats.
Day-to-day operations are run from ALEC’s Washington, D.C. office by an executive director and a staff of approximately 30.[3]
ALEC has more than 2,000 legislative members in the 50 states – ready and willing to follow conservative orders – and boast “alumni” of more than 85 members of congress and 14 sitting or former governors.
On the payroll literally/mentally are: 73 Republican lawmakers and 7 Democrats
ALEC was founded in September 1973, when a small group of conservative state legislators and policy advocates met in Chicago with the stated purpose of founding “A nonpartisan membership association for conservative state lawmakers who shared a common belief in limited government, free markets, federalism, and individual liberty.” – Wikipedia
ALEC Founders and those with original ALEC fingerprints include:
1973 ALEC Co-founder: Paul M. Weyrich (October 7, 1942 – December 18, 2008) was an Americanconservative political activist and commentator, notable figurehead of the New Right and co-founder of the Heritage Foundation, states Wikipedia:
SourceWatch website with info about ERIC Laws and the conspiracy involving the the American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC) that gets it sacks of cash (funding) from Koch Industries, Big Oil, Big Pharma, the Scaife family Allegheny Foundation, the Coors family Castle Rock Foundation, and more:
The American Legislative Exchange Council, ALEC, brings together corporations and legislators to write legislation prior to submitting it to local legislative bodies across the United States. This technique is being used to produce legislation that benefits corporate interests over the interests of local residents.
You see these laws causing political chaos in Wisconsin, Ohio, Florida and many other states. One of the ALEX projects includes efforts to limit voter participation by various means and thus drive down Democratic votes.
These activities disenfranchise voters through Voter ID requirements, restricting college student voting, disenfranchising persons with prison records, manipulating the voting process and more.
These laws have a greater impact on minorities, women, the elderly and the poor.

The U.S. House of Representatives voted 388-to-3 in favor of H.R. 347 late Monday, Feb. 27, 2012 – that ostensibly makes trespass illegal on the White House Grounds – but also allows the government to arrest Americans engaged in political protest anyplace/anywhere/anytime.
Georgia Senators crafted their own similar anti-union legislation – House Bill 469 – making protesting by workers illegal.
