You can file a report with the The Offender Affairs and Appeals Office, which is a department within the Georgia Department of Corrections. You can read more about The Offender Affairs and Appeals Office office at the following website: http://www.dcor.state.ga.us/Divisions/Corrections/InmateAffairs.html.

You may also consider contacting a civil rights attorney with experience in inmate abuse issues to advise you of your rights and options. If you cannot afford a civil rights attorney, or cannot find one who will represent you for free, you can consider contacting non-profit advocacy groups like the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU).

Best of luck.********The above is for informational purposes only and does not create an attorney-client privilege.*******
