In
this, the first of several reports on the aftermath of the courageous
protest of Georgia prisoners last December, we update the case of
Terrance Dean, brutally beaten by prison guards at Macon State Prison on
December 16, 2009, and the role played by TOPS, The Ordinary Peoples
Society, in working with his family and legal team, and in the larger
struggle to roll back the nation's policy of mass incarceration.
