Tenure Summary
Remona Annette Holloway’s career with the Georgia Department of Corrections began in 2015 as a clerk and advanced through several human-resources roles before she assumed facility-deputy leadership positions. In October 2024 she became Deputy Warden of Administration at Augusta State Medical Prison, a post she held until January 2026. While still serving at Augusta, Holloway was also appointed Deputy Warden — later styled Deputy Warden of Administration — at Phillips State Prison in January 2025, a role she continues to occupy. GPS records attribute a total of 84 deaths to the facilities where Holloway held a deputy-warden rank: 63 at Augusta State Medical Prison and 21 at Phillips State Prison. No lawsuits name Holloway as a defendant.What happened on their watch
Augusta State Medical Prison (Deputy Warden of Administration, October 1 2024–January 15 2026)
During Holloway’s tenure at this medical-prison facility, GPS records attribute 63 deaths. The sample of decedents includes individuals such as Anthony J. Walker, 74, who died from septic shock (natural, per the Richmond County Coroner); Ronnie Williams, 65, from colon cancer; and Alfonzo Foster, 74, from complications of lung cancer. Several deaths were classified as accidents or involved trauma: Darius D. Grant, 52, died from blunt-force head trauma after a fall, and Trico R. Williams, 65, from asphyxia. Stephen Prochaska died by suicide (hanging) in January 2025. Many cause-of-death records note natural illnesses consistent with the facility’s medical mission, though the sample also includes deaths for which the cause category is not yet publicly specified. The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported allegations of systemic failures at Augusta, including a 2024 DOJ investigation that described “horrific violence, sexual assaults, and gang-run prisons … enabled by a culture of indifference,” though the specific incidents cited — such as the deaths of Thomas Henry Giles (2020) and Jimmy Lucero (2016) — predate Holloway’s leadership.Phillips State Prison (Deputy Warden, January 1 2025–present)
GPS records attribute 21 deaths at Phillips State Prison since Holloway assumed a deputy-warden role there. The sample includes Jody Stokes, whose death was ruled a homicide by the Gwinnett County Coroner/GBI Medical Examiner; Terry Nichols and Christopher B. Hines, whose deaths were classified as suicides; and Justin C. Kinsey and Kendrick K. Scales, whose deaths were ruled accidents. Other decedents, such as Richard L. Thatcher, Rickie L. Rutherford, and Cornelius Burge, died from causes that are not yet categorized in public records. The Atlanta Journal-Constitution has reported allegations that officers at Phillips arranged for an incarcerated person to be brought to a lockdown unit on the day he was killed in a gang-related stabbing, and that another person was assaulted in a mental-health ward with pipes, resulting in brain death.Sources
