For those who have been following our page for a considerable time, you know that we have never engaged in crime shaming on this platform. Thus, this post is not focused on the individual charges against him, but rather on the preferential treatment he is receiving.
Readers should take note that Samuel Ham PLEAD GUILTY to all charges, which entails standing before a Judge and admitting that the allegations made by the state of Georgia are indeed accurate.
Recently, we posted about a former high-ranking POST division director who was placed in a re-entry program after pleading guilty to child s*x crimes on August 20th, 2025. Ham commenced his 20-year prison sentence on 8/28/25.
This sentence is being served without the possibility of parole.
What is POST?
"The mission of the Georgia Peace Officer Standards & Training Council is to provide the citizens of Georgia with qualified, professionally trained, ethical, and competent peace officers and criminal justice professionals."
According to the GDC, the Metro re-entry facility is intended for the following offenders:
"MISSION: To provide a secure environment, in collaboration with community stakeholders, that will offer essential services to returning citizens nearing release into the Metropolitan Atlanta community."
The Georgia Department of Corrections selects who they want to keep safe. If you were once powerful and influential in the state of Georgia, you meet that criteria for protection.
Yet, the Georgia Department of Corrections cannot ensure the safety of a young lady who was in their care serving a 2-year prison sentence for shoplifting.
Or a young man who was stabbed multiple times this week at Valdosta State Prison and lay in a pool of his own blood for hours before being discovered by staff.
There have also been countless other offenders in the custody of the Georgia Department of Corrections who have lost their lives to a system that seems indifferent to their protection.
Yet, here we have a man who pleaded guilty to very serious and alarming charges, receiving preferential treatment.
You have men and women who are soon to be released to society, that will never be placed in these type of facilities because the Georgia Department of Corrections could careless if you ever become a productive citizen again.
When you commit heinous crimes in our state no matter who you are. You should be housed in the same unsafe, unsecured facilities as everyone else.
