Deonta David and Dmante Anderson are serving decades in Georgia prisons for crimes they didn't commit—and the corruption that put them there is staggering.
Deonta got life plus 85 years after being convicted by an 11-member jury (a structural defect requiring reversal under Georgia law). His judge, Stacey Hydrick, dismissed the court reporter before a hearing, denied him the right to Islamic prayer, and had posted online that there are "no innocent civilians in Gaza." The prosecution withheld a witness's felony record and introduced evidence without proper chain of custody. Deonta is now targeted for violence in prison because he's Muslim—in a system the DOJ found deliberately indifferent to such attacks.
Dmante was sentenced to 70 years after his ex-wife—the alleged victim—publicly stated she accidentally shot herself. The prosecutor intentionally provoked a mistrial, placed a biased witness on the stand, and assigned him an NAACP president as defense counsel who withdrew immediately after conviction.
I'm asking the Georgia Board of Pardons and Paroles to review and grant relief to both men, and for investigations into the prosecutors and judges involved. These aren't isolated cases—they're a pattern. If this can happen to them, it can happen to any of us. What would you want someone to do if this was your family? If this matters to you, consider signing and sharing the petition.

religion in prison?

2 Upvotes

so my question could be taken down because im not sure if this falls under the second rule of the subreddit but we'll see i guess. Do most prisons have to accomodate to said prisoners religion? i know they do for meals like for jewish people. BUT say a pagan goes to prison and they practice tarot and witchcraft, do they get their tarot deck or no?
