Kilby, Richard

Tenure Summary

Richard Kilby holds a single leadership-tier posting in the available records: Warden of Terrell County Prison (recorded in the source material under the facility name "TERRELL COUNTY PRISON" and in the linked news item as "Terrell County Correctional Institution"), effective January 1, 2024, with no end date recorded and no salary amount listed for salary year 2024.

GPS's death-attribution count for Kilby's leadership tenure is zero, and the records list no lawsuits naming him as a defendant. That count sits alongside one documented allegation from outside reporting: an Atlanta Journal-Constitution entry dated January 21, 2025, logged against the facility while Kilby was warden, concerning the death of Logan Todd Peterson. The attribution total and the AJC item are separate data points from separate sources, and this profile reflects both without reconciling them.

What happened on their watch

Terrell County Prison — Warden, January 1, 2024–present

No deaths are attributed to Kilby's tenure as Warden at Terrell County Prison in GPS's tally, and no per-facility death totals are recorded for him. No lawsuits against him are documented in these records, and no news items name him directly.

One intel report is dated inside his tenure at the facility. Per the Atlanta Journal-Constitution's prison-homicide tracking list, in an entry dated January 21, 2025, Logan Todd Peterson died as a result of an assault that caused post-traumatic subarachnoid hemorrhage; the entry is indexed to Terrell County Correctional Institution. Kilby held the Warden role at that facility on that date, per GPS personnel records. The cause-of-death characterization is the AJC's, as captured in the intel log; the records provided here include no indictment, no conviction, and no Georgia Department of Corrections finding in connection with Peterson's death.

No other intel reports, intel events, or news mentions are recorded against the facility during Kilby's tenure in the data supplied. Because these lists cover only items dated within his own leadership period, they say nothing about conditions at the facility before January 1, 2024 or about any period in which he held a non-leadership role.
