Tenure Summary
Fortune began his career with the Georgia Department of Corrections in 2015 as a corrections officer and rose through staff and supervisory ranks—sergeant, then lieutenant—before stepping into a leadership role in 2023. Since January 2023 he has served as Correctional Assistant Superintendent at the Atlanta Transitional Center, a position with facility-deputy accountability. GPS records attribute one death to the facility during his tenure there. No lawsuits naming Fortune as a defendant and no intelligence reports or news mentions tied to his postings were identified.
What happened on their watch
Atlanta Transitional Center (2023–present)
GPS records attribute one death to the Atlanta Transitional Center while Fortune held the assistant superintendent role. Joel Bennett, 44, died on March 22, 2023. The Georgia Department of Corrections lists the death as an in‑custody incident at the facility, with a cause category of 6 (indicating unknown or pending). GPS’s subsequent inquiry with the Fulton County Medical Examiner found that the office has no record of a decedent named Joel Bennett in its system—returning no case under the facility address or the decedent’s name. Because the death was not handled by the Fulton County examiner, the place of death was likely certified elsewhere, and the official cause remains unverified as of this writing. No civil lawsuits were filed against Fortune in connection with this death or any other matter during his tenure at the center.
