Fanning, Jacqueline

Tenure Summary

Jacqueline Fanning's career with the Georgia Department of Corrections began in education and behavioral health rather than custody. Records list her as an Adult Basic Education Instructor at Phillips State Prison in 2015 and as Instructor 2 there in 2016, then as Behavioral Health Counselor 2 in 2017 and at Arrendale State Prison in 2018, Behavioral Health Counselor 3 in 2019 and 2020, and Social Services Program Consultant 3 in 2021. She entered facility leadership in 2022 as Correctional Assistant Superintendent at West Central Integrated Treatment Facility, then held the same title at Burruss C.T.C. in 2023, 2024, and through Aug. 15, 2025, with a single-day Correctional Asst. Supt record at West Central dated Nov. 22, 2023. Her most recent records show her as Deputy Warden of Care and Treatment at Burruss C.T.C. from July 16, 2026, and a one-day Deputy Warden entry there dated Aug. 27, 2026.

Four deaths are attributed to her leadership tenure, all of them at Burruss C.T.C. No lawsuits naming her as a defendant appear in the records, and no news reports naming her directly appear either. One intel report from Burruss is dated to her Deputy Warden of Care and Treatment tenure.

What happened on their watch

Burruss C.T.C. — Correctional Asst. Supt (2023–2025). All four deaths attributed to Fanning's leadership tenures occurred at this facility while she held the Correctional Asst. Supt role. GPS's death registry names them:

• Jonathan Lee Mischloney died March 3, 2024, at Burruss C.T.C., at age 46; the registry lists the cause as Unknown/Pending.
• Christopher Troy Campbell died June 26, 2024, at Burruss C.T.C., at age 58; the registry lists the cause as Unknown/Pending.
• Anthony James Walkertriplett died Sept. 9, 2024, at Burruss C.T.C., at age 21; the registry lists the cause as Unknown/Pending.
• Tyler Michael Zacher died Feb. 3, 2025, at Burruss C.T.C., at age 22; the registry lists the cause as Homicide.

Three of the four decedents — Mischloney, Campbell and Walkertriplett — are recorded with a cause of Unknown/Pending, meaning GPS does not yet know the cause; no cause is asserted here. The registry's one recorded homicide is Zacher, at 22. The four span roughly eleven months, from March 2024 to February 2025, all inside the period covered by her Correctional Asst. Supt assignment at Burruss. No public narrative is attached to any of the four registry entries.

Burruss C.T.C. — Deputy Warden of Care and Treatment (from July 16, 2026). A relayed group report dated Sept. 17, 2026 and held in GPS's case submissions indicated that Burruss C.T.C. was off lockdown but under limited movement, with only outside details being released and meal service continuing as normal. The report is tied to this facility on that date, when the records place Fanning in the Deputy Warden of Care and Treatment role. It is a relaying of a group report, not an independently verified finding, and it makes no claim naming Fanning.
