Jackson, Valderine Dorothea

Tenure Summary

GPS records show no deaths attributed to facility-leader tenures held by Valderine Dorothea Jackson. Her documented history with the Georgia Department of Corrections, as captured in state personnel and payroll records, is a supervisory and administrative track rather than a warden-level one: a "Correction Administration" post in 2015 (salary $54,464.16), followed by four years as a CSM Correctional Unit Manager (2016–2018, salaries $56,642.88 to $58,381.90), and three years as a Deputy Warden (2019–2021, salaries $61,244.68, $66,769.20, and $35,021.82). No facility is identified in the records for any of these postings, and no death-during-tenure records, facility-level death counts, intel reports, intel events, or news mentions naming her appear in the available data. Her career history is documented in the Positions table below.

Because none of her recorded roles reached the facility-leader tier — the highest she is recorded as holding is Deputy Warden, an accountability tier of facility_deputy — there is no leadership posting on which to report deaths, per-facility patterns, or allegations. No inference should be drawn from the absence of facility attributions in the personnel records; the records simply do not name a facility.

Litigation

• Diaz v. Ward, No. 6:22-cv-00080 (S.D. Ga.), filed Nov. 8, 2022, terminated Sept. 27, 2023. Jackson is listed as a defendant in this civil case per the federal docket (CourtListener docket 65740801). No settlement or judgment amount is recorded. The available docket entry does not state the claims raised, the facility or incident at issue, or Jackson's role in the events, and nothing in the records provided links this case to a death. Note that the filing date falls after the last position recorded for her (Deputy Warden, through 2021), and the docket does not indicate what position, if any, she held at the time of filing.
