What happened on their watch

Georgia State Prison (2009) — Correctional Officer. Her record lists a single year in a staff-tier custody position. No leadership-tier deaths are attributed to this posting, and the record states only the role and dates.

Coastal State Prison (2017–2025) — Recruitment Lieutenant (2017); Unit Manager (2018); CSM Correctional Unit Manager (2021–2025). These are unit-supervisor and recruitment postings rather than facility-leadership roles, and the records list no deaths attributed to them — a reflection of the accountability tier recorded for the positions, not a statement about conditions at the facility during those years. The available record states only the role and dates for this period.

McRae Women's Facility (April 16, 2026–present) — Deputy Warden of Security. This is the posting to which all three attributed deaths belong, and all three occurred within roughly five weeks of her arrival in the role:

• Kristal Lyn Layne, 55 — died May 10, 2026, while MacK was Deputy Warden of Security.
• Shannon Michelle Rush, 43 — died May 16, 2026, in the same role.
• Chasity King, 26 — died May 18, 2026, in the same role.

All three decedents are recorded under the same cause category in the underlying records, and none carries a public narrative, an attached intelligence report, or a named source account. The deaths span two days (May 16) and eight days (May 10–18) apart, and the decedents range in age from 26 to 55. The records do not state a manner or cause of death in plain terms, and no finding of fault, discipline, or investigation is documented against MacK in the materials provided.
