As former President Donald Trump prepares to surrender in Atlanta on Thursday to face charges related to his efforts to overturn the 2020 presidential election, we speak with journalist George Chidi, who has documented the inhumane conditions inside the Fulton County Jail, where Trump will appear before a judge. "A lot of people are getting killed" inside the jail, says Chidi. "The jail is the largest mental health provider in this county, and that's a tragedy all on its own." He also discusses the death of Lashawn Thompson, who was found dead inside his cell after being eaten alive by insects, according to family. Chidi writes The Atlanta Objective newsletter, and his recent piece for Atlanta magazine is headlined "The real behind the wall: A look inside the infamous, deadly Fulton County Jail."
