Georgia Senate Republicans have chosen a convenient time to take interest in the squalid conditions at the Fulton County Jail. For decades, social justice activists and people incarcerated there have sounded the alarm about the jail’s conditions, which have contributed to deaths, staff corruption, overcrowding and crumbling facilities.
