This profile reflects positional accountability — this individual held the leadership roles shown during the dates shown, during which the listed deaths or lawsuits occurred. Inclusion does not constitute a legal finding of personal culpability for any specific incident.
Tenure Summary
Stefanie Cooper Calhoun entered Georgia Department of Corrections employment in a non-custodial track, serving as a Financial Operations Generalist 1 in 2022 and a Financial Operations Generalist 2 in 2023, according to GDC personnel and salary records. In November 2023 she moved into facility leadership as a Deputy Warden at Montgomery State Prison, a role she held continuously through 2024 and 2025 according to annual salary records (rising from $64,049.91 to $69,772.08), with a further Deputy Warden entry at the same facility dated August 27, 2026.
Across her leadership-tier tenures, one death is attributed to her watch: Dante Todd, 50, who died at Montgomery State Prison on July 12, 2026, when Calhoun held the Deputy Warden role there. No lawsuits naming her as a defendant appear in the records, and no intelligence reports, intel events, or news mentions naming her were identified.
What happened on their watch
Deputy Warden, Montgomery State Prison — from November 22, 2023
Montgomery State Prison is the only facility where Calhoun has held a leadership post, and it accounts for the single death attributed to her tenure. Dante Todd, 50, died at the facility on July 12, 2026, per GPS mortality records; the record lists Calhoun's role on that date as Deputy Warden. The death is logged under cause category 6 in the mortality record, and no public narrative accompanies the entry — the source material does not state a manner, cause, or any aggravating finding, and none should be inferred from the absence of one.
That single death is the entirety of the leadership-tier mortality attribution in the records for this person. No lawsuit filed against Calhoun as a defendant appears in the data, and no intel reports or intel events dated within her Montgomery tenure were identified. No coverage naming her directly was located either, so there is no documented mass incident, DOJ finding, or audit connected to her by name in the material reviewed.
Her earlier positions — Financial Operations Generalist 1 for calendar year 2022 and Financial Operations Generalist 2 for calendar year 2023 — carry no facility assignment in the records and fall outside the leadership tier; they are noted here for career continuity only. The records do not document deaths, incidents, reports, or events for those periods, and nothing in this narrative should be read as characterizing them either way.
