Tenure Summary
GPS records show Remona Annette Holloway rose through Georgia Department of Corrections personnel roles from a clerk position in 2015 through HR technician, analyst, and supervisory roles before entering facility-deputy leadership. Her first facility-deputy posting was Deputy Warden of Administration at Augusta State Medical Prison from Oct. 1, 2024, to Jan. 15, 2026. Position records also list Holloway as Deputy Warden at Phillips State Prison from Jan. 1, 2025, to Oct. 31, 2025, and as Deputy Warden of Administration at Phillips from Nov. 1, 2025 onward; the Augusta and Phillips postings overlap during 2025. GPS records attribute 70 deaths to Holloway’s facility-leader tenures: 63 at Augusta State Medical Prison and 7 at Phillips State Prison. GPS records list no lawsuits naming Holloway as a defendant and no news mentions naming her. The postings began as a 2024 DOJ report described GDC-wide violence, sexual assaults, and gang-run prisons, according to the AJC.What happened on their watch
Augusta State Medical Prison (Deputy Warden of Administration, Oct. 1, 2024 – Jan. 15, 2026)
The available Augusta death records tied to this posting show a preponderance of natural causes. Richmond County Coroner’s Office summaries cited in GPS records document deaths involving septic shock, cancer, respiratory failure, cardiovascular disease, and end-stage renal disease. Non-natural certifications also appear: Stephen Prochaska, 70, was certified by the GBI medical examiner as suicide by hanging on Jan. 21, 2025; Darius D. Grant, 52, accident with blunt-force head trauma following a fall; and Trico Rocco Williams, 65, accident, asphyxia. GPS records note a conflicting cause string for Kendius Hill: a GDC-released mortality entry lists “Homocide, Anoxic Brain Injury and Septic Shock” — flagged in the record as a spelling artifact — while the Richmond County Coroner’s Office summary reports natural anoxic brain injury. During Holloway’s Augusta tenure, the state settled the Thomas Henry Giles death case for $5 million on Jan. 21, 2025, per GPS event records; the underlying 2020 death was reported by the AJC as a smoke-filled-cell death ruled homicide by the GBI. The same Jan. 21, 2025 event record notes the DOJ investigation found Rodarick Lee Hayes had been attacked multiple times before his death at Augusta. AJC-reported allegations in GPS intel records implicate Augusta in failure-to-protect claims involving Eddie Gosier and Jimmy Lucero; those events predate Holloway’s leadership posting.Phillips State Prison (Deputy Warden, Jan. 1 – Oct. 31, 2025; Deputy Warden of Administration, Nov. 1, 2025 onward)
GPS records attribute seven deaths to Holloway’s Phillips postings. Among the named decedents, Justin Curtis Kinsey’s death was certified accident by the Gwinnett County Coroner/GBI Medical Examiner, while Willie Roseborough and Rodger Scales were certified natural. Cornelius Burge’s death was certified natural as probable cardiac dysrhythmia due to concentric left ventricular hypertrophy; the report lists Feb. 11, 2026, as a found date rather than an observed time of death, and notes a history of schizoaffective disorder. GPS records list no cause detail for Rickie Lynn Rutherford, Richard L. Thatcher, and Jacob Ray Nicholson. GPS intel records also contain AJC-reported Phillips allegations: that officers arranged for a prisoner named McBride to be brought to the lockdown unit the day he was killed in a gang-related stabbing, and that Dave Stone was assaulted in a mental health ward and suffered brain death. The provided records do not date those allegations, so GPS does not confirm they occurred during Holloway’s tenure.Sources
