Kilgore, Shirley M

Tenure Summary

Shirley M. Kilgore's documented career with the Georgia Department of Corrections, per GPS records, runs from a 2015 Business Operations post through four years as a Deputy Warden (2016–2019). None of the positions in the record is tied to a named facility, and none carries facility-leader accountability. No deaths are attributed to any leadership tenure she held: the total across her record is zero.

Because no leadership-tier deaths, no intel reports, no intel events and no news mentions are recorded against her, there is no incident-level narrative to reconstruct here. What the record does show is civil litigation in which she was named as a defendant during her Deputy Warden years.

The record contains no facility-tenure postings for Kilgore — every position listed has no facility attached — so there is no facility to which deaths, incidents or findings are attributed.
