Curtis, Doreen Mariea

Tenure Summary

Doreen Mariea Curtis began her GDC career as a Correctional Officer at Hancock State Prison in 2005, then spent roughly a decade away from the record before reappearing at Emanuel Probation Detention Center in 2015, rising from Corrections Officer to Sergeant. She promoted to Lieutenant between 2018 and 2022 — years during which facility assignments are not recorded in GPS data — then served as Correctional Captain at Emanuel Women's Facility (2023) and at Bleckley Probation Substance Abuse Treatment Center (2024), where she was promoted to Correctional Assistant Superintendent in 2025. GPS records show zero deaths attributed to facility-leader tenures held by Curtis; her accountability tier reached unit supervisor (Lieutenant, Captain) and, most recently, facility deputy (Assistant Superintendent), but no deaths are linked to facilities during the specific postings she held at those accountability levels. The intel events and allegations documented below concern Hancock State Prison — where Curtis held a staff-tier position in 2005 only — and reflect conditions that developed years after her departure from that facility.

What Happened on Their Watch

Hancock State Prison — Correctional Officer, 2005
Curtis held a line-officer, staff-tier role at Hancock in 2005. GPS records show no deaths attributed to her tenure there. The facility-level intel events and allegations documented in GPS records — including multiple homicides, gang violence, and a severe staffing crisis — all fall between 2020 and 2026, well outside her 2005 posting. According to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, Hancock carried a 73.5% correctional officer vacancy rate as of October 2024, and a 2024 U.S. Department of Justice report described violence, sexual assaults, and gang-run conditions across Georgia's prisons fueled by a culture of indifference. Those systemic findings postdate Curtis's time at the facility by nearly two decades and are not connected to her service there.

Emanuel Probation Detention Center — Corrections Officer / Sergeant, 2015–2017; Emanuel Women's Facility — Captain, 2023; Bleckley Probation RSAT Center — Captain / Assistant Superintendent, 2024–2025
GPS records show no deaths attributed to Curtis's tenures at any of these facilities. No lawsuits name her as a defendant, and no intel reports or allegations are linked to these postings.
