Status: active
Profile written May 31, 2026
This profile reflects positional accountability — this individual held the leadership roles shown during the dates shown, during which the listed deaths or lawsuits occurred. Inclusion does not constitute a legal finding of personal culpability for any specific incident.
Tenure Summary
Gwendolyn Green has held a series of posts inside the Georgia Department of Corrections since 2015, beginning as a correctional officer and probation/parole officer, rising to correctional sergeant, lieutenant, and unit manager. In 2022 she was promoted to deputy warden at Emanuel Women’s Facility, a role she holds as of the latest salary record in 2025. Over the entirety of her career, GPS records attribute one death to a facility during her leadership tenure — all during her time as deputy warden at Emanuel. Lawsuits in which Green is named as a defendant appear on court dockets, but none on their face stem from her corrections work.What happened on their watch
Emanuel Women’s Facility – Deputy Warden (2022–present) GPS records count one death at Emanuel Women’s Facility while Green served as deputy warden. On July 5 2024, Lisa Michelle Morris, age 51, died at the facility; the death is listed under cause category 6. No other deaths were recorded at Emanuel during Green’s tenure as of the data extract. Separately, GPS intelligence records note that Emanuel Women’s Facility had a history of multiple deaths under a previous medical leadership regime: at least 22 women died between 2005 and 2015 while Dr. Yvon Nazaire was medical director, including two deaths at Emanuel. Those events predate Green’s arrival by several years.Green’s earlier career postings — correctional officer, sergeant, lieutenant, and unit manager — carried accountability tiers of staff or unit supervisor but had no facility identifiers in the GPS dataset, and no deaths are attributed to those assignments. Her simultaneous community supervision roles (probation/parole officer, community supervision officer 2) are not linked to any facility-level deaths.
