Lester, Forrest J
Not on GDC's 2025 payroll (last listed 2024)
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.
Forrest J. Lester's record with the Georgia Department of Corrections contains no leadership-tier positions. He appears first as a rehabilitation counselor in 2015, then as a chaplain — a specialty lead role in the religious track — continuously from 2016 through 2024, with a single dated entry as Chaplain at Johnson State Prison on Nov. 22, 2023.
Georgia Prisoners' Speak records show no deaths attributed to facility-leader tenures held by Lester. The dataset also carries no lawsuits naming him, no intel reports or intel events at facilities under his authority, and no news mentions. Because chaplain is a specialty-lead post and not a facility command role, no death, incident, or litigation counts attach to him in this record, and nothing here documents allegations against him. His career history is documented in the Positions table below.
