Tenure Summary
Phillip Glenn’s career with the Georgia Department of Corrections spans two decades, moving from trades and maintenance roles into facility leadership. GPS records show he served as Deputy Warden of Administration at Coastal State Prison in 2014, then held a series of deputy warden positions before returning to Coastal as Deputy Warden from 2022 through 2023. In 2024 he was promoted to Warden of the facility, a post he held at least through the first half of 2026. During his combined leadership tenure at Coastal State Prison—as deputy warden (2022–2023) and warden (2024–2026)—93 deaths were attributed, every one of them at that prison. A single lawsuit, Hagans v. Ward, was filed against Glenn in federal court in late 2023 and terminated in mid‑2025.What happened on their watch
Deputy Warden of Administration, Coastal State Prison (2014)
The available records sample contains no inmate deaths during Glenn’s 2014 stint as Deputy Warden of Administration at Coastal. No news reports or intel from the period have been linked to his time in that role.Deputy Warden, Coastal State Prison (2022–2023)
GPS records attribute 17 deaths to Coastal State Prison while Glenn served as deputy warden between January 2022 and December 2023. The incident list—a capped sample—shows a steady drumbeat of fatalities, with most classified under cause category 6, a designation the data does not further describe. At least one death was a homicide: on October 20, 2023, Salomon Andres Ramirez, 43, died of injuries that the Atlanta Journal‑Constitution’s homicide investigation identifies as an “apparent homicide.” A lawsuit, Hagans v. Ward (No. 4:23‑cv‑00352, U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Georgia), was filed on December 14, 2023, naming Glenn as a defendant; court records list the case as “terminated” as of July 16, 2025, with no settlement amount disclosed.Warden, Coastal State Prison (2024–2026)
After becoming warden in early 2024, Glenn presided over the facility during the remaining 76 deaths that make up the total of 93 attributed to his leadership. Again, the bulk are coded as category 6, but at least two homicides appear in the sample. On February 26, 2026, 21‑year‑old Aiden Snapp “was brutally beaten and died of massive head injuries,” according to a user report, and 49‑year‑old Anteveis Brown was fatally stabbed in Dorm A2, per prisoner accounts relayed via Telegram. Both were grouped under cause category 3.Broader institutional failures were documented during Glenn’s wardenship. In February 2026, WTOC published a report in which workers and inmates alleged a “human rights crisis” at Coastal, specifically claiming that correctional officers “brutally beat inmates regularly” and withheld food as punishment. Separately, an inmate report from May 2026 described a kitchen closure and severe food shortages, saying prisoners received a single hamburger and hot dog for supper and that commissary access was limited. A public health inspection on April 23, 2026, gave the prison a score of 70, citing live roaches, a dead mouse in mop water, mold, and improper food temperatures. The facility was given until May 3 to correct the hazards.
