Lilliott, Shameka

Tenure Summary

Shameka Lilliott's documented GDC career spans two decades and a single institution: McRae Women's Facility. She began as a Correctional Officer there in 2004, returned in 2022 as a Unit Manager, and moved into unit-supervisor ranks as a CSM Correctional Unit Manager — a role recorded for November 22, 2023, and again from January 1 through December 15, 2024, at a listed salary of $64,001.20. On December 16, 2024, she stepped into the facility's deputy command: a Deputy Warden of Security posting recorded through April 15, 2026, alongside a DEPUTY WARDEN listing covering calendar year 2025 at a listed salary of $72,803.85. Her personnel status with the department is listed as active, with no sourced status change on file.

Two deaths are attributed to Lilliott's leadership tenures, both at McRae Women's Facility, and both occurred while she held a deputy warden role. One is recorded as a homicide. GPS holds no lawsuits naming her as a defendant, no intel reports or intel events dated inside her leadership tenure at the facility, and no news reports that name her directly.

What happened on their watch

McRae Women's Facility — Correctional Officer, 2004. Lilliott served as a Correctional Officer in 2004, a staff-tier position. No facility-level accountability records attach to this period.

McRae Women's Facility — Unit Manager, 2022; CSM Correctional Unit Manager, November 22, 2023, and January 1–December 15, 2024. Lilliott held unit-supervisor posts at the facility across these dates. No deaths are attributed to these tenures.

McRae Women's Facility — Deputy Warden of Security from December 16, 2024, and DEPUTY WARDEN for calendar year 2025 (recorded through April 15, 2026).

Both deaths attributed to Lilliott's leadership occurred during her deputy warden service at McRae Women's Facility:

• Jadia Corine Rozier died July 20, 2025, at McRae Women's Facility; the GPS death registry lists the cause as Homicide. She was 23. Lilliott held the DEPUTY WARDEN role at the facility on that date.
• Beverly Suzannne Sipple died March 16, 2026, at McRae Women's Facility; the GPS death registry lists the cause as Unknown/Pending, meaning GPS does not yet know the cause. She was 59. Lilliott held the Deputy Warden of Security role at the facility on that date.

The two decedents were 23 and 59. One death is recorded as a homicide; the other remains pending classification in the registry. No lawsuit, intel report, or news account in GPS's records ties additional detail, allegation, or circumstance to either death, and no broader systemic finding — a DOJ conclusion, audit, or mass-incident report — is documented in these records for her tenure at the facility. Beyond the two registry entries, the records support no further statement about conditions at McRae Women's Facility during her deputy warden service.
