What happened on their watch

Wilcox State Prison — Deputy Warden of Care and Treatment (March 16, 2026–present)

The two deaths attributed to Jackson’s Wilcox tenure are Earnest Sims, 44, with an incident date of March 16, 2026 — the same date Jackson’s posting began — and Gary Dwayne Felver, 65, with an incident date of June 15, 2026. In both entries, Jackson’s recorded role at the time was Deputy Warden of Care and Treatment, and both deaths are categorized in GPS records under cause category 6. For Sims, a Wilcox County Coroner record, case 2026-0316-15, states that as of July 5, 2026, the manner was still pending and the cause remained under investigation; the record notes “smoking strips” and seizure onset, documents an autopsy, and places the death in an open dorm at Wilcox State Prison. The Felver entry contains no additional notes in GPS records.

GPS records also contain allegations from the same period at Wilcox State Prison:

  • An uncorroborated public Facebook post dated May 12, 2026, alleged that Wilcox State Prison senior staff — including the deputy warden of care and treatment — held on-clock gatherings while inmate movement was locked down, alleged that basic inmate supply issuance had lapsed for roughly a year, and speculated about funding from the inmate benefit fund.
  • A GPS-recorded Telegram relay report dated April 2, 2026, alleged multiple stabbings at Wilcox State Prison resulting in a lockdown. GPS presents this as an unverified report, not a confirmed incident.
  • Atlanta Journal-Constitution reporting associated with Wilcox State Prison includes allegations that guards were tied to gangs and that a warden failed to provide promised follow-up after a prisoner’s killing. The cited killing of Dominique Cole occurred Sept. 16, 2025, before Jackson’s posting.

No deaths are attributed in GPS records to Jackson’s earlier staff-level roles at Pulaski State Prison or Dooly State Prison.
