About deaths recorded at Augusta State Medical Prison. Augusta State Medical Prison (ASMP) is the GDC's primary medical and end-of-life facility. It concentrates the system's most seriously ill, disabled, and dying people — many transferred there because they were already gravely ill or injured, including after violence at other prisons. A large share of the deaths counted here reflect advanced illness, and the wardens and deputy wardens listed should not be held personally accountable for every death at this facility. That said, conditions at ASMP still produce more deaths than necessary, and responsibility is shared: the State of Georgia and the Board of Pardons and Paroles bear equal responsibility for holding medically incapacitated and dying people in custody far longer than necessary. Read these figures as positional context — not as a measure of any individual official's culpability.
