The issue of increasing suicide rates among inmates in Georgia state prisons is a pressing concern that needs immediate attention. According to the Bureau of Justice Statistics, suicide rates in U.S. prisons have been steadily rising over the past decade, with Georgia being one of the states experiencing this alarming trend. This issue not only reflects a severe violation of human rights but also indicates a lack of adequate mental health support and prevention measures within our prison system.

The current situation calls for an urgent review and reform of mental health policies and practices within these institutions. We need to ensure that inmates are provided with necessary psychological support, proper treatment for those struggling with mental illnesses, and effective suicide prevention strategies.

By signing this petition, you are urging local authorities and policy makers to take immediate action towards addressing this critical issue. Your signature can make a difference by bringing about much-needed change in our prison system's approach towards inmate mental health care.

Please sign this petition to demand better mental health services and suicide prevention measures for inmates in Georgia state prisons.
