Clark, LEE C

Tenure Summary

Lee C. Clark's career with the Georgia Department of Corrections spans more than two decades, beginning as a Counselor at Montgomery State Prison in 2001 and moving through Georgia State Prison (Counselor, 2003), Emanuel Women's Facility (Chief Counselor for programs, 2013), and Smith State Prison (Behavioral Health Counselor, 2015, at a listed salary of $42,186.48). Clark then entered facility administration as a Deputy Warden across 2016–2020, including postings at Rogers State Prison in 2018 and 2020, before serving as a Correctional Superintendent from 2021 through April 2025. Since May 1, 2025 Clark has been listed at Rogers State Prison as Special Assistant to the Warden, and from June 1, 2026 as Warden there, with a single-date "Warden 1" record at the same facility on August 27, 2026. GPS records list Clark as active, with no other sourced status.

The headline accountability figure: GPS records attribute zero deaths to any facility-leadership tenure held by Clark — none during his Correctional Superintendent years (2021–April 2025) and none during his Warden tenure at Rogers State Prison. No lawsuits naming Clark as a defendant appear in the records. What the record does contain for his Rogers tenure as Warden is a set of unadjudicated public accounts and intel items described below.

What happened on their watch

Correctional Superintendent, 2021–2025. Clark held the facility-lead role for four budget years at salaries rising from $66,129.52 (2021) to $87,494.13 (2025, through April 30). The records name no facility for these years except a single dated entry placing him at Smith Transitional Center on November 22, 2023. GPS records attribute no deaths to this leadership tenure.

Special Assistant to the Warden, Rogers State Prison, from May 1, 2025. The records describe this post without an accountability tier and list no incidents for the period.

Warden, Rogers State Prison, from June 1, 2026. All four intel items in the record fall inside this tenure and carry `role_at_time` of Warden. A June 2, 2026 intel item, from a source with no publication named, states that guards were stabbed during gang-related conflicts and that the stabbing appears to have triggered an ongoing modified lockdown. Three items dated September 1, 2026 derive from a publicly posted comment in a Georgia prison family group by a formerly incarcerated person, described as undated accounts: (1) a witness claim that a ceiling fan motor caught fire in a housing unit, that maintenance staff indicated the motor was the cause, that facility leadership and a fire official then discussed needing to blame someone, and that a prisoner from that unit was later removed and charged; (2) an allegation that a civilian farm hand on a dairy detail supplied contraband and allowed incarcerated workers into a farm office to use a computer, then told Georgia Correctional Industries staff the workers had broken in, and that the reporting person lost his detail and was refused any detail for the rest of his sentence; and (3) a report that a counselor at the facility was arrested after it was discovered he had brought contraband drugs and cell phones into the facility. These are claims by their sources, not adjudicated findings, and none have a corresponding record of charge, discipline, or court outcome in the data.

No deaths are attributed to Clark's tenure at any facility where he held a leadership post, and no news reporting names him.
