This series contains a wide assortment of publications produced by the inmates of a number of penal institutions and rehabilitation centers in Georgia. The format of these publications varies from that of a newsletter of approximately ten pages in length to that of an inspirational tract of about four pages. For example, the GSP News, published monthly by the inmates of the Georgia State Prison at Reidsville, is much like any newsletter produced by one of the many state agencies in Georgia. Editorials, interviews with inmates, articles on personal philosophy, legal matters, library hours, industrial shops, training offerings, Georgia correctional history, staff changes and even comics, poetry and puzzles may be found within its pages. There is no way to ascertain whether a complete set or these publications exists anywhere due, at least in part, to the mercurial nature of the staffs which produced them. It may be supposed that all institutions produced some sort of publication at some time, but not all were received or collected by the Public Information Office in Atlanta. For similar publications created before the Georgia government reorganization of 1972, see RGSGSERIES 21-2-34, Records of the Office of the Director of the Department of Corrections.
