Inman, John Augusta
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
GPS records show no deaths attributed to any facility-leadership tenure held by John Augusta Inman. His documented GDC career begins with a Correction Administration post in 2015 (salary year 2015), followed by two years as a Deputy Warden — a facility-deputy tier role — across 2016 and 2017, with no facility named in those records. From 2018 through 2025 he appears in staff-tier correctional officer positions: CSM Correctional Officer 2 from 2018 to 2023, and CSM Correctional Officer 3 from 2024 to 2025, with salary records showing $8,104.59 for the partial 2025 year.
The only facility-specific entries in his record are two single-day position listings at Telfair State Prison — as CSM Correctional Officer 2 on Nov. 22, 2023, and as CSM Correctional Officer 3 on Aug. 27, 2026. Both are staff-tier, non-leadership postings. He is listed as a defendant in one federal lawsuit, Thomas v. White, filed in the Southern District of Georgia in December 2023 and terminated in February 2024. No news reports name him directly, and his record contains no intelligence reports or logged events tied to his tenure at any facility.
What happened on their watch
Deputy Warden, 2016–2017 (facility not specified in records): No deaths are attributed to this leadership posting, and no lawsuits are recorded against him during these years. The position records do not identify which facility he served at in this role.
Staff-tier postings at Telfair State Prison (Nov. 22, 2023, and Aug. 27, 2026): These are recorded as single-day, non-leadership listings. Because they fall outside a leadership tenure, GPS's dataset does not carry facility-level incident, report or event lists for these periods; the records state only the role and dates. No deaths are attributed to Inman in connection with them.
