Note on record scope: GPS records do attribute 2 deaths to Phillips Transitional Center during periods when Brown held deputy-tier roles there (Deputy Warden in 2021; Correctional Assistant Superintendent in 2022–2025) — not a facility-lead position. Because Brown's `accountability_tier` across all Phillips postings is `facility_deputy`, and no `facility_lead` tenure is linked to any facility with attributed deaths, the deaths fall outside the facility-lead accountability threshold tracked in this profile. The two decedents on record are Anthony Lamar Johnson, age 62, who died October 10, 2021, while Brown served as Deputy Warden, and Wayne A. Lockett, age 67, who died December 23, 2024, while Brown served as Correctional Assistant Superintendent. Both deaths are categorized under cause category 6 in GPS records; no further notes, lawsuits, or news coverage tied to these deaths are present in the structured data. Eight federal civil cases list Brown as a defendant or co-defendant, but none appear on their face to concern GDC custody deaths, and none name Brown in connection with the two Phillips deaths documented here.
