Conley, T J

Tenure Summary

T.J. Conley's documented career with the Georgia Department of Corrections begins with a 2015 posting listed as Correction Administration — a staff-tier position, Jan. 1–Dec. 31, 2015, at a salary of $63,946 — and continues into three consecutive years as Warden 1, a facility-leadership tier, listed for 2016, 2017 and 2018 at salaries of $73,298, $73,075 and $59,053.40. The personnel records do not name a specific facility for any of those postings. Conley is listed as active.

No deaths are attributed to any of Conley's facility-leadership tenures: the attributed total for his Warden 1 years is zero, and no per-facility death counts are recorded against him. The same records contain no intelligence reports or logged events at facilities during those tenures, and no news coverage naming him directly. The accountability record that does exist is civil: thirteen federal lawsuits naming Conley as defendant, filed between 2010 and 2023, every one terminated, with no settlement or judgment amount recorded in any of them.

What happened on their watch

Warden 1 — three consecutive annual postings, 2016, 2017 and 2018 (no facility identified in the records). Zero deaths are attributed to Conley's time in this facility-leadership role. No intelligence reports, no logged events, and no news mentions naming him are recorded during these years. What the records do show is litigation filed while he held the role: five suits were docketed against him inside the 2016–2018 window — Richardson v. Conley (filed March 7, 2016), Dunson v. Conley (July 29, 2016), Pharr v. Conley (Oct. 11, 2016), Hopkins v. Conley (April 10, 2017) and Wright v. Conley (Nov. 21, 2017). All five were terminated; the dockets as recorded show no monetary outcome. The records do not state the claims made in those suits.

Earlier, while Conley held the 2015 Correction Administration post, Johnson v. Conley was filed on Nov. 30, 2015 in GAMD and terminated March 29, 2016. Four further suits naming Conley were filed after the documented Warden 1 period — Mathews (2019), Bryant and Johnson (both 2020), Millican (2021) and Dinkle (2023). The records do not state what role, if any, Conley held at the Department on those filing dates.
