Jefferies, Curtis Leroy
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 facility-leader tenures held by Curtis Leroy Jefferies. His career history is documented in the Positions table below. Jefferies entered Georgia Department of Corrections service in a clinical track — behavioral health counselor roles from 2015 through 2022, rising from counselor to Behavioral Health Counselor Supervisor — before moving into custody-side administration as a Deputy Warden beginning in 2023. A dated position record lists him as Deputy Warden at Macon State Prison as of 2026-08-27. Georgia Prisoners' Speak attributes no in-custody deaths to any of his leadership postings; no death rows, facility-level death counts, intelligence reports, or intelligence events within his tenure are recorded for him.
No news reports naming Jefferies directly appear in the records. Periods he spent in non-leadership behavioral-health roles (2015–2022) are outside the scope of the incident and death data collected here, and nothing in these records should be read as indicating what did or did not occur at any facility during those years.
Litigation

No damages amount is recorded in the disposition. The docket entry does not specify the allegations or Jefferies's role at the time of the underlying events; at the time of filing, per salary records, he held the title Behavioral Health Counselor Supervisor.
