Tenure Summary

Meosha S. McMillan has held GDC leadership roles continuously since at least 2011, rising from Assistant Superintendent at Clayton Transitional Center through a series of facility-lead postings culminating in a Warden 2 designation at Burruss Correctional Training Center, where GPS records show she remains active as of 2025. GPS records attribute 18 deaths across her facility-lead tenures — 17 at Pulaski State Prison (2020–2022) and one homicide at Burruss C.T.C. (2025) — plus three additional deaths at Burruss during her Warden 2 tenure for which cause category data is recorded but no notes are provided. No lawsuits name McMillan as a defendant in GPS records. Her tenure at Pulaski overlapped with a DOJ investigation that documented constitutional violations at that facility and with the arrest of a deputy warden for sexual contact with a prisoner.

What Happened on Their Watch

Emanuel Women's Facility — Warden 1 (2017–2019)
GPS records show McMillan held the Warden 1 role at Emanuel Women's Facility for three years. No deaths are attributed to her tenure there in GPS records, and no lawsuits or intel reports specific to that posting appear in the structured data.

Pulaski State Prison — Warden 1 (2020–2022)
McMillan held the Warden 1 role at Pulaski State Prison — a women's facility — from 2020 through 2022. GPS records attribute 17 deaths to her tenure there, all falling under cause category 6 (cause unspecified in notes). The deaths span a wide age range: from Melissa Christine Thacker, 27, who died July 25, 2021, to Kathleen Conger Murphy, 71, who died September 28, 2021. Five deaths occurred in 2022 alone, including Monica Mae Cutts, 29, on August 15, and Christina Marie Buttery, 34, on December 21. According to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, Mollianne Fischer allegedly failed to receive adequate medical care at Pulaski, resulting in her being left in a vegetative state, and Bonnie Rocheleau allegedly failed to receive adequate care when she developed pneumonia, leading to her death — both allegations tied to the facility during this general period. A separate AJC report alleges that officers and staff at Pulaski failed to notice a prisoner being stabbed until an outside caller reported it, and that the prisoner had reported being assaulted hours earlier by ten people. A DOJ investigation documented constitutional violations at Pulaski State Prison covering the 2022–2023 period, overlapping the final year of McMillan's tenure there. GPS records also document a June 2022 report of gang members using violence to extort inmates and families at the facility. Separately, arrest warrants state that Deputy Warden Alonzo L. McMillian — a different individual — allegedly engaged in sexual contact with a prisoner on February 24–25, 2024, after McMillan had left the facility; McMillian was arrested May 2, 2024, and terminated by GDC the same day, per GPS records.

Burruss C.T.C. — Warden 1 / Warden 2 (2023–2025)
McMillan transferred to Burruss Correctional Training Center in 2023 and was promoted to Warden 2 in 2024. GPS records attribute four deaths to her tenure there: Jonathan Lee Mischloney, 46 (March 3, 2024); Christopher Troy Campbell, 58 (June 26, 2024); Anthony James Walkertriplett, 21 (September 9, 2024) — all cause category 6; and Tyler Michael Zacher, 22, whose death on February 3, 2025, GPS records note as a homicide.
