Harvey, Tamika Latrice

Tenure Summary

Tamika Latrice Harvey has worked within the Georgia Department of Corrections since at least 2015, beginning as a Criminal Investigator and advancing through the ranks to Deputy Warden and then Correctional Superintendent. GPS records attribute one death to facilities during Harvey's leadership tenure — that of Jason Lee Mitchell, age 43, at Clayton Transitional Center on April 4, 2021, while Harvey held the Deputy Warden role there.

What Happened on Their Watch

Clayton Transitional Center — Deputy Warden (2021)

GPS records show Harvey served as Deputy Warden at Clayton Transitional Center during 2021. One death is attributed to the facility during that posting: Jason Lee Mitchell, 43, died on April 4, 2021. No cause-of-death notes are available in GPS records, and no news coverage, intel reports, or DOJ findings tied to this incident appear in the structured data. Harvey subsequently rose to Correctional Superintendent — a facility-lead role she has held from 2022 through at least 2025, with the 2025 salary record again placing her at Clayton Transitional Center. No additional deaths are attributed to her facility-lead tenures in GPS records.

Litigation

The three federal civil cases in which Harvey appears as a named defendant do not appear, on their face, to concern GDC operations or the Mitchell death:

• Willis v. Government Employees Insurance Company, No. 5:23-cv-00430 (M.D. Ga.), filed October 26, 2023; terminated January 23, 2026. No outcome amount recorded.
• Benvenutti v. Geico General Insurance Company, No. 5:22-cv-00182 (M.D. Ga.), filed May 11, 2022; terminated May 30, 2024. No outcome amount recorded.
• In Re Paragard IUD Products Liability Litigation, No. 1:20-md-02974 (N.D. Ga.), filed December 16, 2020; status pending. No outcome amount recorded.

The case captions and courts of record suggest these are insurance and products-liability matters unrelated to Harvey's correctional duties; GPS makes no allegation to the contrary.
