Note on litigation: Although no in-custody deaths are linked to Adams's tenures in GPS records, court records show Adams is named as a defendant in two civil cases filed during his Warden 3 tenure — Kicklighter v. Adams (6:23-cv-00016, GASD, filed 2023-03-06, terminated 2024-02-13) and Coast v. Adams (6:25-cv-00049, GASD, filed 2025-06-09, currently pending) — as well as an earlier Daugherty v. Adams (1:16-cv-02480, GAND, filed 2016-07-08, terminated 2017-03-22) filed during his Correctional Captain year. The underlying claims in these cases are not specified in available records. No outcome amounts are recorded for any matter. The remaining cases in which Adams appears — Hall v. Shepard, Daker v. Emmons, Johnson v. Bell, Harris v. Comfort Care Transportation Services Inc., Robinson v. Integrative Detention Health Services Inc., and Owners Insurance Company v. Tidewater Fleet Supply LLC — do not name Adams as a primary defendant or their connection to his GDC role is not established by available records.
