Lewis Levine finds himself at the scene of multiple related crimes. The women connect back to Smith State Prison.
This is a limited series podcast from Evey Wilson Wetherbee and Jessica Szilagyi. In the midst of a federal investigation into Georgia’s prisons for civil rights violations, they decided to use one prison in South Georgia as a case study. The things they found are chilling. An 88-year-old man is shot while he’s sleeping. Another man is murdered one county over. A woman is found dead in a mobile home park. And somehow they all link back to the same prison, illuminating many of the complex problems that plague Georgia’s criminal justice system. This reporting is from Mercer’s Center for Collaborative Journalism and The Georgia Virtue.
