Calhoun, Stefanie Cooper

Tenure Summary

Stefanie Cooper Calhoun appears in GPS records first as a FINANCIAL OPS GENERALIST 1 in 2022 and FINANCIAL OPS GENERALIST 2 in 2023, with no facility assignment listed for those postings. She later held Deputy Warden postings at Montgomery State Prison, with records entries in 2023, 2024, 2025, and 2026. Across that facility-deputy tenure, GPS records attribute one death: Dante Todd, 50, on July 12, 2026. GPS records list no lawsuits naming Calhoun as a defendant and no news mentions tied to her tenure. A separate state settlement record ties a $500,000 liability payout to Montgomery State Prison for a 2020 incident involving Richard Alan Lankford, according to the GA DOAS Risk Management settlement ledger; that event predates Calhoun’s documented Deputy Warden postings.
