Houser, Russell
On GDC's 2025 payroll
Profile written September 23, 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
Georgia Prisoners' Speak records show no deaths attributed to any facility-leader tenure held by Russell Houser. His documented career history with the Georgia Department of Corrections consists of non-leadership positions: a behavioral health counselor role (2015) and Chaplain posts from 2016 through 2025 — the latter classified under the specialty-lead tier, not the facility-leadership tier. Records list two dated Chaplain assignments at Montgomery State Prison (November 22, 2023, and August 27, 2026), with his remaining Chaplain service recorded without a facility assignment. No lawsuits naming him as a defendant, no intelligence reports or events tied to his tenures, and no news coverage naming him appear in the compiled records. Because these postings were not facility-leadership roles, no death counts, incidents, or allegations are attributed to them here. His full role history is documented in the Positions table.
